Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by a fabulous chef named Nicky. Our room was absolutely gorgeous with a direct and side views of the reservoir. We made reservations in the Brasserie and had one of our best meals while on vacation. The staff and chefs were lovely; attentive, personable, and kind. After chatting with our server, we discovered it was her very first night with the hotel; you would have never known. Hearing I had a food allergy, Nicky even came out to discuss what was in my meal. The hotel is steeped in history that is beautifully represented throughout and the landscape is stunning and peaceful. It felt like we had stepped back in time.

We have no complaints.

Absolutely stunning location. Chef Chris went over and above with his professionalism and hosting making us an excellent dinner as we had arrived 10 minutes after the kitchen closed. A great finish to the evening as we had driven all day from Scottish Highlands!

We were not expected when we arrived as my late booking and message had not been received by the reception staff!Redeemed by asking for a view and got a beautiful lake and garden view room upgrade!

Can honestly say the most incredible trip away we've ever had! Without a doubt everything exceeded our expectations. Staff were very warm and welcoming, very friendly, the food was out of this world and the whole experience as a whole was truly unforgettable ❤️ would million percent recommend to everyone and we are already planning our next trip here and we only got home today. The room was perfect size, very clean and warm. The bed was so comfortable and everything was immaculate. Do not have a single bad word or criticism, everything was perfect! Would not have changed a single thing. The breakfast was so yummy could eat it every day! We spent valentines day here and our meal that night was amazing, definitely compliments to the chef. Absolutely adore the fact the staff took their time and actually cared and appreciated us and made us feel so so welcome. Can honestly say the customer service was incredible! And that's a massive thing for me and my husband. We had arrived at night and didn't see the view until the morning, it was the most breathtaking, amazing view we have ever seen in our lives. Hand on my heart I cried My eyes out with happiness when I came downstairs and saw that view its literally right next to the lake oppisite the mountains. Thank you so so much to the staff for making the whole experience as a whole truly amazing.

Can honestly say there was not a single thing we didn't like!

I’ve been travelling to the Lake District for years, and this is by the far the nicest hotel, best location, best service and comfiest rooms I have ever experienced. If you are at all undecided about where to stay on your next Lake District, and the Hawswater Hotel is available, book it!!

The food at Haweswater Hotel was amazing, they have a very talented Chef. I cannot recommend the food highly enough, we had the best meal we have had for years. What a treat. If you are staying here for the scenery and walks, book a meal, you will be delighted. The staff were all so professional and helpful at all times. It was supposed to be a one night stay and as we were travelling back from Wales to Scotland after a family funeral we did not expect to have such a pleasant and enjoyable night. We will go back and have the 8 course tasting menu and stay longer, what a treat and after a very tiring journey we expected to have a "Faulty Towers Experience " how wrong were we!

From the moment my wife and I arrived we loved the hotel which welcomed us with its art deco character and warm staff, from Charlie on reception, to Fiona making sure our room was comfy to Pip in the bar and restaurant all three are a credit to the hotel. We stayed in the Lakeland suite which had a Japanese plunge bath a separate lounge and bedroom and the star attraction was the balcony which provided the most breathtaking view of the lake and peaks. The hikes were amazing and the hotel is in a prime location for access to the fells and peaks, we will be back with our daughters and dogs to share this wonderful gem in a tranquil and beautiful setting in the lakes.

Staff were attentive, food was lovely and hotel room was clean

+amazing location for hikes + views stunning +great staff + all food - dinner and breakfast amazingly high quality + lovely rooms with views

This charming hotel tucked into the valley was perfect for walkers and for leisure travellers. We stayed in the king's room which was spacious and provided amazing scenes. Hotel was warm and decorated in a characterful way. The staff were attentive and matched the characterful venue. Evening meals were delicious, although more on the finer dining side. Vegetarian options catered for also. Breakfast was large and with great options. Thoroughly recommend as a point to explore Haweswater from.

Set menu was quite expensive, not price competitive for the surrounding pub options, which would have completed the experience.

This place was absolutely INCREDIBLE. The views, the architecture, the interior design, the service, the staff, and, most importantly, the food. This is honestly one of the most perfect places I’ve ever stayed and we’re already planning on coming back next year. Thank you so much.

There was nothing not to like
