"Visable damp on the bathroom wall by the shower and a very strong smell of damp in the downstairs area including bedrooms. The owner tried to disguise the smell with air fresheners and by leaving the windows open but the smell of damp was still immediately apparent on entry. Had we been staying longer than 2 nights and not arrived so late in the evening on the first night we would have left.

Top Grizedale Forest Hotel Reviews

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"Pro. Clean room. Views. Bar. Staff helpful Cons smelly plumbing in room. Breakfast chaotic when busy. Having to order eggs/porridge and point to your table isn’t great. Coffee is from a machine, awful. Tea from a teabag isn’t great but better than the coffee"

The Coniston Inn - The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous dog-friendly hotel in a great location!"

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and staff could not have been more welcoming especially the people at breakfast"

The Hive at Poppi Red

8/10 Good

"Attic room needs a little TLC, bath taps looked old and velux window was taped in place. A few walls with marks on and the bed not the most comfortable. But nicely decor and very clean. The whole process is very impersonal, an email with a code to use the door and no real interaction with anyone other than staff in the restaurant. We left the room and no one around to ask how everything was etc. Left us feeling a bit cold about all. But it’s a nice enough place and it did the job. We just like the human touch a bit more than you get here."

Merewood Country House

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel..recommended"

The Cedars

10/10 Excellent

"This was a fantastic property in a fantastic location."

Lakes Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. Warm welcome on arrival. Hot tub great. The only thing was the wet dog smell in the compact room. Could do with changing the flooring. The room perfume made it worse! Breakfast good choice, great quality."

Red Lion Inn

8/10 Good

"The Red Lion is perfectly located within the picturesque village of Hawkshead. The pub is a great, friendly place to spend the evening and the fact that they serve food is a bonus if you don't want to go out. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again."

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"We had room 310 it where there are some sort of blowers air con also a fire door is left open and the staff use it come come in and out but the hotel is a great place to stop apart from this"
