Top Grizedale Forest Hotel Reviews

Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay, the spa is lovely, the customer service is excellent."

The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 2 nd stay at The Belsfield.The location is fantastic! We stayed in the tower room which had fantastic views over the lake.The room was comfortable and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. Fantastic buffet breakfast. There was a charge for parking which was a little disappointing."

The Ro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, spacious & very comfortable room. Breakfast was ok. Had to pay for an extra person (total 2 people in a king room). Had to pay for parking in their own lot, which seems a bit excessive. Our room had great views of the lake."

The Hive at Poppi Red

10/10 Excellent

"A very reasonably priced room with a good choice of included breakfast. I will be recommending this place to my friends."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The location of the hotel is excellent with stunning views. Hotel needs a little bit of work here and there. Cleanliness is acceptable. Staff friendly."

Windermere Manor Hotel

8/10 Good

"A Grand Old Lady in beautiful grounds. Scrupulously clean. Staff were kind considerate and very helpful. Our accessible room in the cottages was a 2 minute walk from the main hotel up a long and very steep incline, but you can drive to the front of the hotel if you have limited mobility. There is a reserved parking space right outside the cottages which is very useful. Room was very spacious with easy access up a ramp into the cottage for a permanent wheelchair user. Good accessible wetroom with a roll under sink and a shower chair - just to note for para/tetra guests this is not usable if you cannot easily transfer or have no mobility as the arms are not removable. There is a small kitchenette that includes a microwave and fridge plus a kettle and coffee machine. Coffee pods, teabags and milks were plentiful. Pool is great and was lovely and clean, but here is no hoist for disabled guests. Breakfast was a hot and cold buffet. There is no room service but the staff are very happy to help you with a takeaway breakfast. This is delightful to eat on the cottage patio. The restaurant was a little disappointing, we expected something a bit more upmarket for the style of the hotel. No table service, you have to order all food and drinks from the bar and the menu is limited basic fayre. Though the menu changes daily. Not enough selection for drinks at the bar. Only nonalcoholic choices were 1 lager and 1 stout. They had nonalcoholic wine on the menu, but it wasn't available."

Bluebird Lodge and Waterhead Apartment

8/10 Good

"Clean and large apartment if a little worn."

The Coniston Inn - The Inn Collection Group

8/10 Good

"Great location and friendly staff. Some of the decor could do with updating and the shower was unusually complex to use. Overall, a lovely place to stay, and I would recommend."

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel , food in restaurant exceptional, staff very helpful, amazing views !! Dont think they should charge for parking though! Otherwise a lovely place to stay ."
