Crown and Mitre Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed here before with family excellent! I stayed on 25/7/26 with my man and we loved every minute. The pool, the room, jacuzzi, breakfast , very helpfull staff , we preferred a solo swim so reception rang our room to say pool was free , so appreciated! Upgraded us to a club room very nice indeed , extras were good , crisps bottled water biscuits coffee tea etc iron and board hairdryer , fan,.breakfast was so well cooked ! We will be back ....Donna and Phil"

Mary Mount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff, very friendly. Good room, comfy and clean. Breakfast quite good. There was an EV charger which we wanted to use however there was no sign so non EV cars blocked the space. A clear sign would be good! Lovely setting with great views . Bus stops every half hour a 5 minute walk from the hotel."

New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"3 nights in late July. Hotel is a great place to stay to experience the Lake District, not far from Ambleside but remote enough to feel like you are really in nature. Staff and breakfast were excellent. Walk up to Stickle Tarn was a good test with a couple of scrambly bits but well worth it once you got there."

Keswick Country House Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was the second time we’ve stayed at Keswick Country House Hotel and it will not be the last! Beautiful building, fantastic breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff, AMAZING cocktails, bunnies on the lawn! I had to take away one star because the toilet roll is terrible (single ply, practically dissolves in your hand) and housekeeping didn’t replace all our towels despite being left in the bath, but they are tiny, fixable things, and, like I said, staff are incredibly helpful and happy to help."
