A Trip Out to the Shore...

Advantages: Nice hotel, good communal facilities
Disadvantages: Not the most modern rooms

We stayed at the Lakeside hotel for three nights in August 2007. As we're not of 'above average means' we usually go for the Travelodge option when holidaying, but we decided to save up a bit and go for somewhere that was a bit nicer. The hotel's website shows the hotel in detail and shows all the facilities it offers and we were attracted by the look of the place and its setting right in the edge of Windermere. I do have to say that, although the ...
...communal areas of the hotel, it does take a few liberties with the guest rooms. The rooms pictured are of a high standard and relatively modern-looking but the room that we were in (while quite 'cosy') was also a little run-down and in the oldest part of the hotel. I think we were lucky in that we went on one of the only fine and sunny weekends of the summer or else the room might have been a bit cold. The facilities were fair, the bed was comfy ...

...served on rosti potato with Lodore red onion marmalade accompanies by a rosemary and redcurrant jus. Again this was perfect and the lamb melted in my mouth. Desert was a raspberry parfait, which I had no idea what it was, but nothing else took my fancy. It was like an ice-cream but much richer and more solid. A wonderful way to round off the meal. The staff throughout the meal were very efficient and more than happy to stop for a chat. Breakfast ...

Review of Lodore Falls Hotel, Keswick

Linthwaite House Hotel, Windermere

Advantages: Relax with a view
Disadvantages: Need a car

We have stayed at Linthwaite House a few times. We have always been made welcome and they try and create an atmosphere of staying in a nice country house. The view from the terrace is fantastic! You look down on Windermere Lake and across the lake to the rising mountains. As you are so high up you seem to see for ever, the changing light, the lake, green of the trees, the clouds scudding across. Above the hotel they have 14 acres of land with a ...
...Of course this is not a cheap budget hotel but if you want to push the boat out and celebrate a special birthday or anniversary then think of going to Linthwaite House. It is a distance from the centre of Windermere but that gives it tranquility and a peaceful atmosphere. ...

Disadvantages: Very poor service and organisation overall, particularly in Purdeys, really let down the experienc

...a Spa deal at the Langdale Hotel and Country Club near Ambleside (39 miles from us), and thought that this sounded like just the thing I was after. The website I have to say is excellent, and if you do decide ever to visit then certainly check it out, there are photos (although saying that they can make it look a bit better than it is!) of everything – rooms, spa, restaurant. Plus it is regularly updated. Having consulted with hubby (he wasn’t particularly ...
...the long-lasting benefits of a Langdale signature treatment.” There are various other packages available, so check out the website - http://www.langdale.co.uk/spa/spabreaks.htm The package included a £27.50 allocation per person towards dinner in Purdey’s Restaurant. This sounds very generous (more generous than it actually is), a full English breakfast, and a ‘light lunch’ in the Terrace bar. Of course there’s the night in the hotel, in a signature ...

Review of Langdale Hotel + Country Club, Ambleside

Dogs really are welcome!

Advantages: Superb location
Disadvantages: A little too quiet for some

(I originally posted the first draft of this on trivago.co.uk under bean372042) The Hotel Glenridding is set in a beautiful location right next to Lake Ullswater near Penrith Cumbria, when I say right next to, if you walk more than 30 paces from the car park, you will fall in! It is set in an extremely quiet village with a couple of shops and tearooms and little or no nightlife, however, that is not what this holiday is about. The area hasn't been ...
...retains charm and peace. The hotel itself is a quaint mix of old and new architecture and has 36 rooms including four posters, lake views, family suites and large corner rooms available for a supplement (aprox £25 per night) Reception/lounge and bar area. Walking through the large front door you immediately come to the above area. It is beautifully furnished with an eclectic mix of comfy chairs and settees by a roaring fire. Here you can relax ...
