Top Buttermere Lake Hotel Reviews

Mary Mount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Very picturesque area. Lots of places to explore and ramble. Sofia at front desk was wonderful. Breakfast was amazing. Highly recommend."

Glaramara Hotel

8/10 Good

"Absolutely stunning location which is why I chose this hotel, mountain views, walks from the hotel, close enough to Keswick, and a good open top bus service from Seatoller. Very good breakfast, well organised and friendly staff. Extremely comfortable bed, I had a single room which was enough (only issue I had was no hairdryer,). It was peaceful in"

Mill House - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Mill House is a perfect property to enjoy some relaxing family time, there is everything you need and we all loved playing pool in the evenings. There are lots of walks from the doorstep, even Keswick is only a couple of miles down a trail and there are lots of buses. We didn’t use the car for the whole time we were there. Hopefully we will be back again soon."

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

10/10 Excellent

"This cottage is perfect for my neice and I and the dog. It is in a great location within easy reach of Keswick and walks from the doorstep."

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! ❤️"

Brandlehow - a house that sleeps 7 guests in 4 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful location! Been coming to the lakes since I was a boy so took my family of seven and it surpassed our expectations - right on the lake and perfect location for lots of activities around the north lakes / Keswick area, including a circular walk up Cat Bells right from your door!Look past some tiredness of the house itself (this should be expected of old houses in these locations but is still done lovely in my opinion) and be aware footpath in front of house gets busy as it's part of Derwent water circular walk - this is a great place to stay if want to experience the lakes. Will be booking again"

Hermiston Guest House

"The very best stay Ive had in the whole of the UK Phill was wonderful and extremely helpful and kind. I Couldn't recommend the place more."

"A couple of things- the fridge isn't working very well- I appreciate it was very hot last week but it was difficult to get the fridge to the correct temperature. The refuse and recycling bins were not collected whilst we were there and had not been collected the previous week either as they were very full"
