"Beautiful Veiw"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 6, 2012
I chose this hotel because I wanted to be in a more remote countryside location. This place did not dissapoint. We had a beautiful view from our room and the breakfast room. It was also not too far away from some small towns for food and activities. The room was comfortable and clean though the bed was a little too soft for us. With the exception of that, everything else was wonderful. The breakfast was also very good and they had options. Something I was very apreciative for as the full English breakfast is a bit heavy for me in the morning. Owners were very nice and helpful with great suggestions for food and driving directions. Would recomend this location to others and we plan to stay here again.
"5 Star from beginning to end!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 30, 2012
The Howbeck is perfect in every way - from the four-poster bed to the amazing breakfast to the complimentary bedside sherry - you can't ask for more. The staff is delightful and very helpful, making dinner arrangements and providing weary travellers with tea in the lounge. The facility is very well-kept and beautiful. There are many properties to choose from but I'd stay at the Howbeck again in a heart-beat.

"Windemere - English Lake Country"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 4, 2012
As an American, I first have to get past the sticker shock of traveling anywhere in the U.K. This is really true in popular areas like the English Lake Country. This hotel was a good location for us — good service, food, parking and easy accessibility. But like many U.K. accommodations the rooms are small, 1950's furniture with inadequate room plugs, and no in-room wifi. We'd return, but only because other affordable choices are limited. It's clearly an upscale B&B area.

"Celebrate 50th wedding anniversary"
We enjoyed it very much but if we stayed again, when booking, we would ask for a bedroom not on the top floor!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Pleasant stay with friendly & helpful staff.Good value for money.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Nice traditional hotel not like some sterile chain. I didn't eat but it looked good. The room was clean and staff helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A pleasant stay"
Bedroom decor a bit tired but it was clean and beds very comfortable. Excellent breakfasts and a very nice evening meal in the restaurant. Staff friendly and helpful. The little pool was a bonus for my daughter. Newby Bridge has no shops, just two hotels, so transport essential.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Total Disaster Stay"
We got this for 2xx quid for two days of the bank holiday weekend. Hotel appears as a good hotel till you check in. We were put into a very small room that was loft converted. Believe me when i say small you have to keep in mind of your head since you never know when it will be hit by the roof. It is so small that i could never imagine why a hotel would […] call this a double bed room. The food was not bad and there was no room cleaning service , even had to call the reception to get toilet papers. I would not recommend this to anyone. Note - don't ever get the rooms on top floor.

"Newby Bridge"
The building is interesting, sprawling, and in some places, tired. The staff were consistently very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed eating in the restaurant and the bar. The gym equipment has to be used at a temperature well beyond comfortable for exercise.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Cramped bedroom and poor customer service"
The hotel is ideally situated at the south end of Lake Windermere. My bedroom was on the 2nd floor in one of the double bedrooms - in the roof. As a consequence, the room itself was severly restricted due to 2 rafters. This meant that in a significant proportion of the room it was not possible to stand up straight. For example it was necessary to duck […] when getting out of bed. Moving around the room was fraught with the danger of banging one's head. The chair tucked under the roof was unusable. Furthermore, it was necessary to stoop to go through the door into the bathroom. And I'm not 6 feet tall. As for the soap dish placement - lethal - as the dent on my forehead shows. So all in all a very cramped and disappointing room. The bed and pillows were comfortable. As for customer service. I ordered a paper which didn't arrive (it wasn't ordered by the reception staff). The food in the bar was adequate but I had to request butter for the roll and cutlery. When I asked what soup it was - the answer initially came back as "green". It was more a question of - we stop ordering food at 8.45 pm rather than what can we get you? I needed an early breakfast - 7 am - but was told that would not be a problem even though breakfast started at 7.30 am as staff would be setting up from 7 am. Despite being early, I would have thought that the restaurant staff would have at least made sure that I had what I needed and would ask at least whether I would like a cup of tea. No - nothing. No communication from them at all. And on the first morning I had to wait what seemed like ages for the staff member to laboriously go through his routine of setting things. Finally, I left before reception staff started so returned later in the day to settle the bill. I was charged for my room which I didn't pick up at the time - I had already paid via Hotels.com. I rang immediately to notify the hotel of their error. I was assured that the person would look into it and get back to me the same day - no Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Poor service with no one to serve at bar at teatime after long day walking. :Same menu on both nights stay :Restraunt menu nearly Identical to bar menu. :Small cramped rooms in need of upgrade :Final straw charged £10.00 per night for a small well behaved dog.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Dated and in need of a refurb."
Overall- ok. Nothing special. The hotel is very dated and could do with a refurb. Food was average and reception staff could be more presentable and smile occassionally. I won't be staying there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
