We've been going to this hotel for years and decided it would be the perfect place to celebrate a significant birthday. We had a variety of requirements and the staff were only too happy to accommodate our every need. Everyone we invited to the superb Sunday lunch was impressed with the food, delightful staff and wonderful environment. A huge thanks... More

We stayed for two lovely nights at The Hillthwaite House Hotel and found everything to be of a high standard. In particular all the staff were courteous, friendly and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was great with plenty of choice and had extra little touches like the canapes and petits fours. Will book again.

My husband and I and my mum visited this hotel. This stay was amazing and my husband and I stayed in Room 15 and my mum was in Room 16. Both these rooms were superb and you couldn't have asked for more. The décor, the views of the lake were stunning. The breakfasts & dinners were also lovely and the... More

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Sorry about the lift I'm afraid its just one logistical bridge too far for us to contend with. However, thank you for your lovely comments about Rooms 15 and 16, they are as you know the two most sought after rooms in the whole hotel and thats the reason why we... More

I bought a 2 night stay via livingsocial for my boyfriend's birthday on 10th June 2013. I was so pleasantly surprised! I paid a little extra (£10 per night) to have a slightly better room, I think if I was to stay again I'd either go all out and get the best room I could afford so that I had... More

It sounds like we have here another very happy Living Social customer, our latest package is certainly going down a treat with the members of Living Social who are recognising it as you did as a great value for money experience. No double standards here for the food, service and facilities are exactly of the same high quality as for... More

My partner and I stayed at The Hillthwaite House Hotel for two nights on a B&B basis, however the deal also included a four course dinner on the first night . . . a shrewd move on the hotel's behalf as the dining experience was such that we decided to dine at the hotel on the second night as well,...

Thank you for taking the time to write such a complimentary review about your recent stay at the Hillthwaite. Sorry on this occasion that your bedroom did not include the Lakeland view, much as we would wish it we have to accept that we are unable to provide all of our bedrooms with this very desirable accoutrement.

Stayed for two nights on a DBB rate. Excellent value for money as this included a 4 course dinner on each night. We had a room with floor to ceiling windows that offered the most fantastic views of the fells and lake Windermere. You could spend hours sitting in the comfy chairs in the bay Window watching the world go... More

Thank you for writing such a constructive and mainly positive review and your comments have been noted. Sorry you felt that some of the staff lacked a little training, unfortunately we have recently lost a couple of experienced members of staff and we are cxurrently introducing new staff and this is always a little disruptive in the initial stages. However,... More

Stayed for 1 night on the spur of the moment with the family and dog. Lovely room, good facilities (sauna was hot - pool cold) fantastic views. Had an evening meal that was excellent even catered for my fussy 11 year old. Breakfast was equally as good. All in all a lovely stay.

Thanks for your review -sorry the pool was not hot enough we try and maintain a temperature of around 82 deg F. We usually manage to cater for all ages including 'fussy 11 year olds' who often present us with a greater challenge than the most discerning of diners.

Stayed on a Fri and Sat on their 2 night deal. All I can say is WOW. The location of the hotel is perfect, overlooking Lake Windemere and a short walk into Windemere or Bowness.
