My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel for our first wedding anniversary and I must say we were very impressed with the Hotel and the service we received. Firstly when booking the hotel I was made fully aware by the Owner that there was some building work being done, this took place in the day when we were... more

The front doors are locked at 11pm, the bar closes at 10:45pm and don't bother asking for a cappuccino after 9pm as they switch the machine off. The rooms are tiny and not worth the money we paid especially for the 'suites' which are not suites just a slightly larger room. The manager seems to do nothing but chat and... more

My wife and I booked this hotel purely by chance after searching the internet for a weekend break deal. I rang the proprietor to make my booking and was f made fully aware of the renovations that are taking place and after being told that the room I had wanted had no windows, I guessed they were not of a... more

For the nights of 3rd & 4th August we stayed at the nearby ,and excellent, Crown & Mitre Inn but, due to lack of accommodation there, we needed to find an alternative, last-minute hotel room in order that we could stay in the vicinity for two more nights. Laterooms.com gave us several options which included Haweswater Hotel. We nearly clicked-to-buy... more

When we arrived we thought "wow what a beautiful location and amazing looking hotel", however it all went downhill from there. The owner/manager had a stinking attitude, couldn't manage to provide a coffee at 9pm as the machine was turned off, couldn't do a pot of tea at 10.15pm as the kitchen was closed and more or less told me... more

I've always known about this hotel & eventually decided to stay. It's probably the most difficult of hotels to categorise.. It's location & presence at the side of the lake is second to none. The reception is genuine art deco and should be preserved as such. Oak panneling, Tiffany glasswork etc. The staff are first class. The food is excellent... more

We only visited the hotel for coffee but were so disgusted that we had to write a review. The hotel is undergoing renervation which was excusable - but the attitude of the owner/manager was not. We, and the visitors who came in behind us, got a series of grimaces rather than a smile. The usual 'Walkers' Bar' was temporarily the... more

I found this place quite by chance when searching for a place to stay in the Lake District. I have had some dreadful experiences as a single traveller with Lakeland accomodation, so I didn't have any great hopes when I booked in. It had just been taken over by a large company and they were just starting the process of... more

We spent 2 nights at the Haweswater Hotel and found it to be a relaxing experience.The hotel has apparently changed hands in April 2008 and the new owner is starting to make some improvements to the building. Hopefully not too many as the building has a certain charm, but certainly our bedroom was in need of redecorating. The staff could... more
