Top Penrith Hotel Reviews

Haweswater Hotel

Haweswater Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"What a great hotel. It is quite isolated, but is a little gem. Built in the 1930s, it retains many of its original art deco features and has been well maintained and sympathetically furnished for the period. After storms, we had a short power cut and I almost expected to hear a scream from a maid discovering a crime and Hercule Poirot appearing. The food was reasonable, if not sparkling but we did have a powercut in the middle of dinner and they coped admirably. The staff seemed quite inexperienced but were delightful. Lovely position at the side of a lake/reservoir, in the middle of nowhere. Highly recommended"
