This is a beautiful former manor/lodge that you approach up a long driveway and which offers you a view of Lake Windermere. The gardens are lovely and you can hike in the hills above the lodge. The lounge was wonderful with a fire in the evenings or an outside patio when the weather is warm. The food was delicious at the property's restaurant. We had a great room with a door to an outdoor patio and close access to the car. The staff was fantastic. You will need a car to get to the various villages/sites that are within 5-20 minutes away, but that was expected and desired.

Really liked the room, which was quite spacious with a nice view. Even though it was a budget room - it was value for money.

The Holbeck Ghyll Country House Hotel and staff exceeded all our expectations from the moment we arrived. I had booked this hotel for my parents to celebrate a special occasion. They are still raving about the hotel, the incredible view, the beautiful room, the fantastic service, the very attentive staff. They will be telling all their friends back in America about their experience there and cannot wait to return and stay longer. I would like to give a special thanks to the Holbeck Ghyll staff for making this the most amazing hotel stay my parents have had anywhere. They absolutely loved it!
