"Really lovely venue. Clean, spacious and attentive staff. They went out of their way to help! The food was delicious- we had the breakfast and, even as a big eater, I had to leave some of the full veggie english (amazing sausages!)! The pancakes were great too! We also used the packed lunch making facility for our climb to Helvellyn (which you can do from the hotel!) and this was also really nice. Would highly recommend. The only thing that would improve the hotel for me would be a dry room...

We would definitely return for another visit. I have only one observation to feedback, and its minor. The decor in our bathroom was tired and needs looking at. The bathroom was clean and tidy, but paint work and fixtures were beginning to show their age."

Top Buttermere Lake Hotel Reviews

YHA Buttermere - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Spot on"

Borrowdale Gates Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel in great location. Very helpful staff"

Mill House - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Mill House is situated in one of the prettiest and most peaceful parts of Braithwaite. Just across The Puddle (the road to the cottage) is Coledale Beck with its little bridges adorned with flowers. The cottage itself is generously sized, well-appointed and was spotlessly clean. It is light inside and the lounge/dining-room/kitchen is surrounded with windows and lovely views. The bedrooms share these views, and the master bedroom is dual aspect looking down the Beck on one side towards Skiddaw and up The Puddle the other side towards Kinn. The cottage has a private driveway though the gates are a little narrow for a large car. The garden at the back is magnificent and allows you to relax to the sound of the Beck. One thing we would particularly praise about the kitchen is that two cupboards were empty meaning we had places to store our food and some of our own utensils. There was very little to fault but in the interests of constructive criticism, the ensuite basin is just suitable for handwashing. Any other washing would need to use the full-sized basin in the bathroom which might result in a queue should there be six people staying. We would also have liked places in the bathroom to hang bath towels and places in the kitchen to hang tea towels."

Rose Bank Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 5 guests in 3 bedrooms

8/10 Good

"if it were not good we would not have stayed here 7 times. Parking, and getting out not easy due to hedging and increasing traffic down Newlands Road. Excellent for dogs"

Mary Mount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location next to Derwentwater was amazing with great walks from the door and right next to the jetty for the Keswick Launch. We loved watching the birds on the feeders outside the restaurant windows. The breakfast was fantastic with excellent quality ingredients and plenty to choose from including a self service full English cooked breakfast. Our small double bedroom was very clean and looked recently decorated. I loved the decor and the bar reminded me of a hunting lodge. The staff were friendly and helpful and we very much enjoyed our stay there."

The Duck House

10/10 Excellent

"homely and very clean. comfortable beds"

Hill Cottage, Braithwaite with views to Skiddaw and walks from the door

"Well presented, lovely house in the quiet village of Braithwaite. House was very well maintained, clean and spacious. Nice garden, with great views overlooking the fells. Couple of lovely pubs in the village too. Highly recommended and would certainly be back."

Riverside Cottage/Bungalow - Borrowdale - Nr Grange - just 4 miles from Keswick

"Host and family were really lovely.Spotless cottage. Top grade facilities.Spectacular views from all windows.It is Borrowdale after all one of our favourite places to visit.Patio was lovely with river view.Pity the weather wasn’t kinder.Will hopefully visit again soon."

The Royal Oak

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a lovely stay at The Royal Oak in Rosthwaite. It’s a beautiful, quaint hotel with so much character, set in a gorgeous location. The staff were absolutely fab — so friendly and welcoming — and the food was fantastic. Everything about the hotel made it feel relaxed and homely, and we really enjoyed our stay. I’d definitely recommend The Royal Oak to anyone looking for a lovely Lake District break. We’ll absolutely be back! ❤️"
