Top Skelwith Force Hotel Reviews

Rothay Garth

8/10 Good

"Great location. The property was a little dated but the helpful staff and the great breakfast made up for this"

The Three Shires Inn

8/10 Good

"Wonderfully authentic Lakeland Inn.Our stay was peaceful with so many opportunities for walks straight from the door.Limited options available for dinner, would have appreciated more choices.cooked breakfast was very good but some yoghurt, fruit would have been welcome.Selection of beers at the bar was very good.The staff work extremely hard but we thought an extra member of staff would have helped to reduce waiting times at dinner and breakfast"

The Daffodil Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel with lovely well kept lawns and a stunning view of the lake. Staff are very professional and courteous. Everyone I encountered was friendly, hardworking working and clearly wanted the guests to have a really enjoyable and valued stay at the hotel. The cleanliness of the room was exceptional. Very good housekeeping team. The spa was nice to use after a days cycling and hiking. The hotel also provides guided local walking routes that are nice to do from the hotel. The hotel has easy access to Grasmere village so able to walk from the hotel into the village for a coffee and delicious ice-cream. Ambleside was also very accessible via the local bus route so no need to use the car for exploring the immediate local area. We stayed for four nights so able to totally relax and be rejuvenated. Good breakfast and dinner options available. There is ample space to relax and fully enjoy the beautiful countryside that inspired Wordsworth poetry."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a 5 night stay in June and on arrival we were awarded a room upgrade. The suite 'Woodlands' was excellent and although across the yard, was no problem at all. Breakfasts were excellent with a great choice, including many fruits. Individual cooked items were well presented and tasty. We took 2 evening meals at the hotel and again the choice of meals on the menu and the quality was superb. Staff were very helpful, professional and courteous. The facilities including the lounge, bar, swimming pool, sauna, steam room and indoor and outdoor jacuzzis were all excellent All in all a superb stay and a place thoroughly recommended and one worth coming back to."

Cottage In Beautiful Woodland Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely quiet little cottage- very homely with a nicely equipped wee kitchen. Loved its secluded location. If you love walking, wildlife and old charm, you’ll enjoy this cottage. The coop in Grasmere (30 mins stroll down the lane) was fine for our self-catering needs."

22 Thrang Brow - 3 Bedroom Holiday Home - Langdale Valley

8/10 Good

"The location was great. The house had plenty of space and was warm on a very wintery long weekend.There was one minor niggle and one fairly major one that would have been a lot worse if staying more than 3 nights:Minor - kitchen bin life would not close - common issue with the type of bin, probably just needs replacing.Major - hot water - the red light above the economy 7 switch for the overnight hot water was not on when switched on and there was no hot water in the morning. Using the daytime override did produce hot water but even if left a long while there was never enough for a full shower (even a fairly quick one).Those issues aside it was a great place to stay and we really enjoyed our time there."
