The Gateway Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was easy to find, like it’s says in the name of”the gateway “. It’s the gateway to Windermere “. It only took us approximately 15 mins tops going to Windermere. Our room was on top floor. It’s small but it’s clean, very nice, quiet and cozy. There’s a touch modern, sophisticated chic look. We have a 3 yr old Chug called coco with us and as soon as we take her up in bed, she always go straight and position herself to the bolster pillow behind it , which is bigger than her right in the middle of the bed. The bed was comfortable . The 2 very nice chairs were very comfy to sit on while having a warm drink. The bathroom was nice and clean. I celebrated my birthday in there and I got complimentary bottle of proseco from the management. Thank you so much. The food was very nice and tasty. They allowed dogs with you in the restaurant which we thought was amazing because like our coco, she likes bread with butter. And they have comfortable seats with parasol outside the restaurant where you can just relax and have a drink. They have a huge front lawn where dogs like coco can play and they have their own parking space right infront of the hotel so you know your car is safe. The staffs were all very nice and welcoming to us as well as to coco especially Ionella. We will definitely recommend the hotel to our friends, family & colleagues. xx"

Appleby Castle

10/10 Excellent

"It was an amazing experience to be in a real castle we chose a cheaper room so we didn’t have an en-suite but a beautiful bathroom in the corridor instead. The owners were so helpful and friendly and we had a very good quality evening meal with beautiful romantic piano music played by the manager and a history talk too. The owner was a beautiful lady who chatted to us in the bar area. We’d like to go again. Breakfast was good."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Smardale?

The best time to go to Smardale is during the spring and summer months, specifically from May to September.This period typically offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the Smardale Gill Viaduct and the surrounding Smardale Nature Reserve. You'll find longer daylight hours, making it ideal for walking, wildlife spotting, and enjoying the natural beauty of the area without the chill of autumn or winter. The paths are generally drier and more accessible, which is a key consideration for visitors planning to spend time outdoors.Couples looking for a peaceful retreat will find these months particularly appealing. The warmer weather allows for leisurely strolls along the disused railway line, picnics by the Scandal Beck, and opportunities to observe the diverse flora and fauna, including rare butterflies and red squirrels. It's a great time for a relaxed, nature-focused break.For solo travellers seeking quiet reflection and outdoor activity, late spring and early autumn (May-June and September) offer a good balance. The weather is still favourable, but there might be fewer visitors than in the peak summer months of July and August.
