Recent Reviews in Lake District National Park

Lakes Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel and spa. Staff really friendly throughout hotel and restaurants. Rooms modern and clean. Worth noting parking charges if not booking direct and no gym on site (some 3rd party sites say fitness suite )"

Woodlands Guest House Windermere

10/10 Excellent

"The room is cosy and comfortable, with plenty of parking spaces in both the front and back of the building. The made-to-order breakfast was very good, although it doesn’t start until 8:30 a.m. The location is convenient—about a 10-minute walk to town and a 15-minute walk to the lakeside."

Riverside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room was shabby and very tired"

The Ro Hotel

8/10 Good

"The food in the restaurant was not very good at all. Very little selection . The menue was the same each evening, including the soup of the day. The out side patio needed the ash trays emptying and rubish off the floor. The staff were lovely but at times there was not enough of them on shift. Resulting ln a long wait at the bar to be served."

Keswick Country House Hotel

8/10 Good

"You cannot fault the location of the hotel, within easy walking distance of the centre of Keswick. The staff are wonderful. I asked for a cocktail the bar steward wasn't aware of. However, when I to the bar the following evening, he'd looked up what was in it and was able to make me one. The food is very good, with a good choice and the dining staff are very professional. However what does let the hotel down is the interior decoration. It is very tired and worn and defiantly needs an upgrade."

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed our stay. The staff were very helpful and we had a lovely room."

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely hotel with relaxed vibe. Best view from our room of lake & also from bar & restaurant. SPA was a lovely addition to our stay. All staff were attentive & friendly. We really enjoyed a 2 night break here."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Staff were amazing, hotel was very old though. Just the 1 small lift. Gutters were overflowing when it rained. But location is class. Car parking is a massive issue however that’s not really the hotel fault but Just one to be aware of, although the hotels answer to the parking issue is to charge you £25 to use their car park but even that gets full by 1100. So plan ahead for parking. Breakfast is nice. Overall a good stay with amazing staff but just a very aging hotel with signs money has dried up."

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels
