Top Glenridding Hotel Reviews

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Staff were amazing, hotel was very old though. Just the 1 small lift. Gutters were overflowing when it rained. But location is class. Car parking is a massive issue however that’s not really the hotel fault but Just one to be aware of, although the hotels answer to the parking issue is to charge you £25 to use their car park but even that gets full by 1100. So plan ahead for parking. Breakfast is nice. Overall a good stay with amazing staff but just a very aging hotel with signs money has dried up."

Castle Green Hotel In Kendal, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"Fantastic hotel, great location, amazing staff. Because we booked through this site, we were charged for parking! £30 which we thought was a bit sneaky!"

Shap Wells Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff very helpful, lovely food and priced very good, good drinks service but felt bar man a bit over worked on his own but handled it very well. nice atmosphere."

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Amazing staff, great location and parking The food is average and the menu is very limited, the room (19) has been updated recently but was right by the the main road and a noisy extract fan on the floor below which came on at 4.15am every morning. Overall it’s a nice big hotel that has been in the process of renovation for the last few years. It would be a much better experience if they could expand the menu and quality of the food."
