“Very Special Weekend Break”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

I can't express how wonderful the Howbeck hotel is. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the Meregill room, which we could not fault at all. The cleanliness of the hotel is 100%! The breakfast is truly amazing, with a huge selection to choose room. The customer service and friendliness of the employees at the Howbeck is second to none.... More

“Sunday getaway!”

We stayed at the Howbeck Hotel on Sunday 19 May for one night, and were absolutely delighted by our whole experience there. Our room was beautiful, with petals strewn on the bed and free chocs and wine! The room was spotlessly clean, and overlooked the front of the hotel and although there is a main road immendiately outside the hotel,... More

“Lovely weekend away!”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

Just returned back from a weekend away at this lovely little gem! We arrived on Friday 17th May and were welcomed with a tea, coffee or juice which was much appreciated as we'd had a 2 hour drive from Wirral to get there. We were taking into the lounge where the receptionist welcomed us and asked us to fill in... More

“Quintessentially British”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

The Howbeck is a lovely place. It's not a hotel, but what a would happily call a boutique guest house that has been sympathetically restored over the last few years. It's not particularly cheap, but it doesn't need to be or want to be. We did not have an evening meal at The Howbeck as you will see from my... More

“Howbeck”

Comfortable room, and quite stylish. Professional helpful and very friendly staff. Superb breakfasts. We would go back. Spa deal was good and we used it twice - in another hotel in Bowness, 20 min walk. Windemere is OK, but quiet and limited for pubs, although does have some reasonable looking restaurants,

Dear guests, thank you for reviewing your stay at The Howbeck. We are truly appreciative of your kind comments regarding the comfort, staff and breakfasts. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kindest regards from all of the team. More

“nothing special”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

We came just for one night using a living social offer and I would be upset had a paid full price as simply not worth it. Nothing outragiously horrid just very very average and forgettable sadly. The room was clean, but far too small to house a four poster and some of the furniture way past its best. The bathroom... More

“A lovely clean hotel with friendly staff”

We have just returned from a 2 night stay over the bank holiday weekend. The hotel is located a 2 min walk from Windermere village and about a 15 min walk from the lake and Bowness. Windermere has enough to entertain for one evening but there's not really a lot going on there, Bowness is a lot busier but is... More
