Just returned today from a night at the Armathwaite hall hotel and had the best experience ever. The staff are an absolute asset as each and everyone go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. Special thanks to Lucas for his attention to detail and his warm welcome, such a professional. The spa experience was amazing and we would both recommend the hot stone massage. Hopefully see you again soon. Many Thanks Julie and Keith Thresh

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to write your review – feedback is very important to us. I was delighted to read that Lukasz and the team were so helpful throughout your stay and will be sure to pass on your kind words. Hot stones....? Maybe I will try that one with an air of slight trepidation - glad you enjoyed it..! We hope to welcome you back to Armathwaite soon. Kind regards, Simon

Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa, is an absolute `Gem` of a place. It is everything you expect from a High Class Hotel & Spa. The Afternoon Tea was a Christmas Present and it was everything you would expect from Armathwaite and MORE ! The Sandwiches where freshly made, the Sausage Rolls hot, but not too hot. The Cakes were to `die for`all served with freshly brewed `Leaf` Tea, or Prosecco. It was a feast of pure- delight and worth every penny. We will definitely be returning and I would recommend the Afternoon Tea in a Heart-beat.

I bought a Serenity Spa Day for my husband's birthday and to recover from the Fred Whitton. From the moment we arrived at reception to leaving we were treated to a five star experience. The staff were delightful and couldn't do enough for us, the facilities are brilliant and the lunch was superb. We had two treatments involving a massage and we both agreed they were the best massages we've ever had - deep and very effective. Respect to the therapists! Our lunch was a little late coming so we were given a complimentary glass of prosecco in the outdoor jacuzzi, and a refund. We were so impressed. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Dear Guest, I was pleased to read you enjoyed your day. With two restaurants and lounges boasting the very best of local produce we do feel there is a good variety for our guests to enjoy. I have to say that our Cocktail Bar has to be one of the best hotel bars in the country, not that I am biased at all (… but it is). We look forward to welcoming you back. Kind regards, Simon

Incredibly beautiful place to indulge and enjoy the scenery around Bassenthwaite Lake. Our tastefully decorated suite was luxurious and peaceful, as was the rest of the hotel. Food, quality of service, and the spa is delivered to perfection. We will definitely be back to visit

This is a quintessential English hall - like being in Downton Abbey ! Solid old building , wooden staircases, floorboards and beams , huge windows , fireplaces , thick carpets, grandfather clocks, expansive well manicured grounds and even a resident cat and dog ! Staff are excellent and as accommodating as possible - we found Fiona, Graham , Anusha , Gautam, Elena and Viktor (?- the very charming Polish restaurant manager ) so helpful, friendly and warm. Food at the main dining hall is very good… solid breakfasts. Dinner is included in the room rate ( £50 per person ) and I think the fish ( of the fish and chips item ) is one of the best I have ever had . The steak is excellent too. The high tea is a must as the sandwiches and cakes are so good. Have it with a Pimms too. The only disappointing aspect was the room - not much thought given to making it comfortable, soap comes in small tubes , pillows too soft and almost flat .. cleaning standard is not up to par for a hotel of this rating. May consider returning if the rooms are better furnished - even modernised a bit?…

we used the spa facilities for the day & had booked massages. the staff were friendly & welcoming from the start, and the selection of pools & steam rooms etc. was brilliant. very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. massages were equally great, with wonderful therapists. we took the 55m ‘work it out’ massages, which were followed by a snack & drink in a calm room. we also ate lunch in the brasserie, and Ronnie was particularly attentive and passionate. he really made my birthday meal a special one! lots of choice & the chef has real skill.
