Wonderful location with great views of the estuary. Beautifully refurbished bar and dining area. We received a great welcome and every member of staff we met were friendly and attentive. Snacks at lunchtime, delicious. Dinner, outstanding. Comfortable room. Highly recommended.

The staff were excellent, nice and very helpful. Breakfast was average and the evening meals were adequate, but the hotel was lovely as you would expect from a country manor house, very quirky too. The room and especially the bathroom are superb, very cleanly kept too,
Would we go back ?
Probably would, It is expensive but for a special occasion it is somewhere we would consider again.

Levens is a pretty little place, narrow roads and lanes require care though it was not busy. I'd recommend the Hare and Hounds as a great place to eat, good food, friendly staff and reasonably priced.

I used Levens as a base and drove out each day to visit other parts of the Lake District. It’s a good location to get out onto the road and drive to other places. There did seem to be a local bus service but I didn’t use this so I’m not sure how frequent the buses are. I’d suggest that you really do need a car if you’re staying here.
The local area also seemed to have good options for things to do - eg Levens Hall.
Levens is a small, pretty village. The Hare and Hounds has parking so it was easy to park next to where I was staying. The pub is a friendly place to spend time.
I had Sunday dinner and breakfasts at the pub - the food is of a high quality and you can tell that great care is taken in preparing and presenting it. It’s good wholesome food.

With very helpful front desk staff, the ambience was relaxing and comfortable. The quality of the rooms (despite paying the upper price of those available) was ok, not that much better than a Premier Inn just smaller. Water pressure in the shower poor to the point that when inverted, the water flow almost stopped. Lots of unmentioned stairs, no lift, uneven car park. The meals were good (breakfast) to very good (a la carte dinner). Drinks reasonable selection but on the upper level of pricing, de rigueur for this sort of location, but within reason. Television remote wasn't working and the two replacements brought up didn't work either. Easy to find and nicely out of the way. if they were aiming for "shabby chic" they aren't far off.
We came back for another stay at Villa Levens after an amazing stay last year and it did not disappoint. We got to stay in the same room, the room was huge and had a lovely bathroom with a big bath and very powerful shower. The staff were all attentive and offered advice on where we could visit in the local area. We had a continental breakfast in the orangery and it was great. We will be back again as soon as we possibly can!
What a find! Everything was just great, would definatley recommend for a short break. Levens is a lovely place just a little way out of the tourist areas in the lakes. The breakfast and evening meal where really good and the rooms comfortable and stylish with tea/coffee facilities and a fridge. Staff are amazing!
the hotel was delightful, with beautiful architecture and information in the room about the history and surrounding area of the hotel.
the staff were welcoming and warm from the moment of arrival to the time of departure.
I would recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area.
the Hare and Hounds is in a quiet part of Levens and was an excellent choice for a short stay.
the evening meal and breakfast were well prepared with plenty of choice.
our room was quiet, spacious and spotlessly clean.
the bar was well stocked.
the staff were excellent.
Only problem was we didn't have long enough here so are going to have to re visit. Stayed here but wedding at villa Leven's. Rooms/staff/Breakfast first classing. Nothing not to like thanks
The staff at the hotel are exceptional. Everyone we encountered was more than happy to help us. The room was lovely. Lovely bath and shower. Nice grounds. Lovely breakfast. Well stocked bar.
Some of the staff were great and helpful, see below for the opposite.
The driveway, the fields around the hotel look lovely but the building itself looks a bit tatty in places.
We were amongst first guests after lockdown and it was quite obvious that the hotel/staff were in process of opening hotel after a long closure.
Location excellent for lakes.
