The hotel is set amongst three acres of private grounds and is surrounded by stunning scenery, meandering rivers and some of the most spectacular fells in North West England.With superb views across the valley and easy access to Keswick, this is the perfect place for a relaxing break.

We are proud holders of an AA Rosette for food, and our guests can enjoy dishes prepared using locally sourced ingredients; sit in the traditional bar to enjoy a drink or watch the wildlife from the comfort of the conservatory windows before retiring to one of the individually furnished bedrooms, with views of the surrounding countryside and hotel gardens. ... more less

“Wonderful little place”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

The staff - in particular the chef - must really take a pride in what they do here. Not desperately cheap, but... More

Excellent hotel and superb staff. My husband and I stayed at the Leathes Head with our dog. The look is a luxury, charming country house hotel and the atmosphere created by the staff is 100% relaxed, welcoming and down to earth. This hotel offered fantastic value for money and we will definitely be returning as soon as possible.

This is a delightful small hotel and after several visits now feels like an old and loved friend. In fact we first stayed at Leathes Head on our honeymoon - but that was a long time ago. This has been a cold spring so far but the welcome from our Cumbrian bolt-hole was once again as warm as the open... More
