Pros:

We stayed at the Ryebeck Hotel on Saturday, 25th October, at a cost of £428. The location is lovely, and the public areas are quaint and nicely presented. However, the rooms were quite small. In both rooms, the windows were open and one wouldn’t close properly. The bathroom radiators didn’t work, so it was cold.

We were given two options for breakfast times and chose 9:45 am, not realising the clocks had gone back. When we arrived earlier, we couldn’t be accommodated, and when we returned at the booked time, nothing had been set up for us. Everything therefore took longer than expected — although the food itself was good.

At this price point, guests should have a little more flexibility, especially with breakfast times. The manager needs to be more accommodating — when you’re charging premium rates, the customer experience should reflect that.

A Gem In The Lake District
Pros:

We found this hotel and it’s an absolute gem!

Nestled above Lake Windermere, it has a lovely atmosphere and comfy rooms. We had both dinner and breakfast there and they were both tasty and to a high standard. Staff were friendly and helpful at all times.

We would definitely stay there again
