There is only one thing that is better than a holiday, and that is a holiday with great food! If your perfect idea of a UK staycation involves getting away to tranquil hotels in the beautiful countryside, where there also happen to be fabulous restaurants, you’re going to love these places:

Forest Side, Grasmere, Cumbria

Right in the heart of the Lake District, Forest Side Hotel has everything you need for a luxury stay and gourmet food that will exceed even the highest expectations. With 90% of the ingredients sourced within 10 miles of the restaurant, you can enjoy traditional Cumbrian cuisine after working up an appetite walking in the stunning surroundings.

The Grove at Narberth, Pembrokeshire

Pembrokeshire is the ultimate staycation destination, combining stunning countryside landscapes with coastal adventures. This part of Wales also boasts some of the best fine dining options, including the Fernery at The Grove Hotel, which has earned 3 AA rosettes. Foodies flock to this amazing hotel to enjoy the exquisite menu as well as to explore the local Welsh landscape.

St Edmunds House, Padstow

Another great place for foodies to stop at when travelling in the UK is Padstow, a fishing town on the north coast of Cornwall. If you stay at St Edmunds House, you have easy access to some of the UK’s best beaches at St Ive's. There’s also a great selection of fine dining restaurants to choose from (and don’t forget to visit the local fudge shops!).

Morston Hall, Norfolk

 This 17^th-century country house offers a culinary experience you will never forget. Once you have sampled the no-choice seven-course menu, you will immediately understand why the restaurant has held a Michelin star for 20 consecutive years. The Dine and Dream package is popular, allowing guests to enjoy dinner, bed, and breakfast, leaving your days free to explore the Norfolk coast.

The Three Chimneys, Skye

If you are planning a trip to the Isle of Skye, the Three Chimneys should be the first stop on your Scottish adventures. If you were not planning on going to Skye, you might be tempted to change your mind, as this exceptional restaurant is just one reason to holiday in Skye! The restaurant overlooks Loch Dunvegan and when the weather is nice, al fresco dining is unbeatable at the Three Chimneys. Expect delicious delights such as oysters, Black Isle beef and Devilled Pigeon.
