Top Skelwith Force Hotel Reviews

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent little guest house for a short stay in the Lake District. Victor checked us in and looked after us for breakfast. He’s a lovely lad super friendly nothing was too much trouble."

Blelham Tarn (Rustic yet modern cabin in tranquil woodland with own EV charger)

10/10 Excellent

"We've just returned from a fantastic weekend stay at Blelham Tarn and would happily stay again.From the moment we booked, communication from Andy and Maggie was excellent. Their instructions were clear, concise, and made everything very straightforward.The cabin is ideally located, just a 10-minute drive from the centre of Ambleside, yet it feels wonderfully secluded, giving you the sense of being miles away from everything. We really appreciated the peace and tranquillity. The on-site pool and sauna were a huge hit, especially with our two teenagers, and provided a great way to relax after a day of exploring.The cabin itself was extremely well equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We genuinely couldn't find any faults and have no negative comments at all.Overall, a wonderful stay in a beautiful location. Highly recommended. "

Paradise in the Lake District.

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment is in a location, on the hillside, amongst trees and overlooking a wildlife pond.The onsite swimming pool was appreciated by our grandson, he loved it. Despite being on a holiday "site" it is quiet and feels secluded.It is well equipped, clean, warm and comfortable.We would not normally stay in a property on a site, and didn't realise this one was, but we would not hesitate to return."

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely decor, modern facilities and very helpful staff"

The Three Shires Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem Loved it Period building lovingly maintained"

The Daffodil Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is lovely, well situated and very clean. Staff were few but very pleasant Spa was ok, but pool not very big Food was high quality and well presented Booked on line for restaurant, but no record of bookings when we checked in. All in all 7out of 10"

The Britannia Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly, helpful staff and excellent food."

Luxury pine log cabin positioned within the mountains of the Lake District

8/10 Good

"Very peaceful and relaxing well equipped"

Cottage In Beautiful Woodland Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"The property was lovely, very relaxing and quaint. The only problem with the weekend was actually locating the property, the post code isn't recognised and the property really is in the woods, none of the locals had heard of it when we asked at pubs / shops etc. A hard copy in the post with few a photos of landmarks en-route (pub, car parks, entrance to country lanes etc) to form a pictorial guide would help tremendously. Note the mobile reception in the area is quite iffy, print off all the instructions given by Sue the host.Also, when using the Vrbo app, the number / link given to contact the host said not recognized. All the above taken into consideration, the property and area really are worth a visit."
