Buttermere Hotel Reviews

New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel
5/5 Excellent
Three night break
"The hotel is in such a stunning area and the views are spectacular. The hotel room was very clean and had everything needed for a basic stay. It does need some modernisation (no USB sockets) and the pillows were very hard. I cannot fault the staff and especially Diane at breakfast who was so attentive and polite even though she was continuously in the go. The breakfast selection was excellent. We also had dinner one evening and the pie of the day was delicious. We found the experience very good and would stay again "

"We liked everything about it
It is a short walk from Windermere and Bowness on Windermere
Breakfast is like what you would expect from a fancy establishment but is served from 8.30 to 10. If you want an early start,skip breakfast "
