Top Cumbria Hotel Reviews

Crown and Mitre Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Charming hotel with very accommodating staff. We were able to check in early. Thank you. Our room in the older section of the hotel needed some TLC - vinyl floor in the bathroom in particular. Nice, full breakfast"

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at Beech Hill Hotel. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and they were always attentive. We were also lucky enough to receive a complimentary room upgrade on arrival, which was a really nice surprise! We had both breakfast and an evening meal at the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed both. The facilities were great too. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay and would definitely come back. Thank you to all the staff at Beech Hill for making our stay so lovely!"

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"Strange entrance to our room as had to hold the fire door open and room door to get the cases in. Room was clean as was bathroom although bath panel very scruffy. Due to the style of sink turning the tap on causes a tidal wave and wets you through so have to use cautiously! Had to pay for parking as didn’t book directly with hotel."

Woodlands Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel in a great location between Windermere and Bowness. Hotel was clean, well maintained with basic amenities including a bar, car parking, and a restaurant for breakfast. We chose a basic ground floor room with a king size bed, en-suite with a shower. The room was clean and comfortable and suitable for our needs. An excellent breakfast was served daily. With options of full English, Salmon, pancakes, cereals, fruits and breads to choose from. All in all an affordable comfortable hotel in a great location."

North Lakes Hotel And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed whilst visiting the Lakes. Hotel was perfect for us as a family with children age 10 to 16. The buffet breakfast was a good selection, children loved the pancake machine. We also loved the pool, you had to pay extra but I felt this was worth it, the pool was a good size and steam room, sauna and jacuzzi nice for adults to relax. The hotel had a nice atmosphere, nice reception area with lovely open fire to sit by."
