Lovely hotel with stunning views. The big plus is the food - breakfast was excellent and dinner both nights was really enjoyable. It’s in a great location to explore the northern part of the Lakes. Some parts of the hotel could do with a bit of TLC. Staff are really good, would definitely recommend.

Comfortable stay

It was a comfortable stay with great hospitality. The room could have been cleaner - crumbs, dust and someone’s shoe under the sofas. Cobwebs on walls and ceilings. The bathrooms smelled a little mildewy/damp, probably due to lack of windows, so would benefit from some air fresheners.

The breakfast and dinner were good. The location is also good convenient drive to Keswick and Cockermouth. However on the downside the hotel has staffing issues and so the service at breakfast and dinner were very slow. In addition, our two rooms booked were not cleaned on day 2. In addition, the swimming pool is restricted to rwo hours in the morning per day and so not good. Overall a poor to average hotel.

What a location, what a place, wonderful staff

This stay was amazing. A family break for my wife’s birthday. The location and accommodation is amazing and the all the staff and service was simply wonderful. A special shout out to Mags on reception, a very warm and friendly welcome. Thoroughly recommended. Also worth noting that you can take your dogs if you have want to! I don’t have any, just thought it was worth the mention. Absolutely amazing cooked breakfast, we will be returning. Thank you so much. Well done to all the staff. We loved it

Comfortable self catering unit

3 day stay at Embleton Spa at end of August 23. Stayed in Skiddaw apartment - 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom self catering unit. Breakfast included. Good - great kitchen, tasty breakfast and dinners (we ate 2 dinners at the hotel) Spa - pool good, but tried to book treatments, and spa therapist never responded to calls. Room - spacious. Indoors nice, cleanliness acceptable. Outdoor - Large outdoor area, but this was quite filthy - did not seem to have been cleaned in past few weeks. Parking - ample parking at hotel at no additional charges.

Disappointed spa break

Booked for my partners 60th birthday as a spa break, no spa treatment room on site if wanting treatments had to book with a private company who would come to the bedroom which was on the small side, the view looked onto the bins on the side of the hotel could only use the swimming pool at certain times of the day as it was used for swimming lessons for a different company, no light meals served throughout the day. The room we stayed in had paper thin walls no sleep for two nights as could hear the snoring from next door, creaking floorboards from upstairs, the whole experience was very disappointing, not the spa hotel experience I was expecting. Children and dogs over taking the place definitely not relaxing.

Disappointing Stay

Arrived to check in which I thought went smoothly to then find out that the apartment we booked did not have an infant bed as requested and was previously acknowledged on the booking. The apartment had a cotbed which our toddler would not fit in. Another cotbed was brought up until staff were told yet again that an infant bed was required. This was frustrating as it unsettled our toddlers bedtime routine. Once asleep the noise from upstairs with the banging footsteps on the floorboards was continuous until after midnight. Breakfast was the a disaster in the morning as the majority of the order was incorect with no orange juice, no granola and porridge wrong which was seeved with wrong toppings and whole milk which I was not informed when it was presented even though staff were clearly told 5 mins prior regarding a dairy allergy. This was then returned to then wait for it to be corrected with no apology.

We had a lovely one night stay. We were warmly greeted and our room was spacious, up quite a few stairs so beware if you have heavy cases. We enjoyed a swim in the pool and used the hot tub. A well equipped gym was also available. The pool was very clean and a pleasant temperature. These facilities were all included in the room price but there is a limited timetable when you can use the pool due to lesson and member sessions. We ate dinner at the hotel which was very tasty and well presented. Prices were average for the places we stayed this year. There was a good menu choice including specials. Before dinner we sat out in the terrace deck enjoying the beautiful views and peace. It was also entertaining to watch the car park comings and goings of children arriving for swimming lessons. This does mean parking could be difficult if guests arrive at the same time lessons are happening. Breakfast was delicious, ordering your hot meal choice the day before. Cereal and toast were also available. We slept well, although the bed was firmer than I am used to. The bathroom was clean and the shower worked well. I would recommend this hotel to others and would stay here again.
