Nikita, United Kingdom

The staff were all friendly and helpful, the accommodation was very comfortable and the location is idyllic. I would definitely recommend the Whitewater Hotel to family and friends. I certainly hope to return.

Kim, United Kingdom

Restaurant food was excellent. Rooms are stuffy , no aircon and need updating. Room wasn't ready at 2 pm check in time for nearly an hour (along with many others). Walk along river impossible as blocked by housing. Reception staff were pleasant and helpful. Overall a bit overpriced in relation to standard of services.

Gary, United Kingdom

Staff were so friendly and attentive. Beds very comfortable and room spotless. Didn't book any spa treatments in advance but wished we had...spa and leisure facilities looked excellent. Would definitely go back.

Elizabeth, United Kingdom

The hotel was in a lovely location overlooking the river. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. It was great to use the pool at the leisure club for free.

Caroline, United Kingdom

An Inside Look at Whitewater Hotel & Spa

The Whitewater Hotel is the ultimate Lake district retreat featuring the fantastic Cascades Leisure Club & Spa. Situated in the picturesque Lakeland Village, Backbarrow, just one mile south of the world famous Lake Windermere and nearby the Historic market town Ulverston. The hotel building itself is steeped in history; it was formally a Dolly Blue pigment factory making the world famous “Dolly Blue” and was also a Victorian cotton mill. Many artefacts have been preserved and the blue pigment is still evident throughout the building. The hotel today carries a 4 star rating with an award winning AA Rosette restaurant. The 38 luxury en-suite bedrooms nearly all enjoy stunning riverside views. This hotel really is the ideal place to escape from the fast pace of life for a few days and the perfect location to discover the sights and delights of the South Lakes and Cumbria.

“Most disappointing”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Broken bedside lamp with odd shade obviously too small. Went to Dolly blue first and 4 members of staff round bar talking. Got so sick of waiting we left. Went into restaurant ordered small diet coke was brought a pint of normal coke. Refused it and was brought a small glass of normal coke again...I gave up and drank the water. After meal went to upstairs bar. Service very slow asked for vodka and diet coke seemed to be some confusion. Wanted to put vodka in a pint glass then add lots of coke. When my husband refused it and asked for a ladies glass was given what appeared to be a small sherry type glass . At least it was diet coke this time. Needless to say didnt enjoy it . We would have had more however gave up and went to bed. It seemed to us that the bar staff were covering too many other areas as he was going down to restaurant with drinks leaving at least 3 people waiting to be served at the bar. Needed more training on the till and needs to learn how to tend a bar before being let loose on the paying public. This was a birthday treat and if it had been a fifty pound deal on group on would have been ok. However this was not the case. Most disappointing .
눇comfy bed. Excellent food in restaurant. Waiter in blue shirt excellent.

눉The staff are in many cases very young. In fact I was wondering if some were of legal age. The staff are also not as professional as I would expect in a 4 star hotel. The food, whilst properly cooked and nicely presented, is served in tiny portions. I ordered the cod in the Riverside restaurant. When it arrived some of the items listed in this dish on the menu were missing and some items were hard to find including one tiny piece of Chorizo. The dish cost £20 and could be eaten in about 3 or 4 mouthfuls. I complained to the manager and suggested I would pay 50% for this dish. He said he would take £5 off and promptly walked away which I thought was very rude. The buffet breakfast is reasonable but on one morning the bacon was cold and on another the scrambled egg had clearly been made by someone that doesn't know how to do it.
눇The hotel is in a very picturesque location. It has good facilities including a nice health club.
