"Visable damp on the bathroom wall by the shower and a very strong smell of damp in the downstairs area including bedrooms. The owner tried to disguise the smell with air fresheners and by leaving the windows open but the smell of damp was still immediately apparent on entry. Had we been staying longer than 2 nights and not arrived so late in the evening on the first night we would have left. It was a real shame because everything else about the property and surrounding area was beautiful, but...

Top Hawkshead Hotel Reviews

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and lovely friendly staff. Rooms are clean and bed is super comfy. It was quite warm though temperature wise on the top floor. Luckily we had a fan as the room was very warm and a little stuffy. Unfortunately during our stay all the outdoor spa facilities were closed due to renovations but indoor spa was good. Just a little crowded at the time we were there so we didn't stay in the spa long. The food in the bar area is great. Good selection of drinks too. Will definitely recommend and will stay again. Only issue is that location is a little out of the area so bit of a walk to get into town."

The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous hotel in a perfect location our family room was one of the most spacious we have stayed in. Loved it"

Shap Wells Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A big old hotel about a mile off the main road, wondered where we were going to start with as you couldn,t see the building. When we got there it had such character nothing modern looking at all, the reception staff were very happy to see you . The rooms had real doors keys and were comfortable. The staff did there best to understand our food intolerances which enabled us to eat in the restraunt. All in all a very pleasant overnight stay. Thankyou Shap Wells Hotel"
