We spent a one night stay at Armathwaite Hall Hotel and immediately wished it was for longer...The reception staff were exceptionally welcoming, indeed all staff were friendly and helpful. Fortunately, the Lake View resturant was open for dinner during our stay; the food was delightful, well presented and perfectly proportioned. The spa was lovely, especially, the outdoor jacuzzi overlooking the gardens; which seemed a big hit with all of the guests...Overall we had a wonderful, restful stay and we fully intend to return in the very near future.

Decent staff, stay and property - the outdoor heated pool area was the best space but unfortunately the tattiest with missing tiles and in need of a little extra care.

Retirement treat….!

Absolutely superb from start to finish. The property itself is fantastic - traditional and characterful but with contemporary modern facilities. The spa is excellent and attention to detail second to none. Food was delicious from breakfast to evening meal. The staff are exemplary and special thanks to Fiona on front desk for the upgrade which really made our stay that bit extra special. Thankyou. Will definitely return soon

Hotel looks great from the outside and the house inside is very grand. Not obvious where the reception was (no sign). Check in was easy. Found the room tricky to find due to lack of signage. Room was clean and well presented but dated and felt very basic for the price. Went to The Grill restaurant - food was average and overpriced. We had breakfast included - buffet continental/ fresh cooked hot breakfast. Well I say fresh - bacon was rock hard as well as the black pudding - could have been a lot better. Staff didn't seem bothered overall about service. Didn't particularly feel welcomed (apart from check in). Drinks also expensive for what you get. Overall a good hotel but definitely not 4*

We have just returned from a beautiful weekend here. The whole experience from start to finish has been nothing but perfect. The garden view suite was stunning comfortable and relaxing and had everything you need. We dined at the grill in the evening which was delicious and the staff were so attentive. We visited the spa twice I loved how you could go whenever you wanted without needing to book. The infinity pool was lovely and relaxing! Breakfast was also delicious with lots of choice. We can't wait to return in the future. Thank you!
