Top Buttermere Hotel Reviews

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Adam on reception was the best, nothing was to much trouble. The breakfast was first class. The hot tub on the balcony helped to make this a 5 star visit and if that is was not enough you can pop down to the swimming pool."

Keswick Country House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Close to town yes I would stay there ag"

Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for a few nights at the end of July. The hotel itself had good facilities - a lovely spa area and swimming pool, a "pub" underneath the spa/next to the pool, and a balcony area where food was also served. The view over the lake from the balcony was nice, and the food was excellent. It was nice and quiet, and location wise it was a few minutes walk to the lake and then on to Bowness itself. The only downside is that there's no ski lift up to the hotel after a hard day's hillwalking :D In terms of the bedroom - the bed was comfy and the room was quiet and clean. The furniture was overall good, and the bathroom was a bit small but definitely functional. The only major knock is that there's no air-conditioning, only one desk fan. This was ok when we went, but would no doubt have been very difficult if we had gone during one of the heatwaves. Overall though, I'd recommend staying at Lakes (also - visiting the Lake District in general!)"

The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic weekend, excellent hotel with amazing views. Very friendly staff."

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Room service is not good enough"

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Everything at the hotel was brilliant! the reception, housekeeping and dinning room staff were all very attentive and the hotel room was very clean and comfortable"

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very well maintained and super clean one of the nicest hotels we’ve ever stayed in the Uk, the staff went above and beyond and were very accommodating they kept our luggage as we planned a hike and the breakfast was lovely too. We hadn’t had the time to use the spa facilities or anything else. We would recommend this hotel as everything is super close and convenient. Thank you to all the staff"
