10. Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels

Ambleside

"Really lovely stay. The room was very spacious, spotlessly clean and well kept, with a modern bathroom. The spa was excellent, and it was especially nice to relax in the hot tub overlooking the mountains. Breakfast had a great range of options, including a hot breakfast and continental selection, and the food was excellent. Would definitely stay again. The only slight downside was the £10 parking charge, although I appreciate parking in the area is limited."

Top Elterwater Hotel Reviews

Keswick Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is an old style country house hotel. As such it will probably not be to everyone's personal taste (e.g.perhaps decor a bit dark) but we thought this hotel was excellent. Service, breakfast both super. The hotel is only 5 minutes walk from the centre of town and, importantly, has (free) car parking facilities. Would have no hesitation in staying here again."

The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Big thank you all round to the lovely staff. Also what a lovely surprise for the bouquet as a gift for my birthday and anniversary"

Riverside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property slightly dated but the staff so friendly and helpful. Free parking a welcome bonus."

North Lakes Hotel And Spa

8/10 Good

"Didn’t pay the extra £15 per person in order to use the pool - that’s extortionate when you are already a resident! Facilities looked nice however. Decor of whole hotel lovely. Waiter Joe was really good in the evening. Room suffers from road noise if you have to have the window open (it was hot!) - understandable as it is very convenient to the M6 junction."

Shap Wells Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean Staff - excellent Breakfast - Good (staff struggled to do their job). replenishments were slow."

The Ro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a lovely room overlooking the lake. I enjoyed the buffet breakfast. The weather was extremely hot during my stay but the room was air-conditioned and lovely and cool."

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels

8/10 Good

"A nice hotel with friendly dining room staff. The room/bathroom were a little bit tired but the bed and pillows were comfortable. The grout and tiles need a refresh. Steam from a short, hot shower triggered the fire alarm and we were met with a fierce member of reception telling us, ‘you have triggered my fire alarm’…by using the shower! Food was much better than expected at dinner. Breakfast was ok with plenty of choice. £10 per night to park. Well located. We didn’t use the spa but hot tub, sauna etc looked ok too. We would defo use again if we got a good deal."

1 Bed Flat - Sleeps 4 - Garden - Parking - Wifi

10/10 Excellent

"Great property for 3 people. It was well equipped very clean . Location perfect for Hawkeshead for all amenities. Will definitely return."

Woodlands Guest House Windermere

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place, nice breakfast and excellent staff. Room 15 needs a new shower head though!"
