Top Skelwith Force Hotel Reviews

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay Great Breakfast."

Windermere Rooms at The Wateredge Inn

8/10 Good

"We were a group and took four rooms; two of the four were without problem, and the other two had issues. Overall, however, the trip was great. We had a couple of nights and spent evenings in the bar; the food was disappointing, late, and cold, but the ambience was buzzing. We ate in Ambleside the night after; can recommend the Indian."

The Temperance Inn, Ambleside. The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly helpful staff. Great beer and ale selections."

The Three Shires Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Another great stay at Three Shires. Although a limited evening menu, food was delicious. Breakfast was the same, maybe put out juices and jams so people can help themselves. Didn’t mind that there wasn’t cereals as the portion of breakfast was huge. Big shout out to the staff"

Lakehouse at The Waterhead Inn

"At the fringes of the town, so it’s quieter. There is no lifts at Lakehouse so please ensure you get the ground floor if you have difficulty climbing stairs, especially with big luggage."
