Top Thirlmere Hotel Reviews

The Edwardene

6/10 Okay

"The breakfast was wonderful. The room was very, very small and several surfaces were not very clean. There was black mold around the base of the shower door. We had some helpful and some negative experiences with staff. We had to park on the street 3-4 blocks away from the property."

Mary Mount Hotel

6/10 Okay

"I have been staying here for decades mainly because of its location. It is a truly beautiful property but unfortunately it is in desperate need of a refurbishment. Paint off the walls , worn carpets and generally in need of some TLC. On the positive side at least the people are still really accommodating , professional and friendly. Hopefully the property itself will get an update."

Dale Head Hall Lakeside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing stay at the Dale Head Hotel! Beautiful location and well-manicured grounds to walk around. There is access to the lake from the property, but not easily - the path is a little over-grown. The Manager, Dale, was lovely and could not have been more helpful. We were there to hike Helvellyn, and he advised us that Swirls Car park (beginning of the hike) is easily accessed from the hotel by a woodland footpath, rather than the main road, or paying for the car park. Drinks on the terrace over-looking Thirlmere lake were lovely in the evening, as were the home-cooked bar meals provided. The menu is small, but is ideal for when you return in the evening hungry and wanting something substantial. I had the Chicken & Bacon pie and my husband had the burger - both were cooked beautifully and very tasty. They also served a home-made beef stew with cheese scones, which looked (and tasted, according to other guests) amazing. A short, 5 minute walk from the hotel is The King's Head Pub on the main road, who also serve delicious food. We stayed in a 4-poster deluxe double with a lake view. The room was full of character (slanting floor - interesting!) And very comfortable - especially the bed! First time I haven't woken feeling like Ive slept on a board! Breakfast was also superb! The poached eggs were cooked perfectly each day! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would not hesitate to book again in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay!"

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing all round. Big bedroom with great views, amazing food in the restaurant, kind and helpful staff, and the spa was incredible after a day of browsing the local towns and some walks around the lakes. Perfect central location too as a base for our trip, with easy access south to Ambleside and Windermere or north to Keswick and across towards buttermere. A luxurious stay that made our trip complete."

The King's Head Inn

6/10 Okay

"Very clean, with very courteous staff. It's an old roadside inn, so there's no air conditioning and lots of traffic noise, which I struggled with. My single room had everything I needed, except a wardrobe. A couple of hooks on the doors would have helped enormously, as I had nowhere to hang my dresses during my stay."
