A wonderful three night stay. Could not have been better.

Weekend break

Had a really lovely time at Hillthwaite. Shown to our room. Fantastic view, really comfortable bed. Cold weekend and hotel was lovely and warm. Great location in between bowness and windermere.. Food was fantastic

Minor niggles let the hotel down

Good points
Nice location between Bowness and Windermere with lovely views.
Staff were all very pleasant and helpful.
Room we had was lovely with comfy bed, very clean, well furnished and a bathroom to die for.
Having the small leisure facility was welcome but it is very small.
Niggles
The restaurant seeks to give the impression of being up market but served cold porridge and another guest said he had the same issue.
Reakfast in general was table service but i prefer a buffet where you can have more than one slice of toast each.
Evening meals were included in our deal but based on our experience we wouldn't have been happy to pay the prices being charged on the nenu. I had beef bourginon special on the first night but there was hardly any meat in my serving, it had little potato and hardly any vegetables. I asked the waitress if I could have some of the sour dough bread to help but she returned with a slice of white pan loaf, seemed very mean. Similarly I opted for one of the specials on another night and it came with only 5 small cubes of roast potato to accompany the lamb, again very mean.
The cost of drinks was extortionate at over 6.00 for a pint of lager.
Whilst the pool area was nice it was disappointing that the shower was out of commission as was the steam room.

In general we loved our stay but to be honest not sure I would go for half board.

Beautiful

From arriving at the Hiltwaite with our Labrador, to finding a treat bag and welcome note purely for our dog..to the private sauna and pool (book in advance) from the staff who were absolutely amazing! Top class food with exceptional choice, to our room that even though was an allocated dog room, the room was beautiful, very clean and filled with complimentary extras.
I would totally recommend the Hiltwaite and will definitely return again.

A good find.

We had a very relaxing and pleasant few days at this hotel. Staff and accommodation were above expectation and food was really good. We would recommend this hotel.

Excelent hotel, beautiful room s fabulous food, wonderful staff. Recommend using your car to get around as hotel is at the top of a steep incline and challenging for people with mobility issues.
