Top Great Clifton Hotel Reviews

The Bridge Inn

The Bridge Inn

8/10 Good
"Great bar food and evening spent here after a long day walking. Even had sky sports. Single Room was good for what I wanted and bathroom facilities Good. Only down was noisy floor on the corridor outside rooms on first floor which creaked with every person walking the floor. Early morning or late evening. Needs a bit of work. Saying that it was good value for money amd would use the place again as access to Wast Water and area"

Mary Mount Hotel

Mary Mount Hotel

8/10 Good
"The breakfast buffet was excellent although the hot buffet would benefit from closed containers as the food soon became cold from the open ones. The rooms were well heated and ventilated. All the staff were excellent and very dog friendly. My only complaint was although I had asked for a ground floor room due to problems with my knees this was not available and I had to manage the stairs which was difficult. On the whole à very pleasant break"

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"Mostly it was fine. Food and drinks are expensive though. The place is a bit like a rabbit warren so it could do with a few more signs around both to and from reception to the rooms. Especially on both sides of the door near the table tennis. The communal spa changing rooms are not everyone's 'cup of tea' It would appear that the reception computer could do with an update as it took some time to recognize our booking NB The hotel is on the main A591 at the Cockermouth turning. If using the post code Sat Nav will send you to the remote Bassenthwaite village."

The Grange Country House

10/10 Excellent
"A lovely hotel which we will use again when visiting the Lake District. The staff are super friendly and helpful, especially Michael, who was always ready with recommendations and advice. The room itself was very clean and comfortable, with a comfortable supportive bed for a great nights sleep after a days walking. Breakfast time was spectacular even before you sat down, with magical views from the breakfast room over to the misty hills in the distance. The breakfasts themselves were equally wonderful, freshly cooked to order, home-made flapjacks, loads of fresh fruit. The hotel is easy to reach off the A66 and there is good car parking on the grounds (an important factor in Keswick). Keswick and Derwentwater are an easy 10-15 downhill stroll from the hotel. A wonderful hotel, thank you very much for such a super stay."
