"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.

"Wonderful room!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 14, 2012

"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.

"Can i keep this place secret?"
After a long but beautiful drive, this was a lovely surprise. Check out the route you will take if you are in a rush as sat nav took me the scenic way!Room recently done to a very good standard. Bar meal great. Only sad thing was that i was working, as i was tempted to put on my walking boots and enjoy the beautiful countryside.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Beautiful country location, great rooms"
We loved our stay at Irton Hall. It is in a countryside location away from the major centres of the Lake District. There is a road connecting Ambleside with Holmrook, however be warned that if there has been a lot of snow this road may be closed - which is what happened during our visit - so we had to take a more scenic route. This didn;t really matter […] to us because we saw some amazing scenery and fells on our alternative route, but it probably took almost an hour from the main centres of Lake District. Not sure how often this direct route is closed, we were probably just unlucky and I suspect it is not closed very often. Our room at Irton Hall was luxurious, king sized comfortable bed, nice bath, very clean and comfortable. The building is very nice and surrounding countryside quite beautiful.

"Nice place but bit out the way..."
Nice hotel, looks good as you drive up, room very nice especially the massive bed and bathroom. Bar/restaurant isnt very big and there not really any other places to eat/drink within reasonable distance. Dont expect to be able to stay here longer than a night or two really. Mega roads around though :)Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great place to celebrate New Year's Eve!!!"
Enjoyable and comfortable stay in one of the cottages.We had our evening meal in the hotel restaurant which was very good and reasonably priced.The chef catered for our special needs as our daughter is allergic to nuts and we enjoyed our meal without worrying. The Manager and the bar staff were also very helpful and looked after us very well. We definitely […] would go again and maybe for a longer stay! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Well worth venture to Erskdale"
This was a last minute booking. We literally booked 1hr and half before we there. We never venture to that side of the Lakes and although the Sat Nav took uson the most nerve wracking journey. We were delighted when we arrived a beautiful Hall stood in stunning grounds. We had dinner and drinks all was at a reasonable price and the food was lovely. The […] bedroom blew us away. We coul not believe what we had booked we were overy tight budget and every penny we spent was worth it. We have already recommended our family visit and our work colleagues. Stephen and his staff were all very lovely and friendly. There was only one flaw and this is only because I am picky, not enough tea and coffee selection in the room. Only PG and full caffine coffee, I only drink earl grey and my hubbie only likes decaf. Otherwise visit and don't use the sat Sat Nav use a Map and go on the A595 Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Irton Hall"
What a brilliant little gem!! We booked for one night only as a get away weekend & wish we could have had longer here. The hotel was amongst the best we have stayed at; everything from the staff, the grounds,the countryside, the bar food, the breakfast & the room were perfect. We will definitely be back to spend more time here; thanks for a lovely […] relaxing break Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Highly recommended"
Beautiful buildings, exterior well maintained, pleasant grounds. Interiors beautifully decorated with good standard of fittings and finish. The staff were helpful and friendly and the receptionist was very informative about the history of the hotel. The food was excellent, varied menus with plenty of choices, and well presented. Can't fault the whole […] package! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"A relaxing night away"
Irton Hall is a beautiful place to stay in a beautiful location. We stayed for one night as part of a short walking break. The staff were very friendly and attentive, both in the evening and at breakfast next morning. The bar is pub-like in atmosphere, with real ales and good quality, good value pub-style food in generous portions. The breakfast the […] next morning was also very good. We stayed in a deluxe room, which was a bit on the small side but on the plus side it had excellent storage and wardrobe space. The bathroom was very good, with an excellent shower and jacuzzi bath (which was a delight!). It is important to remember that this is not a hotel, but high-quality self-catering and B&B accommodation. There are plans for a restaurant, but these are stuck in our wonderful planning system apparently! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Wonderful hotel"
Stayed for 2 nights in August. A lovely mansion house which is perfectly presented. Very clean ground, both outside and in. The rooms were large with lovely large en suite bathrooms with whirlpool baths. I-Pod docking and free wi-fi. Bar whch serves nice food and reasonably priced. This hotel is slightly off the beaten track and use of a vehicle is […] essential, but the surrounding area is so peaceful, that I could not lodge this as a negative. The staff were very freindly and helpful. would certainly recommend this hotel. First class. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"lovely Hotel - friendly staff - spotlessly clean"
Had a lovely 2 night stay. Stayed in a superior double room with great view over frount grounds, room was spacious and very clean. The bathroom was spotless and the jacuzzi bath was a lovely touch. Full English breakfast which was exellent. The Bar was reasonably priced and did some generously sized meals, eating was nice and informal as there's not […] a restaurant. Staff were very friendly and pleasant. The only problem was finding the hotel as it's not clearly signed from the main road and then when we arrived there wasnt a sign for the Reception area either. Enjoyed the stay and would return. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfect, good service plenty to do"
Staff so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Great stay with kids, plenty of space for them to run about. Food excellent. Felt with chilled out and relax. Loved it so much we are booking again for next year! Really recommend it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fantastic, once the booking was sorted"
En route to the hotel the sat nav packed up, which didn't help at all. However, this isn't such a bad thing as the postcode is nowhere near the hotel! Print off your own maps before you setoff! When arrived, the hotel had received no booking and all the B&B rooms were full. However, going above and beyond, the staff put us in the "house" next door which […] normally sleeps 9! Fantastic place, clean, quiet, good food, good bar, definitely thinking of going back for longer. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Acceptable place to stay for a night, comfy beds"
The hotel was fine. Our bathroom smelt of bad drains, which we did report and were advised it may be as the room hadn't been used recently. The decor is nice. It's clear the place has had quite a bit of money spent on it - it just looks not quite finished. Small details like unfinished cracks on the wall which could have been cleaned up quite simply. […] The man on reception was clearly new and didn't seem to have much experience when we spoke to him. The breakfast was good. Probably a good place to stay for walkers, the hall is quite remote. Spa bath was a welcome treat in the bathroom. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel - Difficult to find (forget sat nav)"
Hotel is nice but food service was dissapointing. Initially had trouble finding the place as we relied on Sat Nav based on the hotels postcode and this led us to an Outwood Bound Centre some 3km away. Room was smaller than expected but nice decor and view. Fridge present in room but only stocked water - a few drinks would have been nice. We ventured […] to the bar to order order which was eaten within same location. Food was very dissapointing and both dishes ordered Salmon & Lamb were well below decent quality standard expected with lamb being extremelyfatty and dry salmon being served without a sauce. Atmosphere was missing and although a great location and good views and satisfactory room - we probably wouldn't stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good, Enjoyable Weekend"
My partner and I had a very good weekend at the Hall. Really enjoyed being there and walking round the South West Fells. Recommend that you try it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Definitely worth while"
Very pleased with our room and the hotel in general. Andy and his staff were very friendly and welcoming. We could also recommend the food in the hotel, very reasonable and delicious. We would happily recommend the hotel, and remember to bring your walking boots!Genuine Expedia guest review
