Skelsmergh and Scalthwaiterigg Vacation Rentals

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Gem — A Perfect Lakeside Escape! From the moment we arrived, Lakeside Hotel & Spa exceeded every expectation. The entire property was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and the staff were not only friendly but genuinely warm and extremely helpful throughout our stay. Our room was simply perfect — a wonderful view of the lake greeted us every morning, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the silence at night was pure bliss. No traffic, no noise, just the tranquil sounds of nature. We slept better than we have in years! Breakfast was a real highlight — a lovely spread with plenty of choice, fresh and delicious. We also dined at the restaurant in the evening and were thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food. One of our favourite moments was relaxing in the charming courtyard with a cold draught beer, a gentle breeze in the air, while our daughter played happily in front of us watching the ducks. It's the kind of effortless, joyful experience that's hard to find. Activities like boating are available right on-site, so you truly never need to leave — and honestly, you won't want to. The hotel has everything you need to simply unwind and recharge. What sets Lakeside apart, above all, is its people. The staff take evident pride in their work, support each other beautifully as a team, and create an atmosphere that feels both grand and genuinely welcoming. We will absolutely be returning. Highly, highly recommended — a truly special place. 🌿"

"Generally very good with nice room, bar area, restaurant and gardens. Staff very helpful particularly Ashley on Reception and Joy in the restaurant. Breakfast first class. Fantastic views of the lake from the hotel. My only concern with dining was the limited vegetarian options for my partner in the restaurant. The other disappointment was being charged £15 per day for parking when at the time of booking the parking was supposed to be included. As I had booked through Hotels. com I was informed nothing could be done and I had to pay the cost. It was an unfortunate end to a wonderful stay."

"Was a very pleasant stay, very friendly staff and very clean, food was reasonable priced "

"Nice hotel Shower needs updating"

"Clean room, very friendly reception desk. "

"Would definitely recommend, and aim to stay again next year. Lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings - far enough away from the busy Lake District hotspots to make it a peaceful stay, yet close enough to everywhere you might want to visit! Beautiful garden and pond, with friendly ducks. Clean throughout with spacious room and bathroom, and a comfortable bed. Great breakfasts with lots of choice. Only little niggle - it would be an added bonus to be able to have a cappuccino or latte choice at breakfast :)"

"Overall a nice hotel although showing signs a wear and could do with a little freshening up (doors, etc)"

"Nice and quiet! Sheep near the road. "

"We have stated here several times and once again everything was really good. Lovely hotel !"
