Damson Dene Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The steam room and jacuzzi weren’t working"

Keswick Country House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Unfortunately we had a very soft mattress I spoke to the receptionist and our room was changed straight away where the bed had a firm mattress. All other aspects of the stay were excellent brilliant setting lovely food and excellent staff. The only small let down is bedroom wallpaper which could do with an upgrade."

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Asked for a ground floor room when i noticed no lifts as my wife has trouble with stairs now. Was given a beautiful ground floor room on same level as bar/restaurant. The room had a massive picture window with unbeatable view of lake. Same view from bar/restaurant which also has outside deck area. The pool area was great but had to tackle several flights of stairs. Breakfast good and had evening meals twice in the restaurant also good. Friendly/helpful staff."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

2/10 Terrible

"Whilst the hotel bills itself as 4* in our view it's living on past glories. Our Delux room had only a velux roof window which could only be opened by standing on a chair so you had a better view of the sky only. At breakfast the only coffee choice was a cafetiere so espresso or latte luxury was not an option. The should rename it a Velux room, definitely not a Delux room"

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa

6/10 Okay

"We were returning customers to Low wood bay @ the winander club. We were slightly disappointed to see that spa access was no longer included in Winander rooms but it is a beautiful spa, so we paid the extra £140. We were disappointed to find out if you wanted to borrow some slippers for the spa, they were also chargeable now. And on check out I was very shocked to see they were also now charging £12 per day to park your car if you hadn’t booked directly with them. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a hotel that has charged you to use their car park, particularly after spending over £1000 on our stay. We left feeling disappointed and will chose to stay at other hotels in the lakes going forward now."
