Top Elterwater Hotel Reviews

Riverside Hotel

Riverside Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is in a great location. It’s fairly central (not far from the railway station and shops/eateries). If you’re travelling by car, there is a free, covered car park (a bit of a tight squeeze for larger cars). I would say the hotel is fairly accessible. Our room was on the lower ground floor (there was a stair lift) and was large with a great view of the river. There was an over bath shower in the good sized bathroom. I didn’t notice air conditioning but we weren’t staying in hot weather and didn’t need it. We ate from the buffet breakfast on both mornings and there were plenty of good quality items. The filter coffee was good. All the staff we encountered were cheerful, polite and helpful."

Shap Wells Hotel

Shap Wells Hotel

8/10 Good
"Reasonable rate for a short stay. Room was clean and well maintained but unbearably warm even whilst leaving a window open. This was just after a warm spell although it was cool outside at the time of our visit. Double bed was a little small if used to a king size and a little soft/uncomfortable. Breakfast was ok and restocked regularly. Grounds are nice with red squirrels in the adjacent woodland. One of the driveways (from the Orton side) was very poorly maintained with a lot of deep potholes so we didn't risk that in the dark. Staff all friendly and helpful."

8/10 Good
"A nice hotel with friendly dining room staff. The room/bathroom were a little bit tired but the bed and pillows were comfortable. The grout and tiles need a refresh. Steam from a short, hot shower triggered the fire alarm and we were met with a fierce member of reception telling us, ‘you have triggered my fire alarm’…by using the shower! Food was much better than expected at dinner. Breakfast was ok with plenty of choice. £10 per night to park. Well located. We didn’t use the spa but hot tub, sauna etc looked ok too. We would defo use again if we got a good deal."

Keswick Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Brilliant location and spotless room and main areas. The rooms are slightly dated and the hotel could use some TLC on the walls and ceilings in some locations. The bar was great as was the breakfast but we didn't use the restaurant. The grounds are extensive and lovely to see the bunnies hopping round. The location is also top notch and we will return next time we visit Keswick."
