Holbeck Ghyll

Beautiful rustic hotel, over looking lake Windermere. The hotel is beautiful, with gardens and lodges, and full of history. We stayed for 2 nights at the Miss Potter suite, which came with a hot-tub on the terrace which was absolutely amazing to relax in after a full day of walking! The sounds of local sheep/baby lambs and views of the nature were just pleasant to see and hear. The lodge has its own sofa area to relax in, which came with a coffee machine and fridge, again, over looking the lake with beautiful views of the sunset. The lodge was spacious and accommodated 2 adults and 2 children easily, and had its own car parking space. Lodges are spacious and clean. The manager was really attentive and welcoming. The breakfast was also good, ample choices on the menu from vegetarian option, to full English. All in all, great place to enjoy nature and admire the beautiful views of the Lake District in peace and quiet.

It is a very lovely hotel. It is up on a small hill and has a very good view of the landscape including the lake and a small farm. The cocktails are so nice, especially for Simon’s cocktail and Sarah’s special cocktail. The services are really nice as well. We enjoyed our trip here and stayed for three nights. The view is scenic and the food here is great. We only had breakfast but still it is very tasty and delicious.

My partner and I recently shared a wonderful wedding at Holbeck Ghyll and would recommend highly. From the start, we were welcomed very warmly by the fantastic team. We fell in love with the charm of the venue and character. Greg and Caleigh were extremely helpful as well as all staff who helped us at every stage of the process. The venue being exclusive use was fantastic. All guests had fantastic rooms on site. The wedding breakfast food was the best wedding breakfast many guests mentioned they had ever experienced. Many versatile rooms and outdoor spaces to utilise allowed great flexibility for wedding entertainment ideas. We were able to enjoy lawn games and dance a Ceilidh outside whilst the sunset with the most beautiful view of the lake and hills. Magical day!

We had a fantastic dinner at Holbeck Ghyll yesterday. From the starter to the dessert, everything was delicious — perfectly cooked, with wonderful flavors and combinations.

The location is stunning and we were seated in a small dinning area with wonderful views over Windermere. The afternoon tea was beautiful presented and delicious! It was traditionally decorated in keeping with the building. The staff did not seem very friendly or welcoming, they did not return at all to check how our food was and we had to go and look for staff to ask for more tea.

Visited for afternoon tea beautiful scenery the pork and apple sausage roll was probably the nicest sausage roll of tasted would definitely recommend and I will be going back to visit the restaurant one evening.

This is a very beautiful hotel in a fabulous location overlooking lake Windermere. The interiors are magnificent, the food excellent & imaginative & the service exceptional. We will be returning.

My fiancée and I went to holbeck Ghyll yesterday for an open day to book our wedding. Prior to arriving we read some recent negative reviews about the place and how “dated and un-clued” the staff were. We visited for around an hour and had a tour of the whole place. The negative reviews are mind blowing to me as I thought that it was absolutely beautiful there, we had a taster of some food, which was delicious and the hotel isn’t dated at all it’s very original and full of stunning British culture. We absolutely are booking our wedding here! The staff, the food, the location and the decorations inside were nothing short of perfect in my opinion. I already am so excited to visit again.
