Location, food and staff
The scenery was beautiful
No air con
Small rooms .
Awkward angle to drive into
This was my second time staying here and I absolutely love it! Location is fabulous, the terrace is perfect for an evening drink. The staff work so hard and are very attentive. Food and drinks lovely.
Sauna could be hotter and the mattress dipped on both sides so likely needs replacing.
It was light and airy , plenty of space .
Excellent coffee and tea very high standard. Water which was change every day. Beautiful view very quiet .
The only thing I thought was it could have done with some blinds on bathroom and main bedroom windows , not very private . We had to keep curtain , blind curtains down which was a shame because of the light . But it most certainly didn’t spoil our stay or holiday .
Breakfast was good and location is not bad.
This hotel was incredibly clean. It is modern and you can clearly see it has been invested in. The rooms have a beautiful crisp decor. The staff were attentive. I particularly observed how the staff were well mannered and caring towards the elderly (with respect), nothing was too big to ask for. The view from the hotel you can just make out the lake from the ground floor.
This hotel is exceptional. To go the extra mile, it would be good to have high quality fans (the current ones are not productive), and a bottle of water stocked in each room, particularly in the summer months. The shower pressure could be improved but I have to be fair, they are located at the top of a hill.
Beautiful hotel in fabulous location
Everything was wonderful
Beautiful and peaceful location, away from the business of the main parts of Windermere. Room was beautifully decorated, comfortable and large bathroom.
The pool was far too shallow to swim in. Though it was a bonus detail to have a pool so not a deal breaker. The vegetation sausages for breakfast were the vegetable ones, would have preferred fake meat (like quorn,etc)
Beautiful lounge areas and rooms. Clean and had parking. Views overlooking the lake are stunning
Rooms were very hot and humid even with windows open and fan on, couldn’t sleep well due to this. There was a sausage roll in the mini fridge when we checked into our room on Friday. So it had not been cleared out properly. Found the breakfast staff a little bit awkward with us
The views… You could have been anywhere such as the alps, fantastic. Very friendly professional staff start to finish.
No lift.
Is a tradition we now come here every summer and is always perfect. We loved it again and see you next year 😀
Nice pool.Excellent choice of breakfast and lovely staff.Lovely surroundings.
Quite a steep hill upto hotel as we didnt go in car but that cant be helped but view made up for it.
We Booked the Superior room at Hillthwaite Hotel for £350 per night. I received a confirmation email and the money was taken. Whilst driving to the hotel on the morning of, we received a phone call from the hotel to confirm there had been a "mix up" and they could offer a less expensive room (the occasion room) and refund us £100. As we were already nearly at lake district we had no option but to agree at the time as this was far too short notice to arrange anything else. However after giving it some thought we later decided to refund the room and cut our losses and drive home after a short day trip.
The occasion room is already £100 cheaper so we are in fact just paying full price for a different room that we didn't want. When I mentioned this to the person who contacted us, the defense was it is still a "very nice room." This is the equivalent of ordering a coffee and receiving a cup of tea and still paying full price. Yes they are both a liquid but why would you pay full price for something you didn't want due to their error?
We booked the Superior room for the amazing view and full length windows. Due to a serious back injury, I haven't been able to leave the house since February, now that I am recovering this trip was supposed to be special, knowing I wouldn't be able to walk much around the neighbouring villages we planned to spend time enjoying the view from the room, and just enjoying some well-earned luxury in a room we booked and paid for. The hotel in fact wasn't really offering anything meaningful to apologise for their mistake. They mentioned they could offer a 2 course free dinner? Offering to refund £100 for the downgraded room is not a good will gesture, when this is already how much the cheaper room cost! Taking 2 days off work, packing a suitcase, driving all the way there only to receive the call when we are 20 minutes away.
