Beautiful hotel and location. If you are looking to explore England beyond London, highly recommend the Lakeside Spa and Hotel. Wonderful food, beautiful surroundings and wonderful spa!

The view saved the experience and is the only reason for the two stars. A Caesar salad was 15 which could be considered reasonable but when three slices of chicken and lettuce showed up we were not impressed. Further, although most of the staff were lovely, they clearly lacked experience and when sharing our concerns to a member of staff for the sake of potential future service they just shrugged the statements off. Will be dissuading friends from coming here.

Great stay. Only thing I would say was that there were quite a few flies in our room and some other insects. Apart from that a really lovely place with wonderful, kind and helpful staff.

Brilliant hotel. Grizdale Suite room 11 was spectacular. So much space. Spotlessly clean, well equipped. Full bathroom plus walk-in shower. Could not fault the food. Spa beautiful. My only gripe was we were able to check in at 3 pm room wasn't ready until 4 pm. However 2 complimentary drinks were offered while we waited. Would highly recommend and return in a heartbeat.

We only came for food, but it was delicious. It was a very relaxed afternoon. The staff were happy for us to sit as long as we liked, by the Lakeside. It was perfect for a relaxing lunch. I can fully recommend the salmon and cream cheese sandwich.

Went for afternoon tea with a group of friends. The food was really good with a nice selection of sandwiches and tasty cakes and scones. The staff were friendly and allowed us to borrow the large Peter rabbit from reception to eat with us but struggled slightly with the prewarned allergy requirements. Enjoyable experience and great views down the lake.
