What an absolute gem of a place

I stayed at the Hillthwaite at the end of my tour of Scotland. The luxury feel was throughout the hotel. The room was small but very comfortable and perfect for my needs. The staff - particularly the dinner and breakfast waiting staff - were amazing. The whole place was very well run. The view from the dinning room was breathtaking too.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was very close to Windermere lake and very central to see the whole of the Lake District, which was my plan. The staff, especially the breakfast staff, were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel doesnt have a lift which was a shame and my room was up 2 flights of stairs which was difficult for me as i have bad knees. Parking was good though the spaces in additional parking are a bit tricky to manoeuvre, but possible. The breakfast was superb, i liked that it is brought to your table so there's limited waste too. You only order what you want. My room was very clean.

Good stay.

Very comfortable stay. We booked a premier room and we were pleased with the room, furnishing and facilities. Our far reaching view of mountains, hills and Windermere Lake were lovely but we did feel rather on show to anyone sitting in the conservatory and the hotel car park. Nets/voiles/blinds would given us the option to dress and undress more privately. The restaurant was good. Great evening meal, pricy for what it was but convenient and good quality. Excellent breakfast and the service from our female waitress both in the evening and again at breakfast was friendly, efficient and pleasant.

Nice hotel but but service is inflexible, often slow and too many rules. Food is average with some portions small. Staff often disorganised and chaotic processes leading to slow and poor service. Could not check even at check in time. Constant staff moaning of being busy or short staffed. Bed very comfortable but issues with shower pressure and drainage. Overall prob not worth the price.

This hotel is perfect for a relaxing easy stay in The Lake District, England. I recommend to everyone. There no lifts but rooms on Ground and 2nd floor are manageable. Third floor rooms have beautiful views. The staff is lovely and the food is delicious!

Probably the best hotel in Windermere

I shouldn’t say to much because the Hillthwaite might put up their prices! Excellent, comes to mind, ten out of ten in all departments, but the big standout was high quality of the staff, I highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed at hotel for 2nights. We were put in a pet friendly room which I specifically emailed about before arrival. As soon as you opened the door you could smell a dog smell in the room (not nice). Spoke with reception advised no rooms of same costing and could move next day. As this was a “late booking” that’s only room they could give us. I checked online for that particular night and both hotels own site and other partner sites showed availability for that day in same room. Moved rooms following day to costing of £10 as chose better room. Beds very comfortable. Room clean and tidy. Does get warm at night even with radiators off. 1 issue no toilet brush in bathroom. Pool was ok, sauna fine not much seating but had it to ourselves. Breakfast - hash brown well over cooked, Cumberland sausage wasn’t like one we’ve had before and was tasteless. The fried egg was VERY fried on one side. Black pudding not great. Would’ve preferred maple syrup in separate jug so you could put own amount on rather than it put on for you, bacon wasn’t great either. Had to ask how breakfast worked as this wasn’t explained. Staff at breakfast time very pleasant and attentive although took wee while to be seated and noticed a lot of tables not cleared when people had left. Aesthetically the hotel is very nice as lounges decorated well. There is a steepish hill to the hotel however good for transport as bus stop at very bottom of main road and you can walk to either village.
