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!).
I cannot imagine a more idyllic location. This should be a movie set it’s so beautiful. From the staff to the original art deco details and the gorgeous gardens it’s hard to believe this place is real. The food was absolutely amazing: breakfast, lunch, and both dinner restaurants. Beautiful and comfortable common rooms and exquisite scenery. I want to move in to this hotel.
The location, the views, the lovely dining room and tasty breakfast.
The wooden staircase and general feeling of history in the hotel was lovely.
The bed was very comfortable and the balcony off our room was lovely to relax with a glass of wine.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful, apart from the older man who was at reception when we arrived.
The location was beautiful, the drive in was a little trick on essentially a single lane road but it was beautiful. The staff were exceptional, as were the meals in the hotel itself. They have a nice little pub area, beautiful benches and tables outside overlooking the loch and the main dinner was delicious with a nice selection of wine.
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 of the hotel was unbelievable, the viwes from the hotel unforgettable.
The staff were excellent so lovely and could not do enough for us. Service in the restaurant was perfect and so proffesinal. Loved the stay and can't wait to go back.
Lovely hotel. Great place to stay if you want to get away from it all.
Just be careful and check your SATNAV as it took me down a road with warning signs saying that your vehicle is not insured if you drive on this road. Go via Shap on the A6.
The hotel is absolutely beautiful. It has everything you could need for a quiet night away. The staff were amazing and the food in the evening was gorgeous. Views were amazing and it was so quiet, nothing around for miles.
The hotel is in such a lovely location, and beautifully decorated in an art- deco style. I found them
very dog friendly which is crucial for me! The food was delicious too.
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.
The hotel was great with amazing views across the reservoir. My dog was made to feel really welcome too!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner were absolutely amazing!
