Haweswater Hotel

Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by a fabulous chef named Nicky. Our room was absolutely gorgeous with a direct and side views of the reservoir. We made reservations in the Brasserie and had one of our best meals while on vacation. The staff and chefs were lovely; attentive, personable, and kind. After chatting with our server, we discovered it was her very first night with the hotel; you would have never known. Hearing I had a food allergy, Nicky even came out to discuss what was in my meal. The hotel is steeped in history that is beautifully represented throughout and the landscape is stunning and peaceful. It felt like we had stepped back in time.

We have no complaints.

Can honestly say the most incredible trip away we've ever had! Without a doubt everything exceeded our expectations. Staff were very warm and welcoming, very friendly, the food was out of this world and the whole experience as a whole was truly unforgettable ❤️ would million percent recommend to everyone and we are already planning our next trip here and we only got home today. The room was perfect size, very clean and warm. The bed was so comfortable and everything was immaculate. Do not have a single bad word or criticism, everything was perfect! Would not have changed a single thing. The breakfast was so yummy could eat it every day! We spent valentines day here and our meal that night was amazing, definitely compliments to the chef. Absolutely adore the fact the staff took their time and actually cared and appreciated us and made us feel so so welcome. Can honestly say the customer service was incredible! And that's a massive thing for me and my husband. We had arrived at night and didn't see the view until the morning, it was the most breathtaking, amazing view we have ever seen in our lives. Hand on my heart I cried My eyes out with happiness when I came downstairs and saw that view its literally right next to the lake oppisite the mountains. Thank you so so much to the staff for making the whole experience as a whole truly amazing.

Can honestly say there was not a single thing we didn't like!

The food at Haweswater Hotel was amazing, they have a very talented Chef. I cannot recommend the food highly enough, we had the best meal we have had for years. What a treat. If you are staying here for the scenery and walks, book a meal, you will be delighted. The staff were all so professional and helpful at all times. It was supposed to be a one night stay and as we were travelling back from Wales to Scotland after a family funeral we did not expect to have such a pleasant and enjoyable night. We will go back and have the 8 course tasting menu and stay longer, what a treat and after a very tiring journey we expected to have a "Faulty Towers Experience " how wrong were we!

+amazing location for hikes + views stunning +great staff + all food - dinner and breakfast amazingly high quality + lovely rooms with views

staff were really friendly and food was of good quality. set in beautiful surroundings -teeming with wildlife and alive with birdsong. A truly peaceful getaway! The room (we stayed in Measand) was comfortable , clean and overlooked the garden and the lake. we had a delicious packed lunch prepared for us by kitchen staff to take with us for our walk which was delicious and excellent value for money!

Nothing.. all was perfect!

Wonderful period hotel, stunning location, startlingly good food, attracts congenial, engaging and interesting co-residents; very clean and comfortable, exceptionally pet-friendly. Location is very likely the best in the Lakes for views, tranquility, wildlife, dark nights, the dawn chorus, and inviting gardens. I could see Jeeves and Wooster being set here, but with all mod cons for a romantic weekend.

Excellent location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely breakfast. The dinner was excellent too. Great location for walkers. You can start a lot of walks from a car park a few minutes from the hotel.

the decor and the staff were all brilliant. and the food was beautiful. the location is remote which is what we were after

the Wi-Fi wasn’t great but it’s to be expected and didn’t bother us. and the food prices were not cheap but you get what you pay for and the food was excellent and worth the price. but we’re just nitpicking as for us it was perfect

The food was exceptional. The service was excellent. The building is beautiful, so well restored and maintained in the Art Deco style. Dinner was an experience in itself, mouth-wateringly delicious food, exciting and beautifully presented.

WiFi didn’t work in the bedroom, we were in an upstairs room.

The hotel has a beautiful situation overlooking Haweswater and our room gave us an uninterrupted view of the lake. It was very quiet and peaceful there. We brought our small dog and she was allowed everywhere except the restaurant. We could see red squirrels on the terrace while we ate breakfast, too, which was a rare treat!

The ambiance is that of a 1930's hotel, which was lovely. We wanted to try and stay in keeping with that era and order cocktails but they weren't available (other than g&t etc). but there was nothing to complain about in the hotel
