Best Allerdale District Hotels

The owners have clearly put a lot of effort into creating a lovely hotel, and for deaf visitors it would be. The view from the balcony is superb, the room was spacious and comfortable and everything was pretty smart. However, the soundproofing was fairly dismal, so we could hear the couple in the room next to us talking and hear their child crying. - 1 star for inadequate soundproofing on what was a fairly expensive room. We were then subjected to very loud music with heavy bass from the wedding happening in the hotel - I hope the couple had a lovely time, but having shelled out for a room with a balcony in the quiet bit of the lake district I did find the lack of quiet a bit disappointing. - 1 star for the rather less than tranquil surroundings. On checking out, the receptionist asked us if everything had been ok, so I mentioned it was a shame the wedding music had been so loud, as it had made it hard to enjoy a quiet evening (for reference think Travelodge room above a nightclub). The receptionist told me that the music had been turned off at 11, so was in line with legal requirements, not sure why that was relevant, considering I had paid for a room in a nice looking hotel with a balcony in the quiet bit of the lakes. Her colleague shrugged at us, clearly indicating she thought we were the problem. - 1 star for rude staffing. In short, this hotel could be wonderful, but isn't.

While on a three week UK vacation I was booked here for three nights to celebrate my birthday and what a gift it was! Although undergoing a renovation, the manor was awesome! I was fortunate to have a room at the end of the hall, overlooking the courtyard, a field of sheep and a view of the sea! It was serene and peaceful. The entire staff, especially Barry, were so welcoming, attentive and friendly! I rarely rate 5 star and Hunday Manor deserves it.

We stayed at Armathwaite Hall over the Valentine's weekend to celebrate our last weekend away just the two of us before our baby boy arrives. At 35 weeks pregnant, I was in desperate need of relaxation and pampering and that was exactly what I got at Armathwaite! We booked the 'bubbles and bliss package' and we upgraded by booking a lake view room which was worth paying extra for. I particularly enjoyed my meal in the Lake View Restaurant on the first night, the staff in there are lovely and professional, and clearly work very hard with the same staff being on duty at breakfast too. Special shout out to Elena (apologies if I have got her name wrong) who is an absolute credit to the hotel and looked after us so well. Nothing was too much trouble for her! The pool and spa facilities are wonderful, and I'm looking forward to coming back when I'm not pregnant so I can enjoy the jacuzzi/sauna. Top tip for mums to be - the pregnancy massage in the spa is top quality, and the non-alcoholic sparkling wine available in the bar is probably one of the nicest ones I've tried!

We stayed for 2 nights but would have liked to have stopped longer. Room was nice but a bit squashed for space , bed comfortable, shower very good. Meals all good. Great place nearby at the train station. Also used the local spa facility, very smart but not everything was working properly when we were there. Staff were all very friendly , helpful and worked hard. Food was good especially the breakfast. Liked the bars in the hotel and the decor and atmosphere of the hotel.

The environment and facilities of the B&B itself are very good, and it is a very atmospheric accommodation. The biscuits in the room were delicious, and the meals provided by the B&B were also good, but not cost-effective (some dishes were a bit salty). The location is relatively remote, and I feel that people who stay here generally drive their own cars. We are a bit far away from Keswick and Derwentwater, and if the bus stops, we can only call to book a taxi. However, the overall accommodation experience is still very good!

On a 2 day break to the Lake District we stayed here on the Saturday night , was central to everywhere we wanted to visit , easily accessible just off the A66 . The evening meal & Breakfast were both 10/10 and the staff were all excellent , One lad sorry I didn’t get his name was extremely professional, I’d asked him about his Scottish accent but he was actually from Workington with Scottish Parents . Saying that all the staff were SO GOOD . Lovely clean quiet rooms

Find a hotel casually, it is very convenient to check in by yourself

First class! We have just had our 3rd stay at this wonderful place. Clare and Craig are wonderful hosts and always make us feel so welcome. Spotlessly clean, peaceful, wonderful views and garden. Amazing breakfasts-lots of choice including daily specials. The home made baking is a lovely touch. Great location with off road parking. Just a twenty minute walk into Keswick. We would recommend Thyme bistro for dinner, book in advance. Also recommend the Farmers Arms just up the road from Dalegarth for a post hike pint of wainwright Thank you Clare and Craig, see you next year
