Top Skelwith Force Hotel Reviews

The Three Shires Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Another great stay at Three Shires. Although a limited evening menu, food was delicious. Breakfast was the same, maybe put out juices and jams so people can help themselves. Didn’t mind that there wasn’t cereals as the portion of breakfast was huge. Big shout out to the staff"

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and warm. They accommodated an early checkin and held our suitcases for us after checkout. Victor had local knowledge of the cruises and cycle hire. Will be staying here again"

The Waterhead Inn - The Inn Collection group

8/10 Good

"generously given free room upgrade with excellent views over the lake. managed to get a parking space on each occasion required. only slight drawback was the speed of service for the evening meal. the staff were very good but there was a long wait between each course"

The Temperance Inn, Ambleside. The Inn Collection Group

8/10 Good

"Decent place to stay and good value for money so would recommend. No car parking which is made clear so no argument with that, however it’s worth being aware that Ambleside is busy so I ended up parking some distance away. Only negative would be the 8am breakfast time, as it was too late, so had to miss out both days. Annoyingly, the Ambleside in which is 100m away and owned by the same group is 7.30am which would have worked. Overall a decent place though"

Lakehouse at The Waterhead Inn

8/10 Good

"At the fringes of the town, so it’s quieter. There is no lifts at Lakehouse so please ensure you get the ground floor if you have difficulty climbing stairs, especially with big luggage."

Windermere Rooms at The Wateredge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Sarah was amazing at multitasking. Superb service. Very spacious rooms. So clean and well maintained. Breakfast included. Dog friendly. Great views."

Waterhead Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Easy self check in, clean and lovely room and bathroom."

Brantfell House

10/10 Excellent

"Bed and pillows very comfortable, room tastefully decorated and clean. Stairs upto bedrooms. Parking at rear. Lovely breakfast and hand made starter with fresh fruits and granola/ yogurt."

Wateredge Inn- The Inn Collection group

10/10 Excellent
