Top Ullswater Hotel Reviews

Another Place The Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing, very helpful staff. Lots of activities to do, also great for the kids. Can’t wait to revisit 👌"

Pooley Bridge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Just back from a 3 night stay at Pooley Bridge Inn. We booked one of the balcony rooms which overlooks the front of the hotel. This was great for chilling after walks on rainy days. The room itself had everything you could need for your stay, selection of tea, coffee, etc and this was topped up daily as required. There’s a communal fridge for guest use on the landing which was in working order. The room was clean on arrival and daily room cleaning was available if required but we chose not to unless we needed something, you just let them know. The hotel is exceptionally doggy friendly, as long as they are on the floor which is fair enough. Breakfast is plentiful, ranging from continental to full fry up, of varying sizes. I wish I had a bigger appetite cause it was so tasty. Fresh tea and coffee served on request as well. They even have Doggy sausages on the menu for your furry friend. Parking is provided for hotel guests and diners but can be very busy during lunch and dinner services. We never had an issue though. We chose to have dinner (booking advised) in the hotel on 2 nights of our stay. There are ample choices on the menu. Everything we ordered was delicious and very filling. The staff were all very friendly, Tracy, the housekeeping manager, was who we saw the most as she seemed to be there all the time. She fulfilled our minimum requests every time. All staff that we saw worked very hard at all times to keeps guests happy and the hotel pristine."

Swarthbeck House - Howtown, Ullswater

10/10 Excellent

"We were a large family group staying for a long weekend with pets.The house is in a beautiful location with stunning views around and across Ullswater. It is set back from the road, amongst trees so very well hidden and away from other properties. The drive up to the house is very bumpy so take it slowly - red squirrels were out and about near the bend and tumbledown hut which was lovely to see.The house itself is beautiful - very well appointed and comfortable. There was enough space to relax and enjoy company and to share meals in the dining room. There was a welcome pack of goodies in the kitchen when we arrived which was appreciated and was a thoughtful touch by the host - everything you need is provided (except tea towels) within the kitchen - it did get a little cramped though when there were more than 4 people trying to serve or prepare food at a time.All the bedrooms were exceptionally clean and tidy and the beds very comfortable - one drawback when you are a group of adults over 50 were the bunk beds - there are 2 sets of them and are not ideal for use by the older generation. One room with them in was big enough for 2 singles and so would have been better for us but understand that all ages have to be catered for.Heating was easy to use and the property warmed up quickly The short walk to the private beach area is easily accessible and would be a lovely place to sit on warmer evenings enjoying the sunset and a beer.Overall, it was an excellent property."
