Recently had a one night stay here. Beautiful room with amazing views of lake Ullswater. The whole hotel was elegant and understated in a delightful old fashioned way. We are both foodies and have stayed in many starred hotels but the food here was outstanding and the service was too. Looking for somewhere exceptional we'll this is it. We had... More

This is one gorgeous hotel! We were there with a group of friends for two nights as part of a long weekend of gastro dining experience. I picked this particularly hotel based entirely on their website and reviews from TripAdvisors. It did not disappoint at all. What's good about it? Basically everything. The location could not be more perfect, over-looking... More

We have stayed here twice recently. The food was excellent though I am anxious that the chef is about to change. The dining room has views in the direction of the lake. It is a pity the car park is in front of the hotel. Staff are friendly which is always important. The standard rooms are OK but do not... More

We stayed in the room named Mell Fell, and it was absolutely wonderful, comfortable with fabulous lake and garden views. The formal gardens on the property are astonishingly beautiful. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, even coming in early to prepare a quick get-away breakfast at 7 AM as we were driving to Manchester to catch a plane. The... More

Having read previous reviews we decided to visit this hotel instead of our usual hotel in the Lakes. We are so glad we did. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcomed and valued. The location is perfect, with breathtaking views of Ullswater and the superb gardens that the hotel is set in. The rooms ( ours... More

Wow! We pre-booked this hotel by chance on Booking.com (double-checked on Trip Advisor!) for our first night after our wedding day! We were travelling to the Isle of Skye on honeymoon, and worked out that we would break our journey in the Lakes. Alas we left later than planned, and it proved slightly further than we anticipated, so we didn't... More

It has all been said before but we cannot fault this beautiful country hotel. A 3* hotel with 5*+ treatment! We spent one night here on a special DBB deal at very reasonable price. The staff were all really friendly, helpful and welcoming. Our room was luxurious with a big bathroom and one of the most comfortable beds we have... More

Location is superb. Hotel is gorgeous, rooms spacious ( ours was a "small") - lake views stunning. Food outstanding. The whole dining experience was impressive. Cannot find a negative , and would go as far as to suggest that any who could find fault might be better asking if they themselves are not the problem. Whole stay start to finish... More

I could not fault anything, staff were friendly, very obliging. The location of the hotel is stunning and the gardens are immaculate. The hotel itself is spacious, well furnished and well maintained. The bedrooms are lovely and very clean, and it's very quiet. Ours was one of the most comfy beds I have slept in. Best of all is the... More
