The hotel was beautiful and all the wonderful festive decorations made it feel very special.
Bar staff were wonderful. I loved sipping my gin by the warm crackling fire place.
The breakfast room was wonderful with lovely views of the snowy mountain tops. Great selection available for breakfast. My Eggs Royal were lovely, thank you for our amazing stay! We were well looked after. Mrs & Mr I. A. Gallaghers x
Excellent location. The decor was lovely throughout the hotel. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Views were great from lounges and dining rooms. Pool although small was a pleasant bonus.
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.
The hotel is gorgeous the views are stunning easy outside parking. The breakfast was lovely wide variety on menu. The staff are very professional efficient and welcoming nothing is too much trouble.
I stayed for a couple of nights here and I'd definitely stay again. Staff were friendly, room was clean, lovely views, plenty of variety for breakfast and situated ideally between Bowness and Windermere.
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!
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.
