Hotel was nice although the pool was cold and the steam room wasn't working. My room was ground floor and as a solo female traveller, I would've preferred a room on 1st floor or above but it was clean and an ok size for one person. Food was great, very good selection for breakfast and all cooked fresh. Good, walkable distance from town with good public transport links to other areas.

We were thrilled with our choice of Hillthwaite. It has a central location near to both Windermere and Bowness yet high enough on a hill to have views of Lake Windermere from rooms and public spaces. The hotel is beautifully organized with several public lounges: sun room, library, bar/lounge and restaurant–all of which feature Lake views, as well as outdoor terraces. We had a view of the Lake from our large "occasion" room. The room was lovely with chairs and a table to take in the view. The bathroom had a tub and a separate shower–great pressure and temperatures and good lighting. We ate two dinners and breakfasts plus coffees and beverages at the hotel. The staff was attentive and professional. The meal times were organized to not overwhelm the kitchen: the food was timely and delicious. After a series of BnBs, we were looking for a resort/spa hotel and the Hillthwaite surpassed our expectations. Highly recommend the hotel and also a visit to Blackwell, a 1908 Arts and Crafts house outside of Bowness.

overall very good
the hotel was spotlessly clean and welcoming when we arrived. Although at the top of a steep hill and hotel has no lift bear that in mind for those who have any walking difficulties. Food was good but a tad too expensive ie £9 for a plate of soup! bed was very comfortable and warm, good sound proofing with adequate clothes space for a few days.
