Haweswater Hotel  

We had a pleasant surprise as we were upgraded to a suite, the view from the room were amazing both of lake and garden and trees. We are both wild life fanatics and were not disappointed with red squirrels and birds. We dont get away very often but the one night stay made our 17th Wedding anniversary very speacial. Hope we get the opportunity to return.

Only problem was television in room kept going off or to black and white when telly had been on for 20 mins or so.

Everything about my stay was excellent

Nothing

Location spectacular - best in the uk. Isolation fantastic. Food wonderful. Staff lovely- a bit like a nice faulty towers !!

The peace and tranquiity of the area and the magnificent views; very comfortable rooms; great food

Nothing

possition great views ,very laid back.

one or two fittings needed attention bit off a climb to top floor bedrooms you do need to be a bit fit to make it if you stay more than one night

The food was excellent for dinner and breakfast. The red squirrels outside the dining room window at breakfast was absolutely fantastic.

I was too warm in the bedroom but we were able to open the window.

Choice of food and drinks was very good, rooms were well equipped

No welcome information on arrival, nothing given about restaurant times etc, had to pick it up from notices displayed. Had an accident, burnt elbow on excessively hot radiator, no warning signs, when informed reception, reply "you could turn it off" was not really appropriate

Food excellent. Friendly staff. Fantastic views.

Bed uncomfortable. Room tired in need of refurbishment. No tv.

The location. The architecture of the hotel. The view from the room. the peace and quiet.

The bed was old and the springs completely worn out. The food was expensive and mediocre. The room had an intermittent clicking sound above the bed.

Warm , friendly. layed back. lovely room, beautiful views, fabulous bathroom and comfy bed, good food in the evening and breakfast.

The location is excelent for scenery ,nature , views & peaceful

No water on arrival.but back to normal for breakfast time

Beautifull setting, great service and room, red squirells feeding just feet away!

Everything from the location to the food. Anniversary break and it was just what we needed.

Location

A very small bedroom , no extractor fan shower room , no means of turning the radiator of it went from 22 to 40 degrees in a room of 4x3 ,when my wife and I showered together we then found we had no towels which was not very good having to go to reception asking for towels wet through.. No tele in room. Very average food , refused to pay for 1 dessert poor.

Friendly staff, good food and friendly staff. Stunning views and surroundings.

The fact it took an hour to run a hot bath! Sadly as everything else was perfect.

Loved the location, great walking, very romantic. Loved the bar and restaurant, food was delicious. Staff were absolutely awesome, very friendly and helpful.

The room that we stayed in (Swine Crag) needed a bit of a refresh.

friendly staff, barista who won national competition, excellent cook.

The location was just what we were looking for, it was remote and the view of the lake and mountains was stunning. The food in the evening was also of a good standard.

Unfortunately, our stay at Haweswater was very disappointing and we did not even stay to celebrate New Years as planned because we were so upset with how we had been treated. The standard room we were placed in was in very poor conditions. The wallpaper was coming of the walls, there was a big leak coming from the ceiling and there was a very bad smell coming from the bathroom due to humidity and lack of ventilation. When we complained about this, they did upgrade us to a luxury room which was what I would expect a standard room to look like. We were at first offered a discount but then the manager said that because we booked of booking.com that they would be at a loss if they didn't charge us for the full price. For me, this is very upsetting and not how I would like to be treated. We wanted to pay a fair price for what we received. I would not recommend this hotel, even though it is in a great location and very isolated (which we like), the staff are mainly young and inexperienced and they do not make you feel welcome, only uncomfortable.

Remote location and super friendly staff.

no phone signal but I suppose this is a plus.

The whole atmosphere was good and staff and food very good. Will definately stay again

we loved it. despite both having colds... the view from Swindale was just fantastic, especially the morning we woke to snow... and we loved the table in the window for breakfast (gorgeous) with the birds and the red squirrels and the view.. and tea by the roaring fire when we arrived in the pouring rain and howling gale...

can't think of anything!

Always love this location and the deco style building and interior. Good to see the red squirrels again.

Don`t like the new signs - tacky and not in keeping with the style of the bilding.

The period features give it a wonderful old-world atmosphere. The remote location makes for a very peaceful stay. The outstanding memory has to be eating breakfast (delicious) while watching red squirrels enjoying their own food right outside the window.

Only minor issues - some facilities lacking in the room - the only rubbish bin was in the bathroom & very small, no hairdryer, no chairs & a lack of hooks to hang clothes on (really needed when you've been out walking in the rain!)

Loved the views, how secluded we were, the red squirrels at breakfast, the food, atmosphere, the staff, the room

Fabulous, remote location. Only place to stay around reservoir. Art deco / original features. Arrived very early and were welcome to check in Lovely evening meal in restaurant - first class Courteous staff Open fire in bar Would return

Not a dislike - just an observation. Stayed in attic room to get lake view. Decor and bed worn. No fan in windowless shower room and no towel rail. But clean, comfy, warm and great view. Fire lit in dining room in the evening would have been nice
