Glenridding Manor House

Glenridding Manor House

8/10 Good
"My wife and I had a very enjoyable and peaceful stay. This property was ideal for our needs. It only has 5 bedrooms, so the quiet, friendly, relaxing atmosphere was perfect. The host Elaine was very hospitable and always on hand for our every need. The room was newly decorated to a high standard and had a balcony where we could sit and relax, with a lovely view of the lake and mountains. We didn't stay for an evening meal but our breakfasts were excellent. Plenty of fresh fruit and cereals and a very good cooked breakfast with good local produce. The property borders the lake with seating adjacent to the water for a relaxing rest. The property is a very short walk into the Glenridding, with its shops, pubs and cafe's. Also, a short walk to Glenridding pier where steamers run regularly along the length of Ullswater. It wasn't a real issue but the grounds of the hotel has several old cars, caravans and boats stored which detracts from the pleasant gardens."

Troutbeck Inn

Troutbeck Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Loved our stay at the Troutbeck inn! Staff seemed hardworking and very busy but remained friendly and approachable at all times. Our stay was very quiet and the room was comfortable. Breakfast was great and, though I'm never normally a full English person at breakfast, I had one of theirs as my partner's breakfast looked cracking on the first morning (and mine didn't disappoint!) It's in a good location for Keswick or if you're bagging Wainwrights nearby. We also booked a table for food one night (they get busy) and the pie and sticky toffee pud to follow were fair decent. Highly recommend!"

Macdonald Leeming House

Macdonald Leeming House

8/10 Good
"We love the Leeming House Hotel, it is sad though that since it was Trust House Forte, it has gradually become tired, some of the exterior paintwork needs urgent work, the gardens are not what they used to be, the rooms are fine, however loving the contemporary furnishings for the period of the house, it is disappointing that it is all a bit tired, some paint could be bought and A Little love put into the building. On the side of service, I am disabled and my wife went downstairs to get some tea at The about four or 430 in the afternoon and she found someone to order it from, because there was no telephone in the room from which to order room service! And she needed two trays of tea as her sister and brother-in-law were going to join us for tea and she was told that was no problem, but it would be £20 to deliver the tea, incredible for a Hotel of that quality to blatantly charge for something that is a normal service is incredible, obviously we were happy to pay for the tea but it was the delivery also my wife asked for some biscuits and they said they didn't have any!! After lunch with my coffee I did ask if there was any chocolate and Jeff the weekend manager who is so nice said they don't have chocolate in the building however he went away and found some delicious home-made shortbread, what happened to that teatime!! The next morning we had a very nice breakfast, although the enjoyment was dampened as my sister-in-law asked for a latte to be told that was an extra charg"

YHA Helvellyn - Hostel

YHA Helvellyn - Hostel

10/10 Excellent
"I have nothing to compare it with as this is my first experience of youth hostels in 40 years. I was impressed. I loved the open area, bar and restaurant. The dormitory was excellent. Beds were well spaced, ample plug sockets, mattress & pillows excellent. Clean sheets and super mattress. The bed was as good as any 5 star hotel. Honestly. The shower was clean but a little small. The facilities in the kitchen were good but some of the pans had loose handles. The staff clearly clean but somehow not all guests have the same standard. Value for money ? Amazing. Staff were excellent and friendly. Its a top review and I will go back."

Cosy, romantic fellside cottage hidden in the Glencoyne valley

8/10 Good
"Fantastic location, unfortunately had a few maintenance issues with condensation and water pooling on the lower floors, which was resolved next day and managed to work around for the remainder of our stay. I would recommend is suitable for family of two adults and two small children, as bunks really only good for shorter people, certainly not tall teens or adults. We did manage to enjoy ourselves and have a good time regardless."
