Lovely Hotel in a Great Location

10.0

All the staff were friendly and helpful, from the initial booking and arrival through to the end of our stay. The hotel was easy to find, and our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a lovely, well-kept garden view. There was something to suit everyone at the cold breakfast buffet, and the cooked-to-order hot options were of good quality as well. The location was perfect for us, just a short stroll from the lakeside. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant, we’ll definitely be visiting again.

Birthday Break

4.0

I had informed reception that I was treating my partner to a birthday break away and was told room 25 was a beautiful room, all I can say is beauty is in the eye of the beholder! My heart fell when we entered to find heavy dull greeny brown curtains a tall black old fashioned fireplace, not what we were expecting for a 4* hotel. I had perused all the photos on the website showing beautiful bright colourful rooms and was extremely disappointed. We had looked forward to going out for a meal and returning to the hotel for a nightcap, but, not to be, the bar closed at 8.30 p.m!! There was no mention of this in the brochure and had I known I would not have booked this hotel. I will end on the plus points, friendly helpful staff, and a very good cold buffet and cooked breakfast.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night and we had a lovely time! The staff were super attentive and gave us a warm welcome. The location couldn’t be better and included parking which is handy. The breakfast was incredible and really yummy. We both would love to stay here again

Stayed for 3 nights between Christmas and New Year. Booked last minute as let down by other accommodation. Staff and hotel warm and welcoming on arrival. Excellent sized clean and warm room. Breakfast outstanding. Perfect location only short walk to lake and town. Will stay again.

Hidden gem

10.0

We stayed at Burn How for 2 nights in November, arriving on Saturday evening. We were allocated room 25 on the ground floor and the hotel was busy but given a parking space outside a room that was being refurbished. The room was a good size, shower over the bath and nice warm radiators. The bed was pretty comfy and the room welcoming, overlooking a garden area. The location of the hotel is great, about a 5-7 minute walk to the centre of Bowness where there are many pubs, bars and restaurants. The lake is even closer. Breakfast was very good, and had just about everything as an option. The staff were lovely and I can’t fault the service and friendliness we received. When in the area again, hopefully when it’s not as wet, we would definitely stay at Burn How again as the location is perfect for exploring the lakes.
