Stylish hotel, beautiful location.
Pros:

Great location, stylish deco design, helpful staff. Decent restaurant, nice breakfast.

Cons:

We stayed in a suite room. The main bed was very comfortable but the sofa bed that one member of our party slept on needs rethinking as it has a definite central fold and was not comfortable to sleep on. More sofa than bed.

Hotel was ok, staff were pleasant, but payments system is BAD
Cons:

The hotel disputed my payment receipt via booking.com and charged me again for the same room. So I have now made 2 x payments. I have sent them an email to get a refund but had had no reply as yet and their phone goes to voicemail constantly.

When I was waiting for my room to be ready another couple checking in had exactly the same issue so Haweswater hotel and booking.com obvious have a. Communication issue with payments.

An art Deco gem with a stunning view.
Pros:

What a location! It's as if you have your own private lake outside the window as the road in is a dead end and there's very little traffic.

The Ar Deco vibe is well maintained and the staff are enthusiastic and helpful,

Dinner was a delight - a well curated menu executed perfectly.

Cons:

It's not the hotel's fault (30C outside!) but a fan would have made our suite even nicer.

Great for one or two nights.
Pros:

Beautiful decor. Nice laid-back feel. Friendly accommodating staff. Beautiful views. Excellent food.

Cons:

I got a discount which made it good value for money but I would find the full price (B&B) a bit high. But accommodation prices are up all over Europe.

Send in the bulldozers and sack all the staff!
Pros:

The location!

Cons:

The lousy service, the poor quality overpriced food and the attitude of the staff/management. Very expensive for a rubbish bit of very shabby service. We will never stay there again! The room was offered with a "View of the inner courtyard" this place does not have a courtyard of any description. It takes "SHABBY CHIC" to extremes and really is simply just SHABBY!

I wouldn’t stay again nor would I recommend it to anyone.
Pros:

The property itself could be fantastic with the right owners willing to put some money into it. It’s in a remote but lovely location with abundance of beautiful walks and the views are amazing.

Cons:

It was not clean! The term Art Deco is a cover up for how run down & shabby it actually is.
The amount of cobwebs in our room was unbelievable and everything was in a poor state. Paper thin walls we could hear the staff every morning preparing breakfasts & clattering pans. (Luckily we are early risers)
Dining tables and floors were sticky. The sofas in the lounge area were filthy and stained. Mop bucket on view in reception area is not good!
Not enough staff but the 2 female staff that were working during our visit were lovely, but the 1 male staff member that we saw in the dining room was dressed in joggers and a T shirt which wasn’t a good look.
Food in the evening was very over priced for the quality. Breakfast - a good selection but again quality of most of it was poor.
Outside needs lots of TLC as this could be a lovely setting. Seating was not fit to sit on unless you were wearing your walking attire.

Pros:

Lovely hotel in a scenic setting. Great food, and comfortable clean environment.

Cons:

Unfortunately on this particular visit (unlike our previous visit) we were disturbed several times very late at night and early morning by staff talking, smoking, swearing, directly under our bedroom window, which we had opened due to the warm weather.

Herrlicher Ausblick über den Stausee
Pros:

Ein wunderbares Hotel mit sehr guter Küche! Das Personal ist super freundlich und der Blick vom Balkon ist wirklich einmalig. Das Hotel liegt in einer Sackgasse, am Ende der Straße ist ein kostenfreier Parkplatz, von dem herrliche Wanderwege ausgehen.

Cons:

Alles tipitopi!
