Hotels Near Backbarrow Iron Works in Haverthwaite

Booked through ******* where this hotel had a rating of 9. I would put at nearer a 7. Rooms were ok….clean and comfortable enough. En-suite was nice as had been refurbed. Communal areas tired. Breakfast area and restaurant more like a cafe. I had the garlic mushrooms with lemon and time on bruschetta with a side salad, this was a starter as a main. Really weird flavor….really didn’t enjoy. Creamy garlic mushrooms would have been nicer….the bruschetta wasn’t toasted hardly and was soggy…£9. Hubby lasagne was nice £17. Noticed someone getting sausage and mash in a smallish bowl. Two sausages and a bit of mash….£19.50! 😳 Also saw on the menu a cheesecake dessert was £9.50!!! Expensive and average! Breakfast was awful….cold plates, barely cooked bacon and sausage….hash browns that you couldn’t even cut into….just not nice! Staff were friendly enough but on arrival our tv wasn’t working….husband went down twice to advise….as he was desperate to watch the football. Was told it would be 8pm (2 hours) before anyone could help. Was offered another room instead but when he went to look at it he said it was a bit grim dark and dingy so stayed where we were and managed to get tv going. Then we realised we weren’t given the WiFi password when checked in so back down to reception he went….more than a little annoyed by this time! Anyway overall as I said just bang average….just off a really busy road too so road noise from our room was bad too….the header photo on ******* had a water view so that’s where we thought it was set. Wouldn’t stay again…..would have rather spent my money elsewhere….costly average experience 👎

Disappointing trip overall. We was due to check in at 3pm, when we arrived the staff informed us that our room wasn’t clean and ready for us. We eventually got into our room at 4.45pm, shocking really when we had a baby and spent £300 for one night. The room looked tired, also had no curtain on the window. When we raised our concerns to the deputy manager, she gave attitude and didn’t seem to handle the situation correctly. We come to the lakes every year and stay at the Beech Hill however I’m afraid this will be our last stay. However, even though are stay wasn’t great, I would like to mention the restaurant manager and restaurant staff who was very friendly and delivered a great 3 course meal.

First time back at this splendid hotel since my daughter had her wedding there 10 years ago which I have to say was amazing, but I have to say it’s not looking as good as it was, I feel it’s looking a little tired in places some of the furniture in the lounges is looking past it’s best and grubby, our room was nice though, clean and comfortable, our evening meal was good but breakfast could of been better the food had obviously been cooked well before we went to breakfast, the staff were very pleasant, I just hope the owners don’t let it slip too bad it would be such a shame

This is a family hotel, I didn't notice it when I booked it. The room was clean and it was a 15-minute walk from the ferry in the town. The landlord had a lot of rules: for example, you can't bring food from the restaurant back to the room, put your shoes on the tray, check out at 10 o'clock, and you can't store your bag after checking out.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lovely cosy hotel, our room was very comfortable, shower was good as was the bath. Bed was very comfortable and we slept well both nights. It was very quiet. Breakfast was brought to your door in the morning at a time convenient for you and was really nice, choice of cereal, hot roll, yoghurt, juice, tea or coffee. There is a kettle with tea, coffee and milk in the room too. Wifi was good. Our host Jenny was super and very helpful with walks in the area. All in all I would definitely recommend staying here. Don't let the signs of building work outside put you off..it was not an issue at all.

The hotel was clean and tidy , and room was adequate for our stay , bed was very comfortable . The staff were very friendly and helpful ,in reception and dining room .The Breakfast was a buffet selection ,self service , with Tea or Coffee, good selection to choose from .The dinner menu was also good ,with a choice of Starters ,Mains & Desserts ,all good wholesome food of a pub type menu. After a day out ,went for a drink in the Ossett Head Bar in the hotel grounds , nice pleasant ambient setting , this was the only time , it never opened again for the duration of our stay. The only other bar is in the dining room , and this was only open , during meal times , no soft furnishings , only dining tables . dont know if you could take drinks from there , into the guest lounge ,never informed. Plentiful supply of Tea & Coffee in room ,which you had to replenish from reception . i am now Tea Total & Alcohol Free after this mini vacation .

What a little gem this place is. One of the most comfortable beds I have slept in room was spacious for us and our two children with a great sized bathroom. We stayed for two nights and as we were travelling from Glasgow after work we were later than the 7pm check in but where left clear communication on how to access our room. We were greeted by Sophie and Luke in the morning for a massive full English breakfast which was amazing. Sophie was so knowledgeable about the local area and recommended places for us to visit and eat. The location of the guest house was ideal for the zoo and beaches and we were minutes walk from local restaurants and takeaways. Room was equipt with tea/coffee facilities and towels were a brilliant size couldn't fault anything and would definitely return

Our granddaughter has always wanted to go to Pendle in Lancashire so as she is heading off to uni this weekend, we decided to treat her to a night away. We stayed one night at the Travelodge and we had a lovely stay. Brilliant price, clean room with comfy beds & tea/coffee making facilities. We left Pendle & spent a few lovely hours in Morecambe watching the sunset then headed to the lodge for the night. Next day we went into Carnforth enjoying breakfast in the Brief Encounter cafe on the station platform. Drove across the Pennines on the A66 to Darlington to see family and headed back to Stoke on the M1. A very memorable experience & Britain at its best in the sunshine! Hoping to stay at the same lodge to then head up to the west of Scotland.
