The hotel is in a very good location, between Windermere and Bowness, a little closer to Bowness. It is a beautiful B&B, the view outside the window is very relaxing, and the breakfast is touchingly rich.

The feeling of an English country villa is very cozy. When traveling with a family, we thought that three people would squeeze into one bed, but when we came back, we found that the service staff had put up a folding bed. The service staff was very nice. If there was no service staff after 7pm, you could call if you needed anything, and enter and exit the hotel by yourself with the key. The restaurant is warm and clean, the service is good, and the dishes are also rich. It has its own independent parking lot. I will recommend it to my friends.

Overall it's pretty good, the location is also good, not far from the main pier and the train station. Breakfast is purchased in advance and placed at the front desk, and you just need to sit down and wait for breakfast the next day. The room is clean

British country style, 11 rooms in total, the room is a little small for a family of three, but very clean and warm, breakfast is delicious, service is good, cost-effective, 10 minutes walk from Windermere train station, 20 minutes walk from Bowness Lake

The room is very stylish. Our room was fine except for the street which was noisy. I especially recommend breakfast. You need to book with the front desk before 6pm the night before. It is freshly made in the morning and very delicious! You can't miss it. The hotel is in a good location, walking distance to the train station and Bowness.

Hygiene: The room is generally clean
Facilities: The bed is a bit too soft, which may be a common problem in British hotels
Environment: The house environment is very creative and very good
Service: The breakfast supply efficiency is not high, it is recommended to go early and wait, otherwise it will easily affect the trip

Booked a superior king-size bed room, but was given two ordinary single beds. Just enough to stay for one night. No red wine. Good breakfast

I really like this kind of family hotel in the UK. The surrounding area is quiet, convenient and comfortable to live in. It is the house of my dreams.

This hotel I stayed in during my trip to Mount Emei with my friends was pretty good!
The hotel has a good location, convenient travel, and pleasant surrounding scenery. The environment is even more beautiful, a hotel hidden in the forest.
The forest hot spring is quite good, soaking in the natural atmosphere, and the fatigue is swept away. The room is clean and tidy, the maintenance is also OK, the layout is warm, and it gives people an excellent living experience.
The most praiseworthy thing is the service attitude of the staff. From the moment I stepped into the hotel, they greeted me with warm, professional and caring service. Whether it is answering questions or providing help, they are quick and thoughtful, which makes people feel warm.
Here, I enjoyed a comfortable environment, high-quality service, and spent a good time. Highly recommended to everyone!

It was a very pleasant trip. I stayed two nights with my family. The staff was friendly and enthusiastic. The hotel facilities were complete and clean. It was beautifully decorated inside and out, and the details were thoughtful. I will definitely stay here again when I come to the Lake District next time.

The overall environment of the Lake District is beautiful. The Howbeck Hotel is a converted single-family villa with a strong British retro style. It is clean and tidy and has a good style. The breakfast is also very good. The overall experience is great 👍🏻

The bed type on the page is described as a ≥1.81m bed, but it is actually a 1.5m bed. The hotel has no elevator, so all luggage has to be carried up the stairs. The receptionist has a very bad attitude and looks down on Chinese people.
