My husband & I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights & we were very impressed. Absolutely lovely, clean & comfortable room and the views were amazing. The hotel is very well appointed throughout. We enjoyed a swim in the mornings before breakfast and it is nice to be able to book a slot and have your own space. The food was lovely and all the staff are so friendly, helpful & make you feel very special. We will definitely visit again, hopefully soon.

We visited the Hillthwaite as a family. This was our first time as a couple and my sisters first time with her partner. However my Mum has visited with Dad lots of times. We have since lost our beloved Dad and bought Mum as a surprise for her 60th birthday celebrations, emotional yet an amazing stay the staff remembered my Mum and Dad’s visits and couldn’t do enough for us!! All so friendly and a lovely family vibe. The bed is the comfiest I have experienced in a hotel. The hotel is located in a brilliant location for bowness and windemere. We will definitely be back! We now know why Mum and Dad raved so much about the place! Thank you all for a lovely weekend see you again soon!! And thank you for all your support with my Mum she was very emotional on arrival it was lovely how kind the staff were x

“Lovely short break at Hillthwaite.”

We had stayed at Hillthwaite some years ago, so when we were looking for a base in the Lake District, we didn't hesitate in booking there.

We had stayed at Hillthwaite some years ago, so when we were looking for a base in the Lake District, we didn't hesitate in booking there. We stayed in a Classic+ room which was roomy, spotless and with an exceptionally comfy bed. It is handily located between Windermere and Bowness, both walkable. Be warned though that there's a brutal hill up to the hotel from the road which necessitates a recovery drink (or two) in one of several lounges. The view from the hotel over Windermere is stunning, and the weather was so good over the 3 days, we were able to sit outside and enjoy the vista. All the staff are friendly and attentive and do everything they can to ensure you have a great stay. However, a special mention has to go to Santa, who was on duty at breakfast on the 3 mornings we were there. I can't eat an egg unless it's fully cooked (I boil my eggs for 15 minutes to guarantee they are completely cooked through). I've tried every way I can to describe how I want my fried egg, from asking for them to be cremated, reassuring the waitress that they can't be overcooked for me to saying 'think hard boiled egg, that's how I want my fried egg'. Day one, it arrived sunny side up! Santa was mortified (she took the order but didn't serve it) and offered to take it back for further cooking. I declined. Day two, it arrived with the yolk still runny. Again, Santa was mortified and offered again to return it. I get eggs served to me 'as the cook thinks they should be cooked' frequently so I no longer bother to return them. Santa again said she had told the cook how I want my egg, and again was mortified that it was runny. Day three - the egg was perfect! So I'm indebted to Santa. She didn't have to work so hard on my behalf to achieve something so simple, yet apparently beyond the skills of the cook. The way she went above and beyond, always with a smile, always pleasant was admirable. She is a credit and an asset to Hillthwaite, and I hope they recognise this. As in all hotels, there are little quirks. Apart from 'eggate' our shower took an age to heat up. No, we didn't mention it, and no, it didn't detract from a brilliant short break. Thanks to you all at Hillthwaite.

We stayed here for 2 nights and from the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. We were shown to our room which was very clean and spacious. Our evening meals were excellent and the staff were very attentive, friendly and professional at their jobs. The view from the hotel was beautiful and captured the Lake District in all its beauty, from the Lake to the surrounding hillside. Breakfast again was lovely and the choice was very good and catered for everyone. The situation of the hotel made it very peaceful which is just what we needed. Would certainly recommend and would stay again if in the area again. Thank you for making our stay very special.
