Guest Reviews

• Basil (10/5): - This is an excellent property to explore the beauty of Lake District. Highly recommended because of the excellent service.
• Tricia (7/5): Fantastic property- great for a big group. Just starting to look a bit tired and mucky in the communal areas. - Size, location and lots of communal space . Bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely (some need a bit of basic maintenance) Communal areas (esp the bar) are great to have BUT need updating/refreshing and the kitchen needs a through deep clean etc
• Julie (10/5): Large house with beautiful views - The open plan living room was perfect for the children to run around. The outside verandah with beautiful views was amazing to sit and chill on. The children loved playing in the fields, such a fabulous place to stay and a bath in most bedrooms was a treat. I would stay here again. Windermere was only 15 minutes away for a drive out. My family highly recommend this place.
• Michael (7/5): Enjoyable weekend away in a large country house. Great location, sizeable bedrooms and would definitely return. - Great location and setting, very peaceful with beautiful views Size of the living areas and the decor is lovely Great sized bedrooms and facilities for large families/ groups Kitchen and bar area needed a deep clean, including utensils, glasses and crockery.
• Lucy (9/5): Highly recommended for such a visit. - Perfect for a family new year (17 people). Wonderful position overlooking the Lyth Valley. Rooms have been upgraded to a high standard. Some issues due to staff shortage on the day of arrival which were dealt with.
• Ben (8/5): -
• Martin (8/5): Great fun with occasional challenges! - The location was excellent and fairly convenient for all the towns and destination around Windermere. The house was huge and the bedrooms very well appointed. Although all the bed linen was clean and fresh, one of the rooms had not been hoovered and the kitchen needed a good clean. Because we had run of the place, we just dealt with it. We did have a problem with one shower that couldn't be turned off after the tap sheered off unexpectedly. This was running for the whole weekend as there was no one available to look at it, and our efforts failed. We are a resourceful bunch and even a power cut which knocked the heating out didn't phase us! We just quietly got things sorted with as little fuss as possible. We had a really good stay and would go again. Perfect for a large group to chill.
• Leigh (9/5): Thoroughly enjoyed it if I had a spare 1.4 million I would buy it! - It was beautiful and was nice and remote to enjoy the peace and quiet in the mornings. We were a large group of 20 and had the place to ourselves . We loved the wooden themed bar and sitting and dining areas aswell as the balcony. The hot tub was good too and all of the rooms were a decent size. It could have been a bit cleaner and needs a bit of a freshen up of paint maybe in the lounge area. But was good enough for what we needed it for
• Sarker (9/5): -
• Ahmed (10/5): - A great place for families to get together and have a good time. The privacy was good and the children loved it.
• MD SAMIUL (8/5): -
• Melissa (5/5): -
• Victoria Ashleigh (10/5): -
• Nicola (10/5): Group Booking at Lyth Valley - The house is beautiful and the most amazing views. Each room has a luxury feel and suits the house well, keeping the character. The offer of extra facilities such as clay pigeon shooting on site made the whole weekend fantastic. Large and roomy but traditional. Excellent would re book.
• Linzi (10/5): Excellent stay - A beautiful large property. The on site manager was flexible and friendly and the property itself was just fantastic. Nothing
• Katie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sandra (9/5): Great accommodation in an excellent location with great views, for a family get together if 4 generations to celebrate a - Location. Style. Plenty of space and each room with its own en-suite facility. We liked the large central bar area and the hot tub. Although a full catering kitchen we lacked some equipment but were able to manage to cater for 15 of us in total. A couple of things need a little update (eg peeling wallpaper in the ladies toilet).
• Jean (10/5): Fantastic place for a getaway with family or friends. - Fantastic place for our family get together, the bedrooms are amazing and we loved the balcony and bar area. The views are beautiful.
• Tracey (10/5): Exceptional - The indoor and space. Just missing a few utensils in the kitchen.
• Jing (5/5): Passable - Rooms are good. There was unfinished washing up in kitchen and sink. It was not clean on hallway and the hoover was in the middle of hallway upstairs.
• Francesca (8/5): Nice location and country house. - Nice rooms, good location, description matched the house No one took us round the round when we got there, some rooms hadn’t been cleaned, not enough towels for 17 people

The door locks were difficult and there were a few spiders in the corners of the ceiling which I didn't enjoy!
• Jodie (10/5): Wonderful! Would highly recommend. - Hotel was immaculate, with gorgeous views and the room was superb with nice decor and very comfy beds and was also spotless. Also, Phil who runs Lyth Valley is one of the best hosts I've come across, very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay at Lyth Valley. Will be definitely returning when i can and recommending to people i know. Couldn't fault a single thing. 10/10 on everything

• Jennifer (9/5): Superb -
• Peter (9/5): Very relaxing, great room, gorgeous views, will be back. - Set in an idyllic location with lovely countryside views all round, this Hotel is so peacefully quiet, ideal for a night or two of relaxation away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life. Phil, the host, is welcoming and courteous, room we stayed in was very spacious, comfortable, and clean (the Stag). TV reception was poor to non existant, Sky would not work. Having said that, the weather was horrendous, but you still could not get normal TV through the aerial.
• Natalie (9/5): Superb - Lovely decor, great value. Nothing
• Julie (5/5): Passable - Could do with an update. Furniture was old. Room was dark. Just a bit too far out. Had to drive to nearest pub as no facilities at the house.
• John (7/5): Good -
• Paul (5/5): Passable -
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Mchale (8/5): Beautiful location and building - View Location Room Staff Hotel was beautiful just missing small things like bath mats, robes in room

• Sam (10/5): Exceptional - Loved everything about it. Room was fab and the location and views were amazing! Perfect peaceful stay.
• Lynn (8/5): It's not a hotel - Rooms were fabulous and a fantastic view. Breakfast very nice Would stay again No bar or restaurant and no reception. However they happy for us to eat our own food and drink our own drinks on their terrace.
• Natasha (9/5): perfect for a private, quiet get away. - lovely surroundings, perfect location for a quiet little get away. Went with my partner for our anniversary stayed for 2 nights, very private place. comfy bed, lovely bathroom.
• Faith (7/5): Good -
• Vicky (6/5): Pleasant - Absolutely stunning property and surroundings. Bedroom was beautiful, bathroom stunning. Unfortunately, the bed was too soft and lumpy. The lack of staff was off-putting. On arrival, we had to phone to get into the property. We were the only guests there that night, and it was left unmanned overnight, quite eerie.
• Stewart (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christine (9/5): Superb - The views and the quiet Bedding rather thick so very hot. Nowhere to hang clothes. Only a few small drawers.
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional - Staff and hotel was fantastic location perfect lovely hotel There is nothing I didn't like
• Samantha (1/5): unreliable, poor communication - didn’t get to actually see it. not being able to book in, messages being ignored despite having arranged a late check in. I had explained that we were doing a charity 50km walk and didn’t know when we would be able to check in, but I was assured that this would be okay and that someone would contact us on the day. They did not. I did message them but had no answer. We went to the accommodation and the doors were open, lights on but no one was there! We then had to find another hotel so we had somewhere to stay after walking all day, in the sun. Today I have noticed that a payment has been taken out. I am extremely unhappy and disgusted at how I have been treated. I initially explained the situation and that I would cancel my room and find another hotel, but they assured me that it would be okay.
• Anonymous (7/5): Good -
• Helen (9/5): peaceful stunning setting - relaxed and comfortable with stunning views nothing
• Susanna (9/5): Superb - Beautiful views. Beautiful bedroom, spacious, clean and very stylish. Great breakfast.
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional - Very peaceful in a beautiful setting. Nice large rooms and bathroom. Had everything there we needed.
• David (8/5): Very good - Beautiful room, excellent views No restaurant or bar
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional - fantastic location with wonderful views nothing
• Allannah (9/5): beautiful surroundings and heavenly beds - the surrounding and view from the room were incredible. The interior was great, bed was super comfortable! love a freestanding bath but it was a little small, but the shower more than made up for it! the toilet constantly kept refilling with water, which was loud and annoying as it was hard to get to sleep, and then woke me up. also the lack of a bin for small rubbish items
• Jayne (8/5): Very good -
• Mehfuza (7/5): Good -
• Diana (8/5): Very good -
• Miles (4/5): Visited in 2018 and thought was amazing. Came again in 2023 and nothing like the same standard. - Good location for access to Windermere Run down, damaged furniture, breakfast not great
• Jasmine (7/5): Good - clean, nice spacious bedroom and bathroom. staff very friendly and good breakfast - with a good view too! wifi didn’t work. the amenities weren’t amazing considering the price of the property E.g toiletries, number of towels provided etc. and it was also very very quiet…we assumed there was a bar downstairs from the pictures but no staff manning it
• John (9/5): Superb -
• Luke (8/5): Very good -
• Sarah (10/5): beautiful location, beautiful room, friendly staff. Would recommend - Very stylishly decorated and the The Stag room was beautiful. It had a gorgeous free standing bath and the bed was super comfortable!!! Phil was very welcoming and looked after us all through our stay. Breakfast was very tasty too. The alcohol license had expired so they weren’t serving drinks but on the plus you could take your own!
• Rachael (5/5): No worth the cost - The view No toiletries no toilet role shower gel or soap no kettle. When I asked the staff for these he ignored me. The bed was dipped in the middle so spent the night with both of us trying to get out the dip. No honesty bar. Breakfast was full of grease with microwave meals and tinned mushroom thought of it it still turning my stomach. Man working there Philly was no where to be seen and even when he was wasn’t any help
• Kelly (7/5): Room breakfast and views great but bed so uncomfortable - The location was great with amazing views. Breakfast was particularly stunning and the views breathtaking. Breakfast in itself also very very good. The room was very nice. The thing that let it down was the bed. I never slept a wink all night. It was very lumpy and I think perhaps the springs have gone on the right hand side of the bed. Please please invest in a new mattress for that room as we would readily come back it that was fixed.
• Gordon (8/5): enjoyed stay. next time take room at back where more quieter. breakfast really good!… - good location in Lake District no evening meals or bar open
• Ryu (9/5): Wife and I loved it, thank you. - -Clean and comfortable room and a clean bathroom -Not too far from Bowness on Windermere, 10-15 minute drive! -Friendly staff, the one bloke who was working there was a joy to chat to. He helped me get my car going on the last day because it wouldn't start, I was able visit Bowness for the final time before heading home. -Breakfast was good but nothing special, my wife really enjoyed it though. -No air conditioning which I think would be necessary in these warmer times, or at least a fan in the room.
• Charlotte (6/5): Beautiful place, some things need improving - The house is absolutely lovely with an unparalleled view of the countryside. Room was well decorated with high quality facilities. The breakfast was awful and there was no kettle in the room (even though there was a tea tray)
• Dragonskin (7/5): A room with a beautiful view - The views were beautiful, the rooms were larger than normal, and they were beautifully decorated. When we arrived, there was no one to greet us. The room was for 2 people, but the tea and coffee were only set for one. The TV was dire, and that needed an upgrade. You could hear the traffic passing by, which was annoying. The bed was a little uncomfortable, but each to their own, the one thing that did do us, the heat in the room was stifling, The price I paid for one night didn't justify the stay
• Nikki (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing views. beautiful room laidback friendly staff nothing
• Keith (3/5): Could be amazing but poor standards let it down - nicely decorated, plenty of space in the Robin suite, great views, reasonably close to Windermere and Kendal but not noisy Room was mostly clean but lots of cobwebs and dust - clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly before I checked in. Breakfast only available between 8:30 and 9:30, although special arrangements were made when I asked… just not sure I should have needed to ask given I stated my reason for travel was business. Breakfast was ok except for the mouldy bread served and the milk that was on the turn. limited offer - three cooked options but no juices, cereals, yoghurts etc 2 TVs in the suite, neither had more than 3 channels working. Pictures give an impression of there being a bar or dinner available but nothing. so Kendal or Windermere nearest options.
• Geoffrey (9/5): Superb - Well presented B&B,room was well planned,with seperate lounge,bathroom was large with modern shower and bath,cooked breakfast was excellent, more fruit,dates,prunes and mixed fruits,would have given a better choice for those not wanting a cooked breakfast. Tvs did not work,dirty spoon left on coffee table, no tea bags present,mattress seemed to have a duvet under the fitted sheet,but was still comfortable, found shower difficult to adjust temperature, am being picky but you did ask,bottled water would have been a nice touch,was dust build up on lights and some furnishings, would stay again,
• Alex (10/5): Absolutely lovely little getaway far enough away from people but also close enough! will be back - The location is amazing! lovely views and very quiet but not too far from windemere nothing
• Mandy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Puffin66 (10/5): Lovely scenic location with clean spacious rooms. - Lovely cooked English breakfast. Beautiful scenic location, nice and quiet. No dinner facilities.
• Hannah (9/5): perfect for a break away, - really cosy and clean, quiet at night and beautiful views in the morning for breakfast. loved the heated floor in the bathroom too
• Bob (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hilary (8/5): Staff very welcoming. Would visit again. - Breakfast very good.
• Caroline (8/5): Very good - Location was beautiful, the breakfast was absolutely fine.
• Robert (9/5): Superb -
• Sarah (10/5): Perfect place to stay. - Loved everything about it. Room beautiful, amazing views. Breakfast was lovely. The man who works there was so lovely. Only 15 minutes drive in to windermere. Would definitely stay again. Nothing
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Konstantin (10/5): Great value for money, would definitely be back. - Friendly host Tv in the room didn’t work
• Elaine (7/5): Good - Beautiful rural peaceful location with parking Large comfortable room Good breakfast •key to room tricky to use •needed to request certain items which were missing from room (request was dealt with promptly)
• Isabel (9/5): Very relaxing and peaceful - gorgeous house beautifully furnished. Such a great location. Breakfast was huge with great variety. nothing I didn’t like
• Hugh (9/5): felt welcome from the very first to the very last moment. Great work by Phil - homeliness
• William (10/5): Exceptional - Had a great night Phillipe was very friendly 'knowledgeable about the local history had a lovely breakfast and room was very clean and comfortable 👌
• Hannah (1/5): Bad - This hotel was closed on arrival despite having a booking confirmed. We called the number provided but it went to voicemail, we waited and waited but did not receive a phone call back, As a result of this we had to book alternative accommodation. Highly disappointing and I have still not received a phone call yet from the hotel.
• Melissa (6/5): Peaceful - The location was stunning and the host was super friendly and eexplained to us which way the sunrise would start in the morning which we were able to enjoy the next day . As mentioned the host was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast absolutely exceeded our expectations and was lovely. The portion sizes were perfect and the views were breathtaking. The only issue we found was that after spending the evening in Windermere (for tea), I attempted to take a lovely hot bath (as this luxury was the main reason we chose this property)... however there was no hot water in the shower or bath from about 7pm until the morning time. We let the water run for a while to see if it would warm up, but it didnt. We also did not know where to find or how to contact the host for assistance. As a result, we were unable to take advantage of this luxury that, as mentioned earlier, sold this property to us over all the others. We only stayed for one night and due to the very early breakfast and checkout, we were not able to use this facility in the morning after finding the water was hot (due to the lack of time). To conclude, the lack of hot water in the evening/overnight was unfortunately a real upset for us.
• Peter (7/5): Pleasant but the details let it down - Beautiful property set in exceptional location, the countryside around the House is as picturesque as it gets. Room was well appointed, plenty of space for 3 of us, including a small lounge space. Breakfast was good for what was available. No real check in procedure as no staff on site on arrival. Room had no tea/coffee facilities on arrival, nor any bathroom toiletries including toilet roll! Had to ring to be then told to either wait 1 hour plus or go looking in drawers around the house. TV in the lounge area didn’t work.
