1. The New Inn 1730

Appleby-in-Westmorland

"Our stay at the New Inn 1730 was only overnight, and we arrived around 6pm on a Sunday evening. This is a welcoming & friendly pub, with restaurant and accommodation. The owner did his best to accommodate our needs during our short stay, and is still finding his feet a little having only recently taken on the business. Food options were limited when we arrived, particularly for our two fussy children, so we did eat elsewhere that night, but the cooked breakfast in the morning was very good,...

5. Nutkin Cottage

Windermere

"This is a lovely cottage and the location is great. We had a fantastic stay in Windermere. However, be aware that the street parking is only for an hour and so a paid carpark is needed, not free parking as advertised. I messaged Sykes Cottages about this issue twice and received no response so communication was unfortunately a problem. The cottage was also in the process of being cleaned when we arrived, despite this being after the check-in time."

Top Cumbria Hotel Reviews

Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for our mini-moon, it was perfection from start to finish. They upgraded our room to a hot tub suite which was stunning. All the amenities were beautiful and the spa was very special Would highly recommend"

Shap Wells Hotel

8/10 Good

"I loved this old hotel for is quirky charm and character. Wasn't so keen on the six spiders living in the corners of our bedroom! There was no phone in the room, as advertised in the welcome page, so we had to go down to ask for things but the staff were so friendly and helpful. Would def stay again. Lovely and quiet and very spacious room with a great view. Would def benefit from a fan as it was roasting in our room. Breakfast was lovely and the whole stay was very good value for money."

Lakeside Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Cannot fault this place, must be one of the best places to stay in the lake district. Plenty of parking, it's spotlessly clean, brilliant location on the bank of Windermere. Plenty to do with boats trips, the lake aquarium and steam railway there. The team there are fantastic, friendly and really helpful, I'd definitely go again."

The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying at The Belsfield and we had a wonderful stay. Beautiful hotel, lovely staff in all areas, very attentive and Joy was an absolute joy, she was very helpful in the dining room as my partner is a coeliac. We had dinner in the evening and food was lovely, very delicious.......fantastic location too for all amenities. Definitely our go to hotel now for future visits to Bowness."
