Haweswater Hotel, Bampton, Cumbria

Nice remote beautiful quiet location, friendly staff, ideal for walking and enjoying the beautiful surrounding countryide. The restuarant was fabulous but a bit expensive.

The price shown on the internet and on our booking confirmation was incorrect it should have been higher for a bank holiday weekend but after a couple of conversations this was finally sorted.

Overall: The hotel is fantastic at the moment but I'm not convinced the refurbishment will be for the good of the hotel. Its remote location attracts nature lovers and walkers alike but the refurbishment is aimed at higher prices and less facilities for walkers ie no drying facilities in hotel or in the rooms.  (107771905)

The staff were excellent - friendly and professional. The food was exquisite. The view - spectacular. We had a fabulous stay and will definitely come again.

The shared bathroom is rather basic. A shower facility would improve matters enormously.

Overall: A wonderful, peaceful place to stay. The setting is perfect, and the staff are there to ensure you have everything you need.  (108534644)

The hotel is in an excellent and picturesque position. The breakfasts were as good as any we have had anywhere.

The hotel was undergoing refurbishment so there was no evening meal available and there was no television in the room

Overall: It was a convenient stopping off point for a journey to Scotland.  (107332856)

Lovely views from all rooms. Very good food in the restaurant and excellent service.

No parking for my disabled husband, perhaps because of builders' vehicles. It was unfortunate that extensive internal building works were underway during our visit. It would have been good to have had a television in the room, but perhaps this was not possible because of the location and problems with reception.

Overall: It was a beautiful location and the staff were very helpful. The lack of facilities in the room detracted from the experience, particularly in view of the cost.  (107506063)

wonderful location far from the busy tourist part of lake disctrict easy to spot lots of red squirrels

far from other restaurant, the restaurant of the hotel is very expensive (24£ foe 2 corses) and not particularry good. The shared bathroom does not contain soap or towel and does not have shower, only old (but big) baths. The bedroom was noisy dring the night

Overall: Althought there were some bad point I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel.  (107301188)
