Hotel Backbarrow

« This was an excellent place to stay, with historic ironworks in front, whitewater in behind, and a real steam-engine train passing by that looked like something out of a story book. There are two flights of 17 steps each, for a total of 34 steps to get to the flat, and then 14 more inside the cottage to get to the bedroom.

« Personnel vraiment très accueillant. Chambre de belles dimensions pour le prix avec petit dej énorme inclus et parking gratuit. Grande salle de bains (toilettes dans la sdb).

« Nice spacious rooms. »

« we liked the pool and sauna facilities, the lovely veiw if the lake, »

« Lovely character hotel in a fabulous victorian country house. Great breakfast and a good dinner menu too. Would stay again. »

« Lovely room and a comfy bed, super friendly staff and a fantastic breakfast in the morning. Top notch all round! »

« Location excellent, staff well trained and excellent. Room was very good. Outside area had great views but some stained seat covers and lots of cracked tiles.

Cheeky £12 per day add on for parking your car in already overpriced hotel. Not quite 5 star but I think this is a self awarded rating and not AA affiliated. »

« Very clean room with everything we needed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. »

« Overall the stay was OK. Receptionist was not friendly and Wi-Fi connectivity was poor. »

« Comfortable spacious functional bedroom for a family of 4. We had a restful and comfortable stay »
