One mini break gone. Eleven still up for grabs.

On Monday we drew the first winner of our 12 Weeks of Christmas giveaway. Peter stayed with us with his son Henry, and he's now planning a European mini break. That leaves eleven more to give away before Christmas.

Here's how it works. Every guest who stays one or more nights is entered automatically, with no forms, no tagging and no catch. We draw a new winner every Monday right up to Christmas. We choose the destination, and the winner decides whether to go for two, three or four nights.

So that autumn walking weekend, the midweek escape you keep putting off, or a cosy December stay before the festive rush all come with a ticket in the draw.

The next winner will be drawn on Monday 19th October.

Of all the nights to be murdered at The Ryebeck, someone has chosen Friday the 13th.

On Friday 13th November, the talented cast of Sudden Death Theatre Company are moving in for one evening of crime, comedy and very questionable alibis. Between each of your five courses, the plot thickens, the suspects squirm, and you get to interrogate them yourself – all in character, naturally.

Somewhere between the starter and the desert, you'll need to work out whodunnit.

Dinner and Murder Mystery – £59 per person
Make a night of it – from £199 for two, with an overnight stay (price depends on room choice)

Spaces are limited, and so are the alibis.

To book. Call 015394 58504

Last year's Bonfire Night was so busy we've had to rethink a few things. This year we're ready for you.

Friday 6th November, from 5.30pm. Free entry.

The fireworks go up between 7.30pm and 8pm, so get settled by the fire, grab a drink and keep your eyes on the sky over the gardens.

A few things worth knowing before you set off:

Parking is first come, first served. Arrive early to bag a space and you'll have plenty of time to eat before the display.

We've added extra bar staff this year, so less time queuing and more time with a drink in hand.

Head Chef Derek is cooking up hotpot, pulled pork porchetta and a Vienna in a posh roll, with more coming off the BBQ. Food is priced separately. If you'd like a table to sit down and eat, book ahead here:

Bonfire, fireworks, good food and a proper Lake District night out. See you there.

One down, eleven to go

Congratulations to Peter Buswell, the first winner of our 12 Weeks of Christmas giveaway. Peter stayed with us last week with his son Henry, and he's now off on a European mini break. We'll choose the destination, and Peter gets to decide whether he goes for two, three or four nights.

The rules are simple. Stay with us for one or more nights between now and Christmas and you're entered automatically. There's nothing to fill in and nothing to share. We draw a new winner every Monday, so every stay between now and the end of December is a chance to leave the Lakes with more than happy memories.

Peter's name is on the board. Yours could be next.

There’s a right way to spend a Sunday, and it involves a roast dinner, a view of Windermere, and absolutely no washing up.

Dogs welcome too, so no one gets left behind.

The best view in the house might be the one you wake up to.

Our rooms at The Ryebeck are made for doing very little. Deep, comfy beds you'll struggle to leave, soft lighting for lazy evenings, and windows looking out over gardens, woodland and the fells beyond Windermere.

When you do get up, Bowness is a short stroll away, our bar is ready for a drink with a view, and The Giddy Goose has dinner covered. Dogs are welcome too.

Stay one night or more before Christmas and you're automatically entered into our 12 Weeks of Christmas draw for a European mini break.

This weeks soup at The Giddy Goose Restaurant and Bar

Parsnip and spiced coconut. The parsnip brings that sweet, earthy depth that feels made for October in the Lakes, while the coconut and spice add a soft, slow warmth. It's finished with a drizzle of curry oil and topped with parsnip crisps, so every spoonful gets a bit of crunch. Fresh bread and butter on the side for the all-important bowl wiping.

Our first winner will be drawn on Monday 12th October. Will it be you?

Stay with us for at least one night this week, and your name goes into Monday's draw for a European mini break. We choose the destination, and the winner chooses whether it's two, three or four nights.

There's nothing to sign up for. Your booking is your entry.

If you miss this week, there's another winner every Monday after that. But there's something nice about being in the very first one.

So this might be the week you finally take that night away: an autumn walk through the woods, a drink in our stylish bar, and dinner in The Giddy Goose. Then fingers crossed for Monday.

Tag the person you'd take with you. Tagging doesn't enter you into the draw, only a stay does, but it's a good way to drop a hint.

Derek has been busy with this weeks new Giddy Goose menu, and it includes a few dishes that have never been on a plate here before.

First up is KFR, Kentucky Fried Ryebeck. It's crispy whitebait with watercress and burger sauce, and it's the starter we expect to be talking about all week.

The grey mullet is new too. Pan-seared fillets come on baby leek crushed potatoes with a lobster red pepper bisque and heritage tomatoes.

The pheasant is new as well. The breast is stuffed with wild boar and damson and served with purple carrots, butternut squash purée and a plum red w**e jus. It's proper autumn on a plate.

Don't worry, the favourites haven't gone anywhere. The Rag Pudding is still on: beef shin braised for six hours in suet, with proper chips, chip shop mushy peas and bone marrow jus. So is the Kidderton Ash goat's cheese on toast, the 10oz ribeye with peppercorn sauce, and the sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel ice cream.
