Top Skelwith Force Hotel Reviews

Windermere Rooms at The Wateredge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Really good place for a relaxing little break would highly recommend"

Rothay Garth

8/10 Good

"It was alright, the staff were nice. Location was fantastic just walks away from waterhead, town centre and other places. Room was clean but on the table there was a green fly, must have slipped in from the window. Other than that it was pretty nice."

The Daffodil Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is lovely, well situated and very clean. Staff were few but very pleasant Spa was ok, but pool not very big Food was high quality and well presented Booked on line for restaurant, but no record of bookings when we checked in. All in all 7out of 10"

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

The Britannia Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly, helpful staff and excellent food."

The Three Shires Inn

8/10 Good

"Mountain View from room, room was tidy and ideal. However location is on a very narrow country road. The breakfast wasn’t warm the following morning, took too many orders at once and only one staff member so delays were experienced."

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

8/10 Good

"Very peaceful and relaxing well equipped"

Cottage In Beautiful Woodland Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"The property was lovely, very relaxing and quaint. The only problem with the weekend was actually locating the property, the post code isn't recognised and the property really is in the woods, none of the locals had heard of it when we asked at pubs / shops etc. A hard copy in the post with few a photos of landmarks en-route (pub, car parks, entrance to country lanes etc) to form a pictorial guide would help tremendously. Note the mobile reception in the area is quite iffy, print off all the instructions given by Sue the host.Also, when using the Vrbo app, the number / link given to contact the host said not recognized. All the above taken into consideration, the property and area really are worth a visit."
