Hotel review: The Plough, Lupton, the Lake District

A Lake District pub-old has been destroyed and converted into a restaurant with five luxurious rooms. Sally Shalam impressed … with one or two exceptions

It has been six years since the station closed cabin Crosthwaite Kendal small and the Punchbowl Inn, so new (well, just tarted) still had a faint smell of paint. Restaurant and rooms are due more to the Hotel du Vin school that fell spit'n'sawdust interior trails. More Thoroughly Modern Boutique Cumbrian food pub opened its doors.

A company was formed, Posadas Punchbowl, and last year added a second pub, the plow in Lupton. Pub and restaurant opened in June 2010, he joined, now, with five bedrooms (created from an earlier 11), sixth – which occupies the entire top floor, although there is nothing to do yet – still to complete .

Its location, wonderful cow Front called on the A65, near the M6, it's easy to find. We walked in the bar (a nice mix of smooth slate, carpet pale, equestrian art and wood has been cleared) and find the restaurant in the back (elegant country house, you might say – a country house without cobwebs and the hair of the dog – complete with two modern, glass fronted wine caves). Hellooo. Anybody home?

Now we're being shown up. Wi-Fi is free, soft carpets, window blinds and curtains, dresses, tea and coffee can be ordered at any time and there is a night service. Whoopee.

"I wish I had brought my essential oils," says Clare when she realizes that there is nothing to put in the giant bathtub. If the platform perimeter in my bathroom was only a fraction wider, which could have put my items on it, but the only real drawback is the main road. I think the rooms at the back would be quieter.

See you at seven. Clare sinks back into the leather in trouble and calls for "a white light." What really (really) like the option to keep costs down. There are three sizes of glass of wine – a 125 ml glass starts at £ 2.60, or less than £ 5 for prosecco. The same goes for the menu, which has "small plates" to the individual order as owners or as a selection, such as covers, in addition to the network.

Thunk is the door to the kitchen and small plates are carried in the restaurant. Salt and pepper squid, tuna and red pepper confit rolls, tempura shrimp, beets, pine nuts, goat cheese and arugula – none of which costs more than 4 pounds. "It's sweet," says Clara of squid, prawns, but they are "very succulent." Largest goat cheese, but oh – we wish we had ordered more tuna rolls. Thunk, thunk. Clara now digging in the duck leg confit with mashed potatoes, pak choi and sesame. "If I had my eyes closed, I'd say it's the ham," he says. My risotto of peas and mint green is brilliant and unlike any I've eaten before. Rice has lost its way, something that is giving me a bitter taste, and there is a sense floret, broccoli just lurking in the center.

"This is going to be good," Clare says with a sparkle expectantly. Berry and rhubarb crumble is pleasantly acidic, while Cranachan – stacked in a silky voice, indulgently, in a little Kilner jar – it's as sweet as you can go.

We meet, after a lot of sleep and power showers, sun in the comfort of the bar. Mmmm, summer – freshly made yogurt with honey and citrus salad with lemon granita. We may also tell when the hob surface (thunk, thunk) that the proper sausage, meat Cumberland is alive and well and served here for breakfast consistency restored.
