Excellent staff, food was amazing however food served on 3 very badly chipped plates, thick cobwebs in bathroom and someone else’s clothes left in the room from the previous night. Lovely hotel and have stayed several times but needs some attention to detail

Single person whilst very hard working, cheerful and helpful was responsible for the running of the hotel on his own. That means 24 hours of the day and night! There was no dining option on arrival or for the second night. Chef arrived for breakfast only.

We stayed at the Ryebeck Hotel on Saturday, 25th October, at a cost of £428. The location is lovely, and the public areas are quaint and nicely presented. However, the rooms were quite small. In both rooms, the windows were open and one wouldn’t close properly. The bathroom radiators didn’t work, so it was cold.
We were given two options for breakfast times and chose 9:45 am, not realising the clocks had gone back. When we arrived earlier, we couldn’t be accommodated, and when we returned at the booked time, nothing had been set up for us. Everything therefore took longer than expected — although the food itself was good.
At this price point, guests should have a little more flexibility, especially with breakfast times. The manager needs to be more accommodating — when you’re charging premium rates, the customer experience should reflect that.

A Gem In The Lake District
We found this hotel and it’s an absolute gem!
Nestled above Lake Windermere, it has a lovely atmosphere and comfy rooms. We had both dinner and breakfast there and they were both tasty and to a high standard. Staff were friendly and helpful at all times.
We would definitely stay there again
