    Not much in entertainment as on our stay the satellite went down so not even a television to watch.

    The views and the calm atmosphere.. The food was very good. The food menu was good but not geared up for vegetarians.

    Fantastic hotel and fantastic surroundings. Excellent breakfast with perfect service. Everything was superb and we really recommend a stay here. Only problem was that we only booked one night. We would have liked to stay longer.

    Room cleanliness could have been a lot better, in particular , dust and sweet wrapper under bed, shower tiles grimy. The main issue was basic cleanliness.

    On returning very friendly staff as always

    I didn't use the spa as I was primarily wanting to walk and relax with my grown up children who live here while I live in South Africa. The breakfast was good with one exception - today someone ate all the pastries - maybe some frozen croissants for emergencies? the restaurant produces excellent quality and quantity meals. Thank you.

    Room was extremely warm and therefore didn't sleep very well, had to open windows to circulate some fresh air. Would rather this though, than be too cold.

    Loved the surprise champagne and upgrade to our room for our silver wedding anniversary. The lovely desert "happy anniversary" chocolates. Staff were very attentive and welcoming. Grounds were stunning. Facilities, well kept. Hot tub outdoors with well-kept gardens.

    I wish the more informal Courtyard Brasserie had been open from 4.30 or 5 in the evening cos it would have been the perfect place for young families to have their evening meal.

    Armathwaite Hall is a lovely hotel that manages to maintain its history and grandeur while having every modern comfort. The staff are so friendly and helpful, dogs are made very welcome and the setting is just gorgeous. The spa is great. We were a family of a granny, two couples, one single, a toddler and a dog and we all had a great time and were helped at every turn by the staff. It's not cheap but it's lovely. Our second trip, can't wait to go back.

    No air con in room. Service at dinner took 45 minutes - but meal was lovely.

    The spa, especially the hot tub overlooking the garden. Very helpful & welcoming receptionist. Pleasant garden to stretch your legs in.

    From the very first sighting of Armathwaite, we just fell in love with it. Every member of staff were just beyond welcoming, helpful and kind to my husband and I. We were celebrating my husband's 60th and they just blew us away with the little extra"s that they did for him! The room was spectacular with a breathtaking and uninterrupted view of the lake and tree covered hills! The evening meal was delicious and so very well presented as was the breakfast delivered to the room in the morning.The outdoor pool was a delight to be in! All in all, we class this as a 1st class, 5 star getaway and we are thankful to the hotel and staff. Anne Marie and Russell.
