Top Kirkby Stephen Hotel Reviews

Riverside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was alright for a one night stay. Was just about able to get a parking space. We didn’t have the breakfast but the view from the room was nice - of the river."

The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It wouldn't really be right to single out just one aspect of this hotel as being superb. The truth is that every feature you would want to be top quality in an outstanding hotel was exactly that during our stay! Friendly, helpful and polite staff made for a relaxing stay. The breakfasts were very special; tasty food matched by the superb views!"

Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 1 night at the end of September for a birthday. The hotel was stunning. The spa was bliss. We had a room with a hot tub and it was perfect. The hotel was quiet at night and other guests were respectful. The food and drinks were good, a bit on the pricier side. I would definitely stay again."

Castle Green Hotel In Kendal, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, restaurant and bar were a little pricey. But a nice atmosphere"

Stonecross Manor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, comfortable with good food."

The Kings Head Hotel, Richmond, North Yorkshire

8/10 Good

"The hotel reception, outside area, bar and restaurant were all great. The room was clean, the bathroom had been updated and was fine. The windows needed drastic attention, we could not move them due to the state of repair, I assume there is some sort on 'listed building status' but they really need attention. The location and everything else was great."

The Ro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay ,staff couldnt have been more helpful. Breakfast was really good quality. View beautiful. The hotel is very central to everything and would highly recommend. Hope to go back at some stage. All staff made you feel welcome especially Annliya who was so helpful and knowledgable about area and nothing was a problem very kind person and amazing at her job."

Aphrodites Group
