For a special occasion the Holbeck Gryll is exceptional. The location and view, the food and service, the rooms and the attention to detail make it just a lovely place to visit. The welcome is warm and friendly, our fell view room (7) had access to a patio with wonderful views of the lake. The room is large, tastefully decorated... More

My wife and myself treated ourself to lunch, all very nice, service made the meal, food good, have had better at none Michelin star resteraunts. Portion sizes too small, will I go again, only if I win the lottery and buy one of the super cars that was parked in the grounds.

I had been looking forward to this for a while having been to another Michelin star restaurant previously. Perhaps my expectations were too high. It started well with drinks and canapés in the lounge, although I expected something more exciting than marinaded olives and breadsticks. My starter of duck terrine was nice but didn't blow me away.

The food was delicious and in a different league to any other restaurant I have been to in the area. The amuse bouche was... More

Probably one of my favourite places in the World. Great service, great food, great views, and with a family feel.

One of the nicest meals I've ever eaten, the crab matched with pink grapefruit made the palate explode.

Synopsis: No atmosphere whatsoever, no ambience. Very uncomfortable and un-natural dining experience. The detail: We were drawn in by being on the "I want to dine at a Michelin star restaurant bandwagon" and my wife booked this for my birthday which was on the day we dined. Its expensive in my eyes (£100 a head approx including a couple of... More

Holbeck Ghyll has always been quite a memorable experience to me as it was the first michelin star restaurant I have ever tried back in 2008. I revisited Holbeck Ghyll again sometime May 2012 but somehow was slightly disappointed that the menu remained the same. Only difference was we had tea+hot chocolate at the end of the meal this time... More
