"Visable damp on the bathroom wall by the shower and a very strong smell of damp in the downstairs area including bedrooms. The owner tried to disguise the smell with air fresheners and by leaving the windows open but the smell of damp was still immediately apparent on entry. Had we been staying longer than 2 nights and not arrived so late in the evening on the first night we would have left. It was a real shame because everything else about the property and surrounding area was beautiful, but...

Top Tarn Hows Hotel Reviews

Luxury pine log cabin positioned within the mountains of the Lake District

8/10 Good

"Very peaceful and relaxing well equipped"

The Coniston Inn - The Inn Collection Group

8/10 Good

"Room was ok, nothing fancy, staff were very helpful , breakfast was good, parking was also good. the ground's down to the lake was such a lovely space, and peaceful. The evening food was good, but the only thing for staying guest's was there was no proper lounge to relax in, only a small snug, away from the noisy bar area and lots of dog's."

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."

The Three Shires Inn

8/10 Good

"All the staff we met were great, cheerfull helpfull and polite. The room was clean and comfortable and what one expects in a very old building. Only 4 stars for 2 reasons the shower only worked on the large head and the food choices were very limited both in the restaurant and at breakfast. No salads and limited vegetables in restaurant.No fruit or cereal at breakfast. The hotel is remote which is part of it's appeal for us so going out in the evening is not an option,I would have struggled with finding a third evening meal."

Red Lion Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room in a great location. Both evening meal & breakfast were excellent & the staff were very friendly. Highly recommended."

YHA Hawkshead - Hostel

8/10 Good

"Stayed in shared dorm. Ok for 1st 2 nights. But 3rd night absolutely awful as there were 3 loud snorers in residence. So very little sleep. Continental breakfast q good. Annoying how they keep asking for a charity donation at each purchase"

The Hive at Poppi Red

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect room for a night away with my daughter - Tarn How’s- and loved the roll top bath in bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helpful for breakfast and dinner to cater for my daughter’s lactose intolerance . Food was delicious . This is the second time I’ve stayed here and it’s still of the same high standard . Highly recommended ."

Paradise in the Lake District.

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely pet friendly accommodation not far from Ambleside! Lovely walks nearby without the need to drive."

Beech Cottage (Hot Tub) - Skelwith Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"Our family could not grasp the picturesque little cottage that we were going to stay in for three nights! They were over the moon!Hosts were so helpful and responsive!A few things to know:The road leading to the cottage is soooo narrow and windy. Be prepared to drive this 2 mile route over and over again. Also I just feel like for the amount each night costs at this cottage that a least a few more amenities should be included. Would wants to go out and buy toilet paper on their vacation after paying 400-500/night? Whether staying one night or six you still only get one half roll of toilet paper for your whole stay. I feel like this is a super inexpensive upgrade to at least give one spare roll per bathroom and the same for paper towels. Other than these minor inconveniences we highly recommend this cottage for a perfect Lake District stay."
