Lovely situation. Comfortable bed. Excellent food. Great service.

Julia, United Kingdom

Great hotel, run by friendly and professional staff who also take the time to chat with you. Delicious food and a great range of wines and spirits. We only went for a "basic" room but it was lovely - comfy bed, TV, wifi access, walk in shower etc. The backdrop of the Borrowdale valley makes this a tremendous place that offers good value with the dinner, bed and breakfast package. We loved it and would definitely return.

Thetravellingcat, United Kingdom

we liked all that this hotel had to offer- the staff are soo friendly and attentive. the meals are beautiful tasting and well presented. the hotel is set in beautiful countryside with neat garden surroundings and views that are breath taking. Can certainly say that this is a gem of a hotel which is hidden for you to explore. will certainly return and very soon.

“Leathes Head Hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Dinner main course: quantity of meat/ fish is small and has very little or no carbohydrates. Local beers are bottled rather than on tap.
눇Location - elegant 1908 house set in beautiful grounds with a very attractive area to sit and view a good range of wildlife. The house gives excellent access to some of the best walks in Borrowdale and Derwent Water. Service - very good, friendly team. Food - the good menu with a special each day is ideal for a stay of a few days but rather limited for a stay of a week or more. The food is imaginative and well presented. Dinner begins with a light amuse bouche followed by an excellent starter, then a sorbet; the main course is good although the quantity of meat/ fish is small and the course has very little or no carbohydrates. The dessert/ cheese course is excellent. The overall quantity is ideal for less energetic visitors but those who are more active may find it wanting. The excellent wine list is extensive although the local beers are bottled rather than on tap. Breakfast is excellent with a wide choice. Room - lovely views, comfortable, adequate size, good cupboard space and work table; excellent bathroom and shower. Public areas - comfortable, attractively furnished looking out over the surrounding country.
