Only called in for tea & coffee whilst walking back to Paterdale. We received a friendly welcome and sat on the terrace overlooking Ullswater. It was a sheer delight to discover, as I had hoped, that a simple request delivered an exceptional pot of leaf Earl Grey tea and a smooth tasteful cappuccino, the biscuit selection just melted away, literally...

We enjoyed the experience as much on this occasion as we did our first... Minus points:- The rooms are somewhat dated, the shower lacks power and the tea/coffee facilities... More

Having booked a one night stay via Secret Escapes, we could not have been happier with our "bargain." The room upgrade we received was lovely, the bottle of champagne was ready and waiting on ice and the six course dinner was an absolute delight, with exquisite soufflé options for starter and dessert courses. For those unable to choose between desserts,... More

We honeymooned in the Sharrow Bay Hotel in 1968 as gauche 21 year olds. It could have been very intimidating but the owners and staff were so caring and it was an experience we never forgot. 45 years later thanks to a secret escapes special offer our return to the same room was just as memorable and the staff just...

Have been fortunate to visit this hotel on a number of occasions. The hotel may have gone through a rocky patch, but is definitely back on top form! Food, service and staff were all really excellent today. Three course menu great value. ,

Six of us spent a Saturday night at this wonderful hotel, celebrating the birthdays of 3 of us. We stayed in the lodge which was lovely-- I was expecting it to be rather tired looking after reading some of the reviews on tripadvisor, but it was excellent. I am disabled and sometimes find it difficult to sleep in hotel beds,... More

We stayed at Sharrow Bay late April 2013 for our Anniversary and found on arrival we had been upgraded to a large room on 2 levels for living and sleeping which made for a luxurious and relaxing stay. The rooms were well appointed and very clean. The food at both breakfast and dinner was excellent and the staff were very... More
