A lovely hotel in the lakes, a little out of way, but with lovely views across Lake Windermere, it was a little bit too cosy in the small lounge we sat in for pre-dinner drinks, but the dinner was really exceptional - though a little slow - it was full of diners, due to its reputation. Each plate we were... More

What a vindictive lot guests can be, having stayed at Holbeck for the last five years often twice a year, I can not believe how anyone could not relax and enjoy there stay and give such a derisory score as one guest below. Clearly a little misshape is allowed to distort there whole perception. Trust me, Holbeck is good very... More

We went for lunch to celebrate a birthday, on arrival we were greeted warmly and we went to take seat in one of the lounges, there was some delay in getting a drink initially but from then on service was attentive. The food was fabulous - all four of our party had great dishes, cooked very well, with a great... More

Didn't stay this time but went for lunch. We find it difficult to fault the food, but would agree that the menu doesn't change very much irrespective of the time of year etc. Would be good to see a more varied menu from time to time. This is not a criticism of Holbeck Ghyll in any way, and we shall... More

We chose this hotel because of the setting, view, grounds, country house style with lounges and log fires, standard of suites and the in-house restaurant. We took our dog, so this limits the number of hotels available to choose from. A lot of hotels say they will take dogs only to find out you can only stay in a few... More

We have had many visits to Holbeck Ghyll and thought it was about time I write a review. You cannot fault the food/service at the hotel and we would highly recommend staying at Holbeck for a special occasion as you won't be disappointed. The only gripe we had last time we stayed was that the room was very cold when... More

I received a gift of a nights dinner bed and breakfast for Sunday evening. Looking on here and other forums I read very mixed reports, so here is my take on it. The approach to the Hotel is via a well made road but quite steep.Half way up the approach was a full overflow car park, we continued up to... More

We went for a four day break and found the whole experience every bit as outstanding as on previous visits. Service is superb (they currently have been voted as outstanding service hotel), the staff cannot do enough, the rooms are well furnished, the public rooms comfortable and inviting and the Michelin starred restaurant is fantastic.

This really is a treat hotel for us and we were there to celebrate a 50th birthday. I’d asked for flowers and champagne on arrival as a surprise – great choice and all there as requested.

Courteous and welcoming service; food easily worthy of its Michelin star; beautiful setting - and damson gin on arrival! We had a lovely room with big deep bath - great after a day's walking. The hotel dining room has amazing views across the hills and our room had a pleasant outside seating area,
