Booked three nights at this hotel for my wife and me, one day before arrival, as the weather forecast was favourable – you need good weather in the Lake District. I based my choice on location and excellent reviews on TripAdvisor.We certainly weren’t disappointed. The location was ideal for us in that we could embark on walks in Barrowdale and... More

Not sure how this place is only a three star hotel, it was perfect. The staff, especially Jamie and Tim were superb. The value including dinner and breakfast was amazing, they even have excellent champagne that is reasonably priced.

This was a late booking and was an outstanding choice. The location in Borrowdale is absolutely stunning. The fabric, decor and comfort of the hotel is faultless. The staff are friendly and totally helpful in every way. First class restaurant with brilliant service.

Stayed here for a walking weekend in April. This place is a gem - exactly how a hotel should be. The setting is magnificent, the staff are wonderful, and the restaurant is about as good as it gets. The staff - in particular the chef - must really take a pride in what they do here. Not desperately cheap, but... More

Excellent hotel and superb staff. My husband and I stayed at the Leathes Head with our dog. The look is a luxury, charming country house hotel and the atmosphere created by the staff is 100% relaxed, welcoming and down to earth. This hotel offered fantastic value for money and we will definitely be returning as soon as possible.
