Top Waterhead Hotel Reviews

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Morning awaking with a visit from two doves. Don’t leave the window open."

Wateredge Inn- The Inn Collection group

6/10 Okay

"Third year staying here and what a different experience. Whether this was due to it being a bank holiday or not some things could have been better. On arrival not the usual warm welcome told we couldn’t book a table for food that night as not taking reservations, went outside and managed to book online!!!! Took 30 minutes queuing to check in and both nights took 25 minutes to queue for a drink and to order food at the bar. Ran out of beers second night and burgers on first night, considering we were told it’s like this all the time during holidays then you would expect enough stock to be ordered. The bar staff and those clearing the area worked really hard, credit to them. The breakfast system needs some thinking as you are constantly asked what room number you are when going up for the buffet and where the toaster is located blocks the way to the tables causing people to bump into one another. No fans in the room so had to open windows which not good being on a busy main road. Will seriously consider whether we would rebook again during the holiday season."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

4/10 Poor

"Very old fashioned room desperately in need of a refurbishment and a deep clean. Would suit a couple in their 80’s as that was the decor. Breakfast was nice, but when my wife ordered poached eggs on toast she got 1 egg on 1/2 piece of toast, was pretty funny as it looked sad on the plate. Staff were lovely"

The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel brilliantly situated in Bodensee. On a hill with views down the lake. Getting to the Lake steamers is just a walk down the lawn The staff are excellent friendly and helpful Rooms are spacious. Any negatives. The menu in the Bistro was a bit limited and breakfast range could have been more imaginative eg. fruit salad instead of a bowl of chopped melon A bit surprised to be charged £15 a night for parking. If I’m paying £200 a night B&B I would expect parking to be included! A few more comfortable chairs to sit on on the lawn would have been appreciated."

Keswick Country House Hotel

4/10 Poor

"This hotel is in an excellent location in Keswick and the staff were very helpful. The bar area was large and relaxing. However, the room, apart from the carpets, was tired and needed refurbishment. There was a black mould around the wooden windows. The shower unit was yellow with age. Even the toilet paper was thin and cheap. The breakfast was adequate, but the orange juice in particular, was like coloured water. Given the much higher price compared to local b&bs, we were disappointed with the overall experience."
