Character Cottage with fabulous mountain views in the North Lakes District

The New Inn 1730

Appleby-in-Westmorland

"Our stay at the New Inn 1730 was only overnight, and we arrived around 6pm on a Sunday evening. This is a welcoming & friendly pub, with restaurant and accommodation. The owner did his best to accommodate our needs during our short stay, and is still finding his feet a little having only recently taken on the business. Food options were limited when we arrived, particularly for our two fussy children, so we did eat elsewhere that night, but the cooked breakfast in the morning was very good,...

Top Cumbria Hotel Reviews

Lakeside Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Well decorated, comfortable room. Good amenities tray. Ensuite bathroom was large and clean. Everything cleaned, tidied and replenished by housekeeping to high standard. Amiable, professional staff. All smart in appearance. Breakfast was excellent with good selection of cereals, pastries, fruits, yoghurt etc and a choice of foods cooked to order. Somewhat limited choice of food in Brasserie, eg only one steak, quality and presentation not as expected for price. Lunch menu - outside terrace and conservatory- unfortunately also expensive, eg £36 for Ploughman's to share, for both the quantity and quality delivered. Beautiful location, convenient for exploring the Lakes by car, boat and steam train."

North Lakes Hotel And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I had the superior family room, which is fantastic. It is spacious, clean and includes a ‘living space’ with dresser, shelving, fridge, coffee facilities, table and sofa. I always feel so comfortable and at home here. Management team are friendly and always have time to say hello and make me feel welcome. Staff go out their way to make sure my stay meets my expectations, plus more. I sometimes need to stay longer than expected, and they are very accommodating to do their best to keep me in the same room, minimising any troubles to myself, even if at last minute. If it is possible, they always try their best. Even when busy. I appreciate this effort so much as it ensures my holiday is as relaxing as possible. Housekeeping are more than happy to provide whatever you may need, and offer to service the room, however, there is very little needed as the room is always equipped with plenty towels, coffee facilities etc. I am happy to maintain room myself, asking for any extras if ever required. They couldn’t be more helpful. Spa and gym are exactly whats required. Spacious, clean, towels and robes are provided. Treatments are available on request at extra cost. Definitely worth a try. Although these can be booked up pretty quickly. I’d advise booking a day in advance for treatments. I tend not to take breakfast, I don’t personally like the set up nor find it good value for money. This will depend on individual preference, ofcourse."

The Daffodil Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was disappointing that the hydrotherapy pool was closed for maintenance/repairs for part of our stay. The staff were friendly but our safe was locked for our entire stay and they were unable to unlock it for us. There were a number of niggles which we wouldn’t have expected from a hotel at this star rating, such as the leaking sink, basic toiletries and lumpy pillows. The cooked breakfast was not available at the beginning of breakfast service despite booking the 7.30 time slot. However, great location, comfortable bed and excellent food."

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels

8/10 Good

"We stayed in the Lodge 1, it was aesthetically really beautiful! The only downside is you can hear EVERYTHING from next door, which wasn’t too bad for us because it was just TV but I can imagine if you had a rowdy next door neighbour in the lodge you’d be extremely disappointed. The Spa was beautiful and intimate it is a great escape for a couple… However, two elements of the shower didn’t work, the hydropool could use a bit of maintenance and a little bit of atmospheric music would be great (there is speakers). Besides this, it’s picturesque and relaxing facility. Breakfast here is AMAZING like 10/10 the best hotel breakfast I’ve had. You have both a continental breakfast, and you have a made to order menu. I ordered the eggs florentine and my partner ordered the porridge, both were great. This a hotel I’d definitely come back to and recommend for couples or friends looking for a relaxing getaway in the lakes :)."
