A beautiful, peaceful place with friendly staff, spotless accommodation, and great facilities.
Pros:

After a long drive from Kent, we finally arrived at The Ullswater at Whitbarrow Village around 7:30 p.m. — much later than planned. Despite our late arrival, check-in was easy and welcoming. The lovely lady at reception greeted us warmly, provided a map of the village, explained the facilities, and gave us a QR code to book activities, which was really helpful. It immediately set the tone for the rest of our stay.

From the moment we arrived, we noticed how beautifully maintained and well-presented the grounds were. Everything felt spotless, tidy, and cared for, with lovely landscaping and a peaceful atmosphere. The site has a calm, village-like feel, with a mixture of private residences and guest accommodation, which makes it feel relaxed, safe, and homely. Even though there was some maintenance work happening nearby, it was incredibly quiet — a real testament to how well-managed the property is.

The staff were genuinely warm, approachable, and attentive throughout our stay. Our first-floor apartment was spacious, bright, and modern, with thoughtful touches and a real sense of comfort. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed for a self-catering break, including a hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, and dishwasher. The living space was comfortable and stylish, with plenty of natural light and a glass dining table that didn’t make the room feel cramped.

A highlight was the balcony, which overlooked open fields where sheep and ducks often wandered — a lovely view to enjoy with a morning coffee. The bathroom was large and spotless, with dual sinks, strong water pressure, and consistently hot water.

The facilities are excellent, including a heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub, and even a cinema room with Netflix and Disney+. The attention to detail throughout the property really stood out — everything felt inviting, relaxing, and well cared for. It’s the perfect place to unwind.

Cons:

The sign from the main road wasn’t illuminated, so it was a little easy to miss when arriving after dark. Reception closed early on two evenings due to staffing shortages, which meant we couldn’t make use of the bar or restaurant, but they did let us know by text. Neither issue affected how much we enjoyed our stay.

Very good as usual.
Pros:

It’s well set for a self catering break. We also like the peace and the spa facilities.

Cons:

It would be good to have an upgraded TV, so we can use our fire stick. Also so its a better quality too.
For me personally, i’d love it if they brought the putting greens back.

Beautiful setting
Pros:

Beautiful setting. Lovely accomodation. The pool looked ok, but unfortunately, I caught a cold, so I didn't use it.

Cons:

The lighting in the room was poor. Not enough to read by or knit. The double bed is now a bit small. Most folks have larger beds nowadays.
