Newby Bridge Hotel

This is a lovely hotel in a beautiful location, however what made our stay memorable was the fantastic staff. Being disabled and this break being one of those where, "If something can go wrong it will", keely and her team ensured that my wife & I could resolve and overcome the challenges we faced to enjoy a relaxing and comfortable break. Would recommend this hotel and my wife and I look forward to visiting again.

Swimming pool and sauna added to the stay

Everything in the hotel suited us, so there was nothing to dislike

Breakfast was really good. Coffee on tap and cooked breakfast was excellent. Bar evening meals were just as good.

Nothing.

Staff were super switched on to the event and made special allowances

Wifi wasn't great, but not there to use that

Restaurant food options have sadly declined recently , now much more like a pub than a hotel restaurant with emphasis on a fixed menu with your average pub-type meals with chips and salad being the main feature of the dishes rather than freshly cooked vegetables like it used to be . The food itself was nicely cooked and portions good but compared to previous visits over the last 25 years it’s not the quality it was . We always enjoy the breakfasts - plenty of choice but I have to say that the water isn’t hot enough for the tea and the coffee isn’t hot enough for me either. Garden room great for us with dogs as it accesses the garden directly . Agree with other visitors that there are areas that need some attention to update but room clean and comfy. Tea , coffee and biscuits replenished daily. Pool is now used for swimming lessons which does impact on other guests - on this occasion we didn’t use it which is the first time ever , however it didn’t spoil our stay. Alex on reception and Scott on the bar friendly and helpful and welcome you by name which is nice. Will return as it’s our happy place to stay, but probably only on B & B as I feel that for the dishes offered we could get those in other places for a lower price. Please get a specials menu to supplement the fixed menu as the chef must be so frustrated churning out burger and chips and similar dishes which isn’t what you expect in a hotel. Great location for places to visit and walk but did feel let down with the food as things something we really did look forward to and something the owner of the hotel needs to take on board as multiple reviews mention the food

Booked this hotel through Travel Zoo and got an excellent deal on one night dinner bed and breakfast with a bottle of Prosecco. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds with a large car park in an excellent location. The bedroom was well equipped but a little dated which didn’t make any difference to our overall stay, very spacious dining room, the food was good the service excellent. Nice bar and lounge area which stocked a good selection of bottled wines at very reasonable prices. Now here is where the hotel excels - the staff, every member of staff we came across were friendly, chatty and ready to help answer any questions. After arriving home I realised I had left a phone charger in the room on contacting the hotel they confirmed I had left it, running up to the bedroom whilst I held on the phone to check. I was then advised the best way to have the charger returned to me, I made an error online when requesting collection of the charger, an email to reception sorted this out for me. I have stayed in many, many Lake District Hotels with very posh bedrooms costing a lot more per night than The Newby Bridge Hotel but you do not get the friendly, chatty helpful staff.

The location was perfect as it was a base while running in The Lap. A very relaxing atmosphere with friendly staff and great food options. The room and bed were comfy and the pool area was a bonus. The missus was happy as she only had to nip out the bar Saturday evening as I staggered passed at the 40 mile point of the race!! Only issue was the room was close to the bar area which didn't help with my early night before race day but next time I'll request a quieter room.

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff there. Keely arranged for me to check into my room early without any issue which was really helpful for me. The room was clean and a good size. The breakfast was nice, my only comment would be it would be nice to have fresh coffee and tea bought to the table. It’s a great location.

Newby Bridge Hotel is a welcoming establishment, clean, with a comfortable lounge, excellent standard and choice of meals. Good car parking, lovely grounds. Definitely will stay again.
