Top Buttermere Lake Hotel Reviews

Borrowdale Gates Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel but not having air conditioning during the hot summer months is not great. Also for a high end hotel you would think they would have decent fans. Not a £30 thing from Argos."

Mary Mount Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Mary Mount is a lovely hotel that is in the PERFECT spot - the lower end of Derwentwater and right at one of the ferry stops! The scenery is remarkable! The staff was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The only complaint I would have is the room we stayed in had an uncomfortable bed and was a bit noisy in the evening when people were having a late dinner or drinks. The walls dont keep the noise out. Other than that I loved the stay and would stay again but probably get a different room, requesting one far from the the kitchen dining area."

Stanger Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay in this cosy, quiet cottage with plenty of space and everything you needed. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well stocked but, you will need to bring any essentials salt and pepper, oil, etc. very nice pet welcome pack and packs of welcome with tea and cleaning items. There is a village shop nearby and several pub restaurants. There are a number of great walks on your doorstep from easy to more challenging without needing drive.. A beautiful area to explore so we will be back! Thank you very much! "
