Top Buttermere Hotel Reviews

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Great location, spacious immaculate room. Parking off site expensive at £25 per night."

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was excellent. Very good quality and service. Spa very good also and of course beautiful views. Only negative noise outside early morning due to renovations."

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"Badly needs bringing into the 21st century. No air conditioning in the rooms, and basic TVs with only Freeview. Need to change to smart TV or at least be able to Chromecast. Rooms are not cleaned by housekeeping unless you ask and when i did on 1 occasion they still didn't do it. I reminded them on reception after waiting 6 hours but still never turned up. In the end i knocked on housekeeping door to get fresh towels myself! Cooked breakfast was nice but very limited options for continental. Just natural yoghurt, no flavoured ones , especially nothing for our 5 year old daughter. Meats and cheeses was a tiny selection. I also personally think it's wrong to charge guests £15 a day to park your car. You know we all arrive by car so either just include in the price or don't do it. Bit annoying when checking out to be reminded I owe another £45. Staff were lovely as usual but you can tell they have cut back on the numbers. We stay there because of the location and the staff. I just wish you updated the rooms and the sofa bed in our family room is so uncomfortable it should be thrown out. Awful piece of furniture. For £260 a night i think your guests deserve more."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in a great location at the top of the town. Pool and spa facilities were great. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend."

Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Another amazing stay at the Lakes Hotel and Spa! We were upgraded on arrival and had a room with a lovely hot tub! We were also picked up in the Bentley as we walked back to the hotel at night time- the staff really can’t do enough for you and the cocktails are amazing!"

The Ro Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff member we met on arrival couldn’t of been nicer! Very warm welcome. Room was perfect, very clean, quiet and comfortable bed. “Spa” was not quite what we expected. A 20m swimming pool with a"

The Daffodil Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very relaxed atmosphere throughout the hotel. The staff were very welcoming and gave excellent service"
