Top Skelwith Force Hotel Reviews

Waterhead Rooms & Suites

6/10 Okay

"The room we stayed in over last weekend (hot weather weekend) we could not have the windows open because it had a wasp nest directly above the window in the guttering, I enformed them they told me what they had done and they were going to they kept me informed of every step which was fine With the weather being so hot it the room was a little unbearable at times during the night I know wasps do not come out at night, but they do early morning"

The Daffodil Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful hotel in a perfect location in Grasmere away from the more crowded areas of the south Lake District. The hotel is clean and well-maintained with helpful staff and a very welcome health spa with jetted pool, sauna and steam room. The location on a beautiful lake opposite the historic William Wordsworth Dove Cottage really could not be more ideal. A five star experience: we extended our stay due to the excellence of the hotel and it's ideal location."

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"We were checked in to a small but perfectly formed double with a spacious ensuite. The room was pristine with lovely original features and sash windows, great to leave open during the hot bank holiday. Breakfast was plentiful with lovely options, full English, smoked salmon, scrambled egg, eggs benediction a really wonderful choice."

Wateredge Inn- The Inn Collection group

6/10 Okay

"Third year staying here and what a different experience. Whether this was due to it being a bank holiday or not some things could have been better. On arrival not the usual warm welcome told we couldn’t book a table for food that night as not taking reservations, went outside and managed to book online!!!! Took 30 minutes queuing to check in and both nights took 25 minutes to queue for a drink and to order food at the bar. Ran out of beers second night and burgers on first night, considering we were told it’s like this all the time during holidays then you would expect enough stock to be ordered. The bar staff and those clearing the area worked really hard, credit to them. The breakfast system needs some thinking as you are constantly asked what room number you are when going up for the buffet and where the toaster is located blocks the way to the tables causing people to bump into one another. No fans in the room so had to open windows which not good being on a busy main road. Will seriously consider whether we would rebook again during the holiday season."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

4/10 Poor

"Very old fashioned room desperately in need of a refurbishment and a deep clean. Would suit a couple in their 80’s as that was the decor. Breakfast was nice, but when my wife ordered poached eggs on toast she got 1 egg on 1/2 piece of toast, was pretty funny as it looked sad on the plate. Staff were lovely"

The Waterhead Inn - The Inn Collection group

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Waterhead Inn was even better than expected. The area was perfect - lovely and peaceful (despite it being the bank holiday weekend) but right on the lake, situated just a few meters away from where you can get the boat into Bowness, with 4 or 5 gorgeous beer gardens right on your doorstep. The staff were all so lovely, breakfast was delicious and the room was extremely spacious with huge, comfy beds! Will definitely be returning to this hotel for another relaxing break soon."
