Scopri il tuo soggiorno a Skelwith

A quick visit with wifey and hounds. We stayed for three nights in one of the scafell rooms. The accommodation was excellent nicely appointed clean and with a great view down the length of Windermere. Ambleside, which is a great little Lake District town, is a twenty minute walk away or if you drive the nearest car park is probably less than five minutes away. Access to the lake is via a short walk of maybe three or four hundred meters to a nice sheltered bit of the lake where we wild swam, chilly but damn fine. Overall, would we stay again, absolutely.

We went to to have a walk down to the Cathedral Cave and Slater's Bridge, then we stopped by this lovely pub in the village of Little Langdale. It has a good selection of local brews. It was very busy, but we found a vacant outdoor set and had some food and drinks. My wife said she had the best burger she ever had - it was venison. Parking is for customers only at the time of visit. You cannot park there, have a drink or whatever, then go off for a long walk. I'm sure the rooms are nice, but if you're not staying there, it's a very nice pub to visit.

We had high expectations given the supposed caliber of the hotel and that it is one of ‘The Leading Small Hotels in the World’ and were left incredibly disappointed by our stay. The rooms themselves are well decorated and the staff is lovely, however it misses the mark in multiple key areas.The main thing that lets the hotel down in the housekeeping. As can be seen on the pictures, our towels had stains on them, there was a shocking amount of mould in the shower, stains on the counter in the bathroom, the beds were not made neatly and we got to our room to find out that the complimentary snacks had already been eaten by someone. The next day we returned to the room after housekeeping had been in to find that the floor was dirty and had not been cleaned, used wine glasses (with lipstick marks and dregs of Champagne) had been put into a cupboard instead of being cleared away and what was clearly rubbish had been left on the table with a cloth messily tossed beside it. Despite bringing this to the attention of the reception staff, no replacement snacks were brought over or any effort made to make up for this. Later that evening we ordered some drinks to our room, and the member of staff who brought the drinks over (and to whom we had directed our feedback earlier in the day) gingerly asked if “maybe he should bring over some drinks if it is a celebration?”. This was a nice gesture on his part but honestly just felt awkward, and as if the idea just come to him in the moment. I wouldn’t be surprised if any gesture would have been made had we not ordered drinks and they were reminded that we were actually still staying there. In an attempt to enjoy the rest of our stay post the provision of the feedback to the hotel, we decided to use the private hot tub in our room (one of the main reasons we chose to stay in the hotel) only to find that it too had mould on the headrests, which is incredibly off-putting and to be quite frank, simply disgusting. To add to this, we were celebrating our engagement - something the hotel was aware of as it was mentioned (1) when we made the booking (2) when we made a dinner reservation and (3) when my fiancé called the hotel in advance to arrange for a bouquet of flowers for me. Despite this, we received not one “congratulations” from a member of staff throughout our stay. We also had to remind the staff that due to the way we booked we were supposed to receive complimentary glasses of sparkling wine on arrival, which on top of everything mentioned above, highlights a lack of attention that permeates across multiple areas of the hotel experience. Would not recommend.

My daughter and partner visited the Wateredge inn for a meal.parking in the car park which has always been free to park in over the last 20 years I’ve been visiting so she didn’t think to check the status of the car park. As she had been there with me earlier in the year no charges then. So they had a meal had some drinks and left happy. On returning home a week later, a parking charge for £60 from SMART PARKING arrives through the post. We contacted the company that owns the wateredge inn and the reply we got from them is more than unsatisfactory they basically said there’s nothing they can do about it you will have to appeal to smart parking any one ever tried that . So if you fancy a meal and a side order of parking charges, this is the place to go..if you don’t realise that you now have to pay for parking..I appreciate it’s an oversight on her behalf, but absolutely disgusting behaviour from an establishment I have spent quite a lot of money in over the years but never again. Especially as you now have to pay them for the privilege to spend money on their premises ..

We used to stay here when it was the Regent Hotel, but this has all changed now. The Regent no longer exists , and has been fully converted to bedrooms, with main building being across the road “ The Wateredge Pub” rooms are good. However. …..We had booked in for 3 nights, but had to move on our second day as the electrics in the room were faulty. It was only after we moved that I realised it was one of the rooms where they allow dogs, and I could smell a doggy smell. I wasn’t going to move again - too much hassle. It’s a shame there is no longer a comfortable lounge to sit and read etc. only the pub across the road. Breakfast was fine.( included in our stay ). But the evening meal are very expensive in my opinion. £ 18 for chicken and a corn on the cob……..chips etc cost extra. £17 for a pork chop and sauce .”……..all veg extra at £4:50 per portion for EACH veg. Ridiculous! Staff are very friendly . Would I stay again ? probably not I’m afraid. But it was ok.

It was good , location with amazing view , people, service, as I was going for solo travel , just small advice to put air fresheners inside the rooms

We stayed in September 23. We booked a room for 3. When we arrived we only found housekeeping who told us we had to go to the pub to check in. What they didn’t make clear is the lake house is up a very narrow driveway which is almost vertical. If you have mobility problems don’t go here unless you plan to drive up and down because it is not accessible for anyone who is not physically fit. We booked a double and a sofa bed. After scaling back up we were disappointed to find the sofa bed not made, we found a member of staff who sent someone with the bedding which was just dumped in the room. The room itself was large and the bathroom was very modern and clean. The drive was directly by the window and the other guests could see straight into the room. There was a family above our room and their child ran around from 6am. The noise was terrible. I would advise requesting a room on the higher floors because all we could see was trees. The pub and staff are all wonderful but the lake house isn’t worth the cost or the ridiculous trek up the very, very steep driveway.

Stayed 4 nights absolutely wonderful everybody was so very helpful Big Breakfast set you up for the day Room was so very comfortable couldn’t ask for any more Will definitely go again perfect location for touring the lakes Great view from our room
