Top Lake District National Park Hotel Reviews

Lakeside Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"First impressions were good. Room & bathroom clean. Got very warm during the night even though there was no heating on. Shame the main dining room wasn't open on Monday/Tuesday it looked a better menu choice than the brasserie. Overall staff were polite but the attitude during breakfast was generally unattentive & brusk. Would I go back? Probably"

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Warm welcome , clean room and beautiful view, spa facility was good"

North Lakes Hotel And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay at the North Lakes hotel last weekend! As we were travelling with our toddler, we chose a superior room to allow for more space. The room was clean and appeared to be recently refurbished. The small extra touches such as a full-size fridge, coffee machine and welcome biscuit were welcomed. This hotel is fab for day trips into the Lakes and evenings in the impressive spa and restaurant onsite."

Riverside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast, shops nearby, comfortable large room Parking good too"

Shap Wells Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A great overnight stop en route to Scotland. Wonderfully peaceful location with great walks around the hotel grounds. As others have mentioned do not take the direct sat nav guided route when you first leave the motorway. Follow the road to the A6 and enter from that direction otherwise you will be negotiating large potholes coming in the back way."
