Find Hotels with Pool in Hackthorpe

"Awful start to our stay. Firstly, the second carpark has zero signage, majority were reserved by other companies, and has a really tight entrance, no instructions on website inc FAQs, and very limited on email confirmation. Stressful start became more so when getting to the hotel. The person checking us in couldn't care less that we were there. Insisted that we decide what time we want breakfast, faqs on site say nothing about having to know in advance when you might be up and hungry, and the letter we received after checking in said they only need to know by 10pm, yet we were told she needed to know immediately, and rushed us along as though she had a qeueu behind with no one waiting. Just felt really unwelcome. Getting to the room meant dragging case up 7/8 steps, they had a lift but you had to go up or down stairs to get to it. Got to the room, there were wine stains and crumbs on tables, what we were hoping was just spilt sugar on a bedside table and stains on the lampshades above the beds. Nice relaxing bath after a stressful start? Nope, no bath plug. Beds were comfy enough, if not smaller than we are used to in a hotel, and pillows felt a bit flat. Asked to speak to manager about all of the above the next day, she apologised but didn't empathise or agree that those things were not acceptable, just sat, nodded, then apologised before going on with her day. The positives? The location is alright, the view from the window over the river was lovely, and most other staff ok"

"Didnt have a kitchen"

"This hotel was ideal for my 2 night stay in Penrith. The room was clean and comfortable with tea/coffee facilities and robes/slippers available for the pool and/or spa. Pool and gym opening hours were good and the gym is well equipped. Staff in all areas were helpful and friendly. The restaurant menu offered a varied selection and I ate there on both evenings. The atmosphere overall was relaxing. It was an ideal place to stay for my first visit to Penrith and I'd be happy to stay again. "

"Underwhelming. This is a very ordinary hotel, despite the hot tubs, pool and spa. The decor is vile, all dull browns with turquoise. In the “Troutbeck” room there is a nasty trip hazard into the bathroom. A stubbed toe was annoying but a cracked skull would have been more so. Tip: if it’s not fixed put a rolled up hand towel down to fill the gap and catch your attention. Pillows were like sandbags and need immediate replacement. The mattress had an uncomfortable lump and was likely in need of replacement too. The hot tub was good, as was the jacuzzi bath. The fridge was handy, and the chairs comfortable enough for a short while. Free parking on site. The building is a maze of corridors and stairs. Regrettably the lift was out of order for the first 24 hours or so. As a walking stick user this was less than ideal. Breakfast was okay but not special. My choice of evening meal, “roast of the day”, was almost inedible. Vegetable selection poor. The wait staff were pleasant but scruffy, in contrast to the smart and highly exuberant maitre’d. It is far from being a gourmet restaurant and there are other places to eat."

"Trever was fantastic looked after us very well "

"The Daffodil Hotel is a really decent hotel, we came for our little honeymoon. Room was very clean, reception staff very welcoming and the beds are comfortable. We loved the view from our window of the lake and hills. Gorgeous location! Only issues was we had no fridge in our room, not having somewhere cold to store our 'bottled gifts' we brought from our wedding was disappointing. Also the reception lounge bar was closed constantly, its a shame as we fancied a nice cocktail and snack to celebrate, the actual restaurant was a bit too pricey for us. "

"Perfect area, "

"Lovely hotel with outstanding outlook on the edge of Lake Windermere and in the centre of Bowness. "
