breakfast good room good only downside evening menue never changed it would have been nice if they put a special on

The location is fantastic, the scenery from the hotel is magical (what ever the weather is like).The decor is modern but classic. The hotel is only a twenty minute walk to Bowness and ten minute walk to the bus stop. The staff are friendly, enthusiastic, welcoming and they are always willing to help with any problems that may arise.

The only thing I would say is a change of menu would make a difference, especially if you are staying for more than a couple of days.This isn’t a criticism rather a suggestion.

We loved our time here. The hotel is well positioned with stunning hill views and short walk from the lake and the restaurants. The staff is incredibly helpful and nice and made our stay extra special. The restaurant and lounge areas have beautiful views and calm atmosphere, so you can slow down and really enjoy your time. The breakfast had plenty of options and the servers were polite and accommodating. The hotel is well maintained, clean and a good mix od modern and traditional. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with lovely personal touches. It is well worth spending a bit more and upgrading to the occasion rooms and rooms with a view as those are simply stunning and make the experience extra special. Absolutely worth it!

Everything was fantastic!

The view is amazing, you can see for miles and can see lake Windermere when sat out front. Breakfast - Fantastic choice, you could get little things like pastries, granola, yogurt etc. as a starter, then had the classic choices for the main. Had the full English, was just the right size and everything tastes great quality.

The room was comfy but didn't have a great view though we did pay for just a standard double room. I would argue slightly overpriced considering the poor view however the facilities made up for this. There is a very steep incline up to the hotel that some may struggle with, bigger cars may struggle with tight turns but easy enough to navigate.

- Great shower - Hotel recently refurbishment is excellent - Breakfast excellent - Location good 15 minute downhill walk to Bowness obviously uphill back. If you know Bowness you’ll know this - Staff excellent - we booked a deal on the smallest room - surprisingly roomy and bathroom was good - Great views - Unfortunately weather wasn’t sunny but lovely patio area would be great in warm weather

Nothing Didn’t use the pool so no view although is a small pool

This was our first time visiting the Lake District. We had a wonderful stay at Hillthwaite Hotel. Our room was clean, cosy and comfortable, perfect for a weekend away. Staff were amazing! They were warm, welcoming, friendly and very attentive. Meals were superb, best we've experienced compared to other weekend getaways. Good variety to choose from the menu. Hot chocolate was extra hot, thank you 🤗 We loved walking through the town. Lots of quaint local shops, good coffee spots and restaurants only a 20 min walk from hotel. We'll definitely visit again. Thank you, Hillthwaite, for a wonderful stay.

Interior decor very beautiful and tasteful, staff rather nice, views are amazing, very clean hotel and bedrooms have decorated to high standard, comfortable well equipped with spacious, modern en-suites shower bathroom. Most of all I loved the lobby and breakfast areas, where they serve a good quality, made to order breakfast. Swimming pool was clean but not warm enough, sauna was ok. Sitting by the the lobby windows and real log fires was my favourite part.

Swimming pool was too cold. Hotel could do with beauty and massage treatments and ideally if steam sauna is fixed too. Dry Sauna could have been warmer.

The hotel was in the middle of all the locations we wanted to visit, it was beside and walking distance from the busy Bowness for boat trips, boat hire, restaurants to suit everyone and on the doorstep of the most popular walking tours and routes to other beautiful villages Its proximity to everything . The warmth of our welcome, the comfortable well appointed rooms, serviced daily, the restaurant offered a varied and very tasty menu but above all this the gem of this hotel is its staff. Firstly Louise and claire were extremely busy but never failed to smile , be courteous,and professional in the delivery of their service. Must be recognised for this. The team as a whole were amazing. I cannot praise them all enough and hope to return another time

Only one thing annoyed us and that was the lack of signage at the entry, possibly a council requirement?, but it’s difficult if not used to it. We drove past the entrance several times expecting to see a billboard as the norm

Beautiful views of the mountains and Windermere Lake. It is a perfect walking distance between Windermere and Bowness.

Bar staff left us waiting over 10minutes for a drink, the lovely male receptionist informed the bar staff they had guests waiting and the bar staff then said they would be out in another 10minutes. We decided after already waiting 10minutes to just head back to our room for the night. This was at 18:00 and we was really looking forward to sitting in the lounge with a drink to watch the sunset over the mountains.
