Breakfast was very good although there were a lot of supplimentary costs for some dishes which was a little disappointing as breakfast was included in the cost.

Good breakfast.
Location is a long way from the main part of the village, but very quiet.

The road (4 miles) to Bampton from Shap is extremely narrow with few passing places here and there and has to be driven with great care because you can meet buses, lorries and farm vehicles. The road (2 miles) from Bampton to Haweswater is equally narrow and has to be driven with great care.

Haweswater Hotel is miles from anywhere so a lot of driving needed , as for all the Lakes I presume. Perfect if you want peace and quiet, great views and wonderful walks. Bampton village itself is very small with few facilities.

The area is quiet, accessed by narrow lanes all worth exploring . The hamlet of Bampton sold the cheapest petroleum for miles. Locals were delightful. Be prepared to travel for 30-50 minutes to reach other key locations in The Lakes.

If like me you are not a seasoned walker take the lower walk at the bottom of the reservoir which snakes around a peninsula and gives unbelievable views. Eat dinner at the Hotel during your stay the food and services are top quality. Weather permitting take time to have a drink on the seats at the front/side of the Hotel and just enjoy the peace.

Excellent base location for walkers who want to get straight out on to the fell. Haweswater and the surrounding hills are a perfect jumping off point for those wanting to join high street and other ranges in the lakes.

Lovely drive to a stunning location.
Lovely drive to a stunning location. Takes you to a peaceful relaxing place in a lovely building. Great staff, beautiful decor and gorgeous suites.
Food was excellent and service was perfect. Enjoyed every moment and wish we had stayed longer x
Great view out the front of the hotel (and probably the rooms in front if you’re lucky enough to nab one!). The restaurant was spectacular — the food and service was great. We both loved how the Art Deco theme in the hotel carries throughout everything. We also both love the historic photos and things from the area before the dam was built—very interesting! Lastly, the music was fantastic as well — it set such a romantic atmosphere for the whole building (but that’s speaking as someone who really loves music from the 40s and 50s!).
we arrived to a warm welcome, check in was smooth and no issues, our room was on the top floor, quirky lay out but nice, huge comfy bed tea coffee all you could ask for, we have drinks in the bar before changing for dinner, We ate dinner in the Brassiere, then retired to the launch for drinks, service and food was as expected of the Hotel credentials.Breakfast was served opposed to a buffet which suits our needs, shame about the boxed cereals we would have expected something different.
We were impressed by the home from home feel when we entered the hotel.
The Manager was on hand welcoming guests which was nice.
We ate breakfast on both mornings and found everything to be nicely served and tasty,also the staff were very pleasant and nothing was too much trouble for them.
The background music was very relaxing and the views from the hotel were stunning
The location was incredible, the scenery was stunning, and the Hotel was probably the finest I have ever had the fortune to stay in.
The Art Deco interior was just fantastic, and the attention to detail with regards to the interior design was outstanding. The food was delightful and the staff were so helpful and cheerful. I can't wait to return one year.
The location, the views, the lovely dining room and tasty breakfast.
The wooden staircase and general feeling of history in the hotel was lovely.
The bed was very comfortable and the balcony off our room was lovely to relax with a glass of wine.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful, apart from the older man who was at reception when we arrived.
The location was beautiful, the drive in was a little trick on essentially a single lane road but it was beautiful. The staff were exceptional, as were the meals in the hotel itself. They have a nice little pub area, beautiful benches and tables outside overlooking the loch and the main dinner was delicious with a nice selection of wine.
Could not fault this place in anyway. Food was fabulous, room was beautiful, views from our room and hotel were amazing. Staff helpful and cheerful. In all honesty for a night away and some piece and quiet this is the place to stay. Loved every mionute and will certainly return. Thanks Haweswater Hotel!
Spectacular views. Staff..Nicky was super friendly and efficient. Seemed to cover lots of jobs, front of house, bar etc. Found older front of house 'Nick' unfriendly.. no please or thank you. Acted like we were bothering him. So young Nicky was an absolute saviour for the hotel

Epic. A hugely evocative hotel due to carefully curated furnishings (the result of a singular vision?). Very good restaurant. Our room was large, well appointed and had impressive views of the reservoir through all three windows. Excellent staff.
The hotel is in such a lovely location, and beautifully decorated in an art- deco style. I found them
very dog friendly which is crucial for me! The food was delicious too.
The staff were all lovely, the hotel location is amazing. The food is delicious. Breakfast was spot on made even better by the view and watching birds through the window.
The hotel was great with amazing views across the reservoir. My dog was made to feel really welcome too!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner were absolutely amazing!
