Top Cumbria Hotel Reviews

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"We had a lovely family room - Ideal for the 4 of us. Parents had a 2 person room in the old building. My advice is to request a room in the new building if you prefer to avoid stairs - We were not aware of all the stairs and my parents found it difficult. This wouldn't stop us staying again - we would just request a ground floor room. Food was good. Parking was good. Most of the staff were excellent. Was in an excellent location for our needs."
