We had a lovely break here, the staff were friendly but not intrusive and the restaurant/bar staff were spot on. The room was very clean and relaxing, my only gripe was that the bed was essentially 2 pushed together and you could really feel the join....which meant you migrated to separate ends of the bed, not ideal on a romantic...

We liked this hotel, it feels like a treat and is clean and comfortable, with an attractive conservatory and lounge to sit in and read or have a glass of wine/coffee. Our room was next to the pool and this was ok (the pool is small and there isn't constant traffic of people going past the room to get there).... More

We had a lovely break in Windermere staying at the Hillthwaite on a mid-week break. The food was excellent throughout and we enjoyed marvellous views over the Lake while we dined. Only a very small bar which was rather crowded and cramped pre dinner drinks. Very clean, and a decent enough swimming pool for a small hotel. We stayed in... More

We returned yesterday from a perfect 2 night stay at Hillthwaite House. We had stayed in the area before but our previous hotel appeared to have gone down-hill, plus we needed a hotel that had secure storage for my husband's mountain bike. We stayed on the 2 night DBB package (summer sizzler) and it was amazing. We purposefully booked room... More

Picking a hotel at random can be a lottery. I am pleased to announce that with Hillthwaite House I chose the right numbers. Hillthwaite is not pretentious and does not try to be any more than it is. What do you expect from an hotel? Peace and quiet..yes. Smiling and very helpful staff...yes. Good accommodation...yes. Good food....yes. Somewhere to relax...yes.... More

This hotel provides a perfect location from which to base yourself before you go exploring the beauty of The Lake District. From the moment we arrived we received a warm and friendly greeting from reception and this continued no matter which staff we came across. We were in Room 15 which had recently been refurbished to an extremely high standard... More

This Hotel is well situated between Windermere and Bowness and is only a few minutes walk from Bowness town centre. It is dog friendly (our yorkshire terrier millie loved it) the only gripe we had, she was only allowed in the conservatory and our bedroom, but feel she could have been allowed in the bar lounge.

We booked to stay here for my girlfriends birthday and what a great idea this turned out to be. Upon arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff who explained all we could need to know about our stay before showing us to our room. We had a house double (room 18) and have to say it was a great... More

I don't normally write reviews and do this type of thing but seeing some of the extremely petty and unnecessary things I'd seen written about this fantastic hotel, I felt obliged to write a review. I checked in on the 7th (of this month) for a 2 night stay. I'd got a deal and booked a Superior room with Lake... More
