This is a perfect hotel. Everything is perfect. Loved the decor, staff, food melts in your mouth. And the housekeepers are amazing, in particular as most of the walks you will take in the area leave you covered in mud. I cannot recommend this place enough. Everything is impeccable.

Beautiful hotel

Hotel and gardens are absolutely beautiful. Rooms and public areas very clean and comfortable. Furnishings entirely in keeping with the period house. Breakfast lovely but not outstanding. We were disappointed that we went to sit on the beautiful terrace for a drink just before 5pm, so it wasnt busy, but took 45 minutes to be served with a drink, and that was after going to the bar to ask. Our expectations from this hotel were high, and the service from the bar staff let it down.

Everything as we expected - absolutely wonderful stay. Friendly, courteous. Attentive staff. Just what we needed for our 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Our honeymoon was at The Sharrow Bay Hotel on Ullswater and Hambleton Hall brought back the memories of a true country house hotel.
