"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.

"Country Inn"
Great and friendly staff, A great experience of a quiet Inn tucked into the Cumbria HillsGenuine Expedia guest review
"Fantastic Hotel"
The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and welcoming. They were chatting to new and regular customers alike. The hotel was clean and well presented with a pool room full of games which kept us entertained. Our room was clean and tidy full of character and charm. We chose to eat at the hotel and the food was superb. The only downside to our stay […] was that when we arrived at our room it was very cold, however after turning the radiators on and the heater in the room it became a much more pleasant temperature.

We booked the Greyhound as it was more or less in the middle for the Lake District. On arrival there was scaffolding on one side of the Pub which was off putting, and the other end had a large sign advertising the lease was up. Staff were helpful, room was ok had en suite but was very small. Bed had broken but changed when told, room was cold. We ate […] at the Greyhound each night Menu didn't vary a great deal which was disappointing. Breakfast was exceptional and set you up for the day. Don't think we would stay again.

"Lovely and friendly hotel"
Recently stayed in Greyhound Hotel and we really enjoyed every aspect of it. The hotel is easy to reach, with sufficient parking space and seems to be the the centre of entertainment in the village. The staff is extremely helpful and polite. Although we arrived late, we were still able to have dinner in the hotel restaurant, where the food was delicious. […] Local, fresh, organic produce, classic British menu as well as daily specials, which can be highly recommend Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Would use again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Could do better"
The hotel was fairly comfortable but getting a bit tatty around the edges. Our room was a bit dusty - on the headboard and walls and the towel of the previous occupant was still hanging on the back of the bathroom door. Staff were all very friendly and helpful but for a lovely old coaching inn it could be so much better with a little bit of effort. […] Breakfast was excellent and the evening meal we ate there was good and wholesome. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Welcomed by Glen & Biscuit"
We booked the family room , and there were more than enough beds for us (4 of us) , the room could sleep 6. The building may need a little more maintenance as we found out that the hotel has been there for hundreds of years (not sure). However, Rob (the caretaker) was splendid ! He owns these 2 pets Glen & Biscuit, We love them!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A lovely detour"
We stopped for one night on our way to Keswick and were pleasantly surprised by everything the Greyhound has to offer. The room was lovely, the food and service were excellent and the staff couldn't do enough to help. If we'd known our stay would be so pleasant, we'd have booked another night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Not for families really"
We chose the hotel for a sat night stay to accommodate 2adults and 3 children in one room. It is really a pub with rooms and the family room was above the bar with music and punter noise loud so difficult to sleep and get children settled. Plenty of room with 2double beds and bunk beds but bunks very wobbly and squeaky slats missing etc but sheets towels […] etc all really clean and food great but no children's menu just shared an adult meal.

"basic but comfortable"
Very welcoming. The family room was fine for our needs, though didn't have a bath. You could hear music from the bar until past midnight - didn't affect the kids but kept us awake, when we would rather have been sleeping.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Very comfortable with good bar"
We had one of the recently upgraded rooms at the front of the hotel, with a lovely view over Shap Fell. The large bathroom could have been better equipped for the price (awful handmix shower).The bar was well stocked with real ales (most being local) and the food (eaten either in the bar area or the restaurant) was well cooked and plentiful, if somewhat […] full of carbohydrates - probably ideal for the walkers and cyclists who frequent the establishment.

"Wonderful atmosphere, great food, excellent management and staff."
This was a last minute booking and couldn't have been better. My room was upgraded without asking and was very comfortable with a good en-suite bathroom and flat screen TV. Large comfortable bed with quality linens. Food was great. After the enormous breakfasts, I thought I would never need to eat again, but after a day of hiking I was ready to choose […] either from the bar or restaurant food The atmosphere of the hotel is unique and wonderful, and the staff courteous and helpful, and cheerful. WiFi is only available in the bar area, which is a good excuse to be there! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Asked if I could be moved,?Apparently hotel was full, Only when I mentioned this to the owner later in the evening I was moved to a better room,which I should have been given in the first placeGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Absolutely excellent but please,please tar.mac the car parkGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"イギリスの田舎"
妻、娘（５歳）、息子（３歳）、妻の母と私の５人で宿泊しました。車で移動しました。ホテルの裏に十分なスペースの駐車場があります。建物は古いので床が傾いていたりしますが、イギリスではさほど珍しくはありません。部屋は十分広かったです。一階がパブで二階がファミリールームなので、夜したから音がしますが、夜まで飲んでるなら大丈夫でしょう。料理が美味しかったです。スタッフも親切でした。周りは自然がいっぱいで、湖水地方などにも車で１時間ほどでした。ドライブにはもってこいのいい景色です。Genuine Hotels.com guest review
