"Really lovely venue. Clean, spacious and attentive staff. They went out of their way to help! The food was delicious- we had the breakfast and, even as a big eater, I had to leave some of the full veggie english (amazing sausages!)! The pancakes were great too! We also used the packed lunch making facility for our climb to Helvellyn (which you can do from the hotel!) and this was also really nice. Would highly recommend. The only thing that would improve the hotel for me would be a dry room...

Top Buttermere Lake Hotel Reviews

Mary Mount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place! Room was finished to a high standard and in a fantastic location overlooking Derwentwater. Staff were extremely helpful and breakfast was top quality. Will definitely be back!"

Borrowdale Gates Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"As a first time visitor to the Borrowdale Gates Hotel I have to say what a wonderful experience. The location was perfect with access to many hiking trails. The staff were pleasant and very attentive to our needs, the facilities including the restaurant were excellent, serving very high quality food. After spending several days at the Hotel I am convinced we will be returning. From two happy customers."

Keswick Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The food in the restaurant was first class and the staff were friendly and always helpful"

YHA Buttermere - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Spot on"

Mill House - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Mill House is situated in one of the prettiest and most peaceful parts of Braithwaite. Just across The Puddle (the road to the cottage) is Coledale Beck with its little bridges adorned with flowers. The cottage itself is generously sized, well-appointed and was spotlessly clean. It is light inside and the lounge/dining-room/kitchen is surrounded with windows and lovely views. The bedrooms share these views, and the master bedroom is dual aspect looking down the Beck on one side towards Skiddaw and up The Puddle the other side towards Kinn. The cottage has a private driveway though the gates are a little narrow for a large car. The garden at the back is magnificent and allows you to relax to the sound of the Beck. One thing we would particularly praise about the kitchen is that two cupboards were empty meaning we had places to store our food and some of our own utensils. There was very little to fault but in the interests of constructive criticism, the ensuite basin is just suitable for handwashing. Any other washing would need to use the full-sized basin in the bathroom which might result in a queue should there be six people staying. We would also have liked places in the bathroom to hang bath towels and places in the kitchen to hang tea towels."

Rose Bank Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 5 guests in 3 bedrooms

8/10 Good

"if it were not good we would not have stayed here 7 times. Parking, and getting out not easy due to hedging and increasing traffic down Newlands Road. Excellent for dogs"

Millside Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"After many stays at Millside, we were not disappointed at our recent visit. Small sunny and enclosed outside paved area surrounded by shrubs. Nice to see that there has been a bit of a tidy up of the planted areas. Views of Skiddaw and Barrow. Comfortable leather sofas, and good to have a separate kitchen/dining area. Bedrooms, although small are perfectly adequate with more than ample storage. The main bed is very comfortable, providing a great sleep. Useful to have a separate shower cubicle in the bathroom that has views of Barrow. Off road parking is a real bonus, we had no issues driving in and out of the drive despite cars parked on the road outside cottages opposite. Our spaniel loved the doggy welcome pack. Basic supplies are provided for humans, although guests will need to provide cleaning sprays, kitchen roll, washing machine powder/tablets as well as additional dishwasher tablets/washing up liquid as the welcome pack is quite basic. A small supply of tea bags, coffee and milk sachets and biscuits is also provided. The Village Shop is just a minute away and well stocked for basics as well as bread and cakes. Booths in Keswick is a couple of miles away as is a Co-op. Most online stores deliver to the village. Fellside Cafe/Bistro is highly recommended for excellent all day food and drinks. Super friendly. Coledale Inn has great views from the beer garden. Friendly staff and good food - huge portions. Endless low or high level walks from the door. Keswick Cottages provide excellent customer service, and their housekeeper was superb. We look forward to returning."

The Duck House

10/10 Excellent

"homely and very clean. comfortable beds"

Riverside Cottage/Bungalow - Borrowdale - Nr Grange - just 4 miles from Keswick
