Linthwaite House

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room and public spaces. Comfy bed. Delicious food. Super friendly and helpful staff. Not walkable to town since would have to walk on the road (no sidewalks), but easy to get a taxi or Uber there and back. Would absolutely stay here again!"

"Lovely stay fantastic staff would stay again"

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel which has had some recent refurbishment. Breakfast was only OK. Buffet style but food was only warm, some of which was poor quality. Lighting of the ballroom needs attention as it was so bright. Large lake view room was lovely, albeit it needs checking more thoroughly as there were cobwebs and maintenence issues. Gardens needs lighting as we nearly fell trying to return to the hotel o the dark. Paying for carparking when you've paid £350 per night is poor."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Everything was amazing. Great location and lovely staff. The view from breakfast and the terrace bar was great. 2 things to improve that really hot under my skin.... Breakfast wasn't great. And the hotel bar is extremely overpriced. We paid 10£ for 2 cups of tea (tea bag tea!!!) and alcohol and soft drinks also way over priced. If you book, just make a brew in your room and bring it down, it's the same tea!"

Oakfold House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property and hosts. Breakfast plentiful and room just what we needed. Short walk into Bowness."
