"Everything was amazing. Great location and lovely staff. The view from breakfast and the terrace bar was great. 2 things to improve that really hot under my skin.... Breakfast wasn't great. And the hotel bar is extremely overpriced. We paid 10£ for 2 cups of tea (tea bag tea!!!) and alcohol and soft drinks also way over priced. If you book, just make a brew in your room and bring it down, it's the same tea!"

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Beech Hill Hotel. On arrival we received a complimentary upgrade. Our room was beautiful and the super king bed was unbelievably comfortable, we had the best nights sleep. The complimentary spa was a nice addition to our stay. The hotel is in a lovely location, far enough from the busy town so not too crowded or noisy but also not too far from anything. Perfect for a quiet getaway in the Lake District."
