The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A stunning hotel, beautiful room and helpful staff. Due to the storm we decided to eat in. Would be nice to see a more extensive menu as the quality was good for this size of hotel."

Castle Green Hotel In Kendal, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"Warm welcome and amazing, helpful staff team. Lovely clean rooms and great water pressure. Buffet style cooked breakfast was only thing that was not 100% ... one day it was all pretty dried under the lights, although the next stay it was much busier and breakfast was fresher as turnaround of stock was faster. We ate one night in the restaurant and the food was good but a little pricy, although expected for a hotel restaurant. We would definitely stay again if in the area."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The location was great, and the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were clean, and the beds were very comfortable. However, the hotel’s email and advertisement stated that a restaurant and room service were available for ordering food. One evening, we tried to eat at the restaurant but were told that it was unavailable because they were busy catering for a large group. We also tried to order room service, but were told that they were too busy to take our order. Thankfully, there were plenty of places to eat around town, so we were able to go out for dinner instead. Apart from this disappointment with the food service, everything else was great, and we had a lovely stay."

Woodlands Guest House Windermere

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely cosy B&B which was more like a mini-hotel. Friendly staff, well located and excellent freshly cooked breakfast. Would happily stay again."

Abbey House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot recommend this hotel more. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. The team are friendly, so helpful, professional and efficient. If you are in the Barrow area and need accommodation this is the only place you should stay. Thank you team, you were all amazing. 6 stars if I could."

Netherwood Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Stay with Hendrix! What an incredible hotel experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The hotel was spotless, comfortable, and had a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel at home straight away."

Whitewater Spa & Leisure Club

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely hotel with attached leisure facilities. A beautiful, peaceful setting next to a river. A former mill with an interesting history and a motor museum within easy walking distance. Room was spacious and clean and staff were very helpful and friendly. Both breakfast and evening meal were very good. Restaurant and bar staff were very attentive. We went in the pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, all a very high standard. An excellent stay in an idyllic setting. Would highly recommend this hotel"
