The bed was incredibly comfortable. The little touches in the room were wonderful, such as a great hairdryer and locally made produce for the bathroom and biscuits. The breakfast was out of this world.

I really enjoyed breakfast time. Breakfast was delicious and there was a lovely ambience and everyone was chatting amiably together. The White House is in a great location and the owner was very welcoming and helpful.

The road (4 miles) to Bampton from Shap is extremely narrow with few passing places here and there and has to be driven with great care because you can meet buses, lorries and farm vehicles. The road (2 miles) from Bampton to Haweswater is equally narrow and has to be driven with great care.

Haweswater Hotel is miles from anywhere so a lot of driving needed , as for all the Lakes I presume. Perfect if you want peace and quiet, great views and wonderful walks. Bampton village itself is very small with few facilities.

The area is quiet, accessed by narrow lanes all worth exploring . The hamlet of Bampton sold the cheapest petroleum for miles. Locals were delightful. Be prepared to travel for 30-50 minutes to reach other key locations in The Lakes.

If like me you are not a seasoned walker take the lower walk at the bottom of the reservoir which snakes around a peninsula and gives unbelievable views. Eat dinner at the Hotel during your stay the food and services are top quality. Weather permitting take time to have a drink on the seats at the front/side of the Hotel and just enjoy the peace.

Excellent base location for walkers who want to get straight out on to the fell. Haweswater and the surrounding hills are a perfect jumping off point for those wanting to join high street and other ranges in the lakes.

Lovely drive to a stunning location.
Lovely drive to a stunning location. Takes you to a peaceful relaxing place in a lovely building. Great staff, beautiful decor and gorgeous suites.
Food was excellent and service was perfect. Enjoyed every moment and wish we had stayed longer x
Great view out the front of the hotel (and probably the rooms in front if you’re lucky enough to nab one!). The restaurant was spectacular — the food and service was great. We both loved how the Art Deco theme in the hotel carries throughout everything. We also both love the historic photos and things from the area before the dam was built—very interesting! Lastly, the music was fantastic as well — it set such a romantic atmosphere for the whole building (but that’s speaking as someone who really loves music from the 40s and 50s!).
We were impressed by the home from home feel when we entered the hotel.
The Manager was on hand welcoming guests which was nice.
We ate breakfast on both mornings and found everything to be nicely served and tasty,also the staff were very pleasant and nothing was too much trouble for them.
The background music was very relaxing and the views from the hotel were stunning
Could not fault this place in anyway. Food was fabulous, room was beautiful, views from our room and hotel were amazing. Staff helpful and cheerful. In all honesty for a night away and some piece and quiet this is the place to stay. Loved every mionute and will certainly return. Thanks Haweswater Hotel!
The location excellent but really is in the middle of no where all the roads single track with passing points I saw my first ever red squirrel. So for me it was worth it drive slowly red squirrels every where.Also it was an 1940s hotel so if your of that era you may remember It however was not mine..
Just a fantastic hotel. Some hotels say they are pet friendly when really they are pet tolerant. This place really is pet friendly and have clearly gone out of their way to think about what works best eg separate dining rooms for owners with pets.
Lovely setting and tasteful décor. Room was pleasant and cosy enough. We didn't dine at the hotel although they seemed keen to get us to do so. Breakfast was average. One young female member of staff was very friendly and helpful.
Firstly, the location is stunning. The hotel has a great history with a lovely ambiance. We had the tasting menu, which was nicely timed between courses with each course explained by the attentive waiting staff.
Fantastic location with breathtaking views if in front of hotel. Loved the whole art deco atmosphere. Felt like being in an agatha christie novel. Great breakfast.
