"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.

"Too Many Steps" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 28, 2012

Room was basic but there were 21 steps from the street to the entrance and an additional 30 steps to our room--hostess said, "You feel as if you have walked to heaven." That is not what we felt. Breakfasts were good and hostess suggested excellent restaurants. Location was quite convenient for train station and restaurants. We couldn't use the lovely garden due to rainy weather.

"Southview-- Well Located" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Aug 17, 2012

Our King room was most convenient to everything in town and the tour we took. Good English Breakfast each morning, and good nearby restaurants. Our room was small and there was not much extra space for luggage or bath supplies, but we enjoyed the in-room coffee/tea.

Stayed one night and wish it could have been longer - definitely will return. Friendly staff, excellent food, one of the best breakfasts I have ever... tasted. Located in the tiny village of Hawkshead and a great base for exploring any of the Lakes/ by Andy from Chester on 05/02/13
