My husband and I visited this hotel to celebrate my birthday and it turned out to be the best present I had! The hotel is spotless throughout with a gorgeous bar, lounge and conservatory. Beautiful room with wonderful views and a very comfortable bed. The hotel is stunning but its greatest asset is its staff. Never has a vodka and... More

You really have to want to stay here. It is pretty far off the beaten track, with only one road in and out. Having said that, it is well worth the trip for a relaxing stay. We stayed for 3 nights in room 4 and our friends were in room 3. Both are on the front of the hotel, upstairs,... More

Such a wonderful find that I don't really want to spread the good word or too many people may discover it! Had a 3 night stay whilst doing some walking in the area and the Leathes Head Hotel was a lovely place to return to each evening.

The setting is lovely and we had coffee and flapjack in a lovely outdoor area with all kinds of birds feeding and views of skiddaw.... More

Keswick, Ullswater and Castlerigg are just a stones throw away, amongst others. Borrowdale was a 'good quiet base', so we searched for a hotel in this... More

Food - beyond compare - evening meal -absolutely first class, dining room has pleasant ambience, especially... More

Used Leathes Head as a base for a walking weekend with friends and couldn't fault it in any way. The variety of food for breakfast set us up for the day and the meals in the evening were superb. We even used the pack lunch option which was a generous bag of food. This is the second time I have... More
