Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

4/10 Poor

"Very old fashioned room desperately in need of a refurbishment and a deep clean. Would suit a couple in their 80’s as that was the decor. Breakfast was nice, but when my wife ordered poached eggs on toast she got 1 egg on 1/2 piece of toast, was pretty funny as it looked sad on the plate. Staff were lovely"

Keswick Country House Hotel

4/10 Poor

"This hotel is in an excellent location in Keswick and the staff were very helpful. The bar area was large and relaxing. However, the room, apart from the carpets, was tired and needed refurbishment. There was a black mould around the wooden windows. The shower unit was yellow with age. Even the toilet paper was thin and cheap. The breakfast was adequate, but the orange juice in particular, was like coloured water. Given the much higher price compared to local b&bs, we were disappointed with the overall experience."

Carlisle Station Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

6/10 Okay

"Disappointed with the standard of my room. I had the opportunity to upgrade from a standard room to an executive room. I have previously stayed in a standard room before, but I really struggled to see the different between a standard and an upgraded executive room. The bathroom was extremely outdated and the woodwork panelling was pretty poor. The carpets were threadbare, and on closer inspection, I could see a white creepy crawly coming from the carpet. I really wish I hadn't upgraded"

The Daffodil Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Hotel was fine, but not exceptional. However, there were not enough staff to run the bars in the day/evening. Evening menus were fairly limited and the same each day. We felt that the hotel was extremely overpriced based on the quality of service provided. We stayed for 5 nights and each morning at breakfast we were asked if it was our first visit to the restaurant - an indication of how valued we felt as customers!"

Armathwaite Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our second visit to Armathwaite and just as enjoyable as our first. From the moment we were welcomed in reception we felt right at home, and I immediately felt my stress levels drop! The team are excellent, always on hand to help and they enjoy a bit of banter too, there’s a real sense of fun and friendliness. Our waiter in particular was superb, he looked after us both nights as we tried the new Indian restaurant “Zaika”as well as in the Fine Dining Restaurant. Other meals were outstanding. (We didn’t catch his name, he’s been working at Bassenthwaite for 4 years, he told us he is originally from India, and very attentive!). Housekeeping were so efficient that our bedroom was freshened up whilst we had breakfast (overlooking spectacular gardens down to Bassenthwaite lake). Even the hotel cat was friendly! The environment and gardens are incredible, we were blessed with clear blue skies over the May Bank Holiday. Finally, the EV charging experience was very straightforward, and very reasonable. Our favourite Lakeland hotel, thank you to the team for such an enjoyable and relaxing stay."

Crown and Mitre Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent location right in the centre of Carlisle, and with albeit limited parking being a real bonus. Slightly tired room, but with evidence of past grandeur it felt like quality. Very good breakfast and very helpful front desk staff made our overnight stay an excellent choice. Will definitely come again if circumstances allow."
