Unfortunately we couldn't afford the total luxury of Wynn and Bellagio so opted for the next best thing Excalibur.

What an impressive and immaculate hotel; hidden away off the beaten track in its own grounds at the head of Bassenthwaite Lake. We spent 4 lovely stress relieving days/nights in its wonderfully relaxing ambiance. All of the staff were very welcoming, professional, attentive and pleasant. The room was just stunning with a huge and extremely comfortable bed, large double bath... more

However the whole experience was great. We were there for two nights but barely left the lovely grounds (only went out to see Trotters animal park next... more

Living in the city and only 2 hours drive away, Armathwaite Hall is the perfect retreat for us when the stresses of work gets too much. We just put the dog in the car and before we know it, we can be walking in the fabulous grounds surrounding the hotel and along one of the paths leading down to Bassenthwaite... more
