We returned yesterday from a perfect 2 night stay at Hillthwaite House. We had stayed in the area before but our previous hotel appeared to have gone down-hill, plus we needed a hotel that had secure storage for my husband's mountain bike. We stayed on the 2 night DBB package (summer sizzler) and it was amazing. We purposefully booked room... More

Picking a hotel at random can be a lottery. I am pleased to announce that with Hillthwaite House I chose the right numbers. Hillthwaite is not pretentious and does not try to be any more than it is. What do you expect from an hotel? Peace and quiet..yes. Smiling and very helpful staff...yes. Good accommodation...yes. Good food....yes. Somewhere to relax...yes.... More

This hotel provides a perfect location from which to base yourself before you go exploring the beauty of The Lake District. From the moment we arrived we received a warm and friendly greeting from reception and this continued no matter which staff we came across. We were in Room 15 which had recently been refurbished to an extremely high standard... More

This Hotel is well situated between Windermere and Bowness and is only a few minutes walk from Bowness town centre. It is dog friendly (our yorkshire terrier millie loved it) the only gripe we had, she was only allowed in the conservatory and our bedroom, but feel she could have been allowed in the bar lounge. The staff were extreemly... More

We booked to stay here for my girlfriends birthday and what a great idea this turned out to be. Upon arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff who explained all we could need to know about our stay before showing us to our room. We had a house double (room 18) and have to say it was a great... More

I don't normally write reviews and do this type of thing but seeing some of the extremely petty and unnecessary things I'd seen written about this fantastic hotel, I felt obliged to write a review. I checked in on the 7th (of this month) for a 2 night stay. I'd got a deal and booked a Superior room with Lake... More

Had a pleasant stay at Hillthwaite but we did, from the reviews, expect more. When we arrived we initially had reservations about where we were staying - sat nav took us to the hotel via a housing estate and it is located up a steep drive. However, the staff were very friendly and our room was ok, a little small... More

I booked this hotel through a deal on "laterooms" as part of a surprise trip for my partners birthday. I really wanted it to be lovely and for him to like it, and neither of us were disappointed. The reception staff were lovely and made us feel very welcome. The room was great (room 30), four poster bed, jacuzzi bath... More
