Our top choices for Cumbria cottages

1. The New Inn 1730

Appleby-in-Westmorland

"Our stay at the New Inn 1730 was only overnight, and we arrived around 6pm on a Sunday evening. This is a welcoming & friendly pub, with restaurant and accommodation. The owner did his best to accommodate our needs during our short stay, and is still finding his feet a little having only recently taken on the business. Food options were limited when we arrived, particularly for our two fussy children, so we did eat elsewhere that night, but the cooked breakfast in the morning was very good,...

9. Nutkin Cottage

Windermere

"This is a lovely cottage and the location is great. We had a fantastic stay in Windermere. However, be aware that the street parking is only for an hour and so a paid carpark is needed, not free parking as advertised. I messaged Sykes Cottages about this issue twice and received no response so communication was unfortunately a problem. The cottage was also in the process of being cleaned when we arrived, despite this being after the check-in time."

Top Cumbria Hotel Reviews

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

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

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel with marina views. Rooms well equipped and spacious. Range of toiletries in the bathroom. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. However, for the cost of the hotel, I was disappointed with the following: As a 'dog-friendly' hotel, we could not eat in the main restaurants with our furbaby. We had to settle for a limited menu in the bar area. The meals were lukewarm when they were served, and we had to send 2 of the 3 meals back and wait for them to be recooked. The replacements were piping hot. The same restaurant issue arose the next morning regarding dogs; however, we were able to go into the restaurant and bring the food through to the bar area, which had been set up for others doing the same. The produce was high quality but had obviously been out for a while, so eggs, sausages and bacon were quite 'dry/overcooked'. Very disappointing."

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."

North Lakes Hotel And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Customer service in the restaurant was amazing lots of different selections off food to choose from. Spa was lovely shame robes weren’t available In the room though. £1 coin needed for the lockers which I hadn’t realised. The rooms are very clean the bed was so comfy great nights sleep "
