Top Waterhead Hotel Reviews

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous position within Grasmere with excellent access to walks, facilities, cafes etc. Lots of choice for breakfast and main hot course cooked fresh to order. Staff particularly friendly and welcoming."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Room was spotless and spacious. Large group in at breakfast time but staff coped very well. No towels in Spa so had to get some from room. Parking is overpriced considering room costs, only negative for us. Have been a few times now, and will return."

The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It wouldn't really be right to single out just one aspect of this hotel as being superb. The truth is that every feature you would want to be top quality in an outstanding hotel was exactly that during our stay! Friendly, helpful and polite staff made for a relaxing stay. The breakfasts were very special; tasty food matched by the superb views!"

Aphrodites Group

10/10 Excellent

"In easy reach of Bowness, lovely private location, ample free parking. Rooms very clean and great in room facilities. Just think room service breakfast could have ended a little later especially if paid for a late check out"

"Great location. Our room was on the top (2nd) floor so beware if you have heavy cases"
