This is the third time we have been to Holbeck Ghyll but the first time we have returned with two children under three! We decided to stay at the Gatehouse to give us a litte extra space, it is situtated just as you turn into the main drive, it's not far from the main building but it is a steep... more

On our frequent trips to our farm butcher in the lakes we often stop off for lunch. I had planned to go to this hotel for a while, as we both like good food, and reports were positive. The hotel is in a fantastic position with some of the finest of lakeland views. On a warm sunny afternoon it was... more

My husband and I stayed here last weekend (Bank Holiday) and thought it was absolutely fabulous. Yes, it's not cheap but we thought it was worth the money. We stayed in the Miss Potter suite which was lovely. It had a hot tub on the outside deck (spent a lot of time in that!) overlooking the lake. A previous reviewer... more

We arrived by helicopter to be greeted by the lovely new manager Claire. Food... more

Lucky to have ideal weather to appreciate the location and view... more

A wonderful stay. Excellent food, helpful and friendly staff. 2 beautiful chocolate labs and even more beautiful views of Windemere. I didn't catch any of the other rooms but would caution against the suite at the top of the hotel -- feels more like a converted attic than I was comfortable with. That's a very minor criticism, mind you; I... more
