"Really lovely venue. Clean, spacious and attentive staff. They went out of their way to help! The food was delicious- we had the breakfast and, even as a big eater, I had to leave some of the full veggie english (amazing sausages!)! The pancakes were great too! We also used the packed lunch making facility for our climb to Helvellyn (which you can do from the hotel!) and this was also really nice. Would highly recommend. The only thing that would improve the hotel for me would be a dry room...

Top Scales Hotel Reviews

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Nice basic room. Service was a bit slow for checking in and breakfast"

Carlisle Station Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

8/10 Good

"Clean, comfortable and warm room. Loved the step in bath in the corner of the bathroom. Breakfast plentiful but on the lukewarm side especially the scrambled eggs. This seems to be an ongoing issue as have stayed here at least twice before and breakfast each time has been on the cool side. Having said that, hope to stay here again when return to Carlisle."

"The hotel is lovely, well situated and very clean. Staff were few but very pleasant Spa was ok, but pool not very big Food was high quality and well presented Booked on line for restaurant, but no record of bookings when we checked in. All in all 7out of 10"

Woodlands Guest House Windermere

10/10 Excellent

"The room is cosy and comfortable, with plenty of parking spaces in both the front and back of the building. The made-to-order breakfast was very good, although it doesn’t start until 8:30 a.m. The location is convenient—about a 10-minute walk to town and a 15-minute walk to the lakeside."

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the balcony,more like a little garden. Very comfortable stay,spa bath in room was a nice surprise. Spa facilities were good amazing ❤️"

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at this hotel several times & as usual staff were friendly & hotel lovely. Room was immaculate with everything we needed. Breakfast delicious with good choice of food. Only slight issue was poor shower. Wouldn’t stop us returning though !"
