Booked a night here for my wife's birthday. Perfect weekend away. Very comfortable suite (the Cottage in the Garden rooms). Fantastic food and drink and very good attentive but not intrusive service, not to mention a fantastic location with superb views. Yes, the place does not have a contemporary ambience and the fixtures and fittings, including 1970s coal effect gas... more

I was looking for somewhere special for a first anniversary and had always wanted to stay and eat at Sharrow Bay. Some of the reviews here nearly put me off - I am so glad that I took them with a pinch of salt. I asked for and got a discounted winter break rate of 45% off the normal price.... more

I'm going to keep this short (details of particular problems can be seen in all other reviews as ours was a similar experience). My husband booked this hotel as a special treat for my birthday. Unfortunately, it was neither special nor a treat. Location is fabulous, food was good but not amazing, hotel needs major updating. I'd try somewhere else... more

I am not a regular guest in hotels of this type so the relaxed style takes a little getting used to. However, I have no doubt that it suits the setting of the hotel very well, the staff acting like housekeepers in an old country estate. Room prices are high mid end rather than expensive yet you get a very... more

Sharrow Bay never stops to surprise me in its wonderful hospitality and service. The people are always welcoming, the timeless elegance of this place is unrivaled in the world. The setting has to be one of the best in the UK, if not in Europe - and that really states something. Long may it go on in this vein. A... more

My husband booked this hotel as a surprise for my 30th birthday. We had a delightful room, situated in Bank House, complete with a stunning view. Little touches such as private parking for residents only made it that little bit special. Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Especially Martin came across very welcoming and professional. Breakfast was as plentiful,... more

Stayed 1 night as a special treat for us following a family crisis. We have stayed her a few times although not for several years. The ethos so prominent under the ownership of the 2 original owners is but a distant memory. Yes, we enjoyed the food but the quality of staff and the hotel itself now leaves a lot... more

My husband and I stayed at The Sharrow Bay at the beginning of October, I had read some of the reviews and to be honest I had one or two little doubts creeping in as we set off from home. I can honestly say that we where highly impressed by the hotel from taking our first step into the hotel... more

First class service and a lovely room in Bank House added to the beautiful autumn weather to make our visit to this famous place just perfect. The public rooms and bedrooms are old country house style, more Wodehouse than art house, which suits me! Our ground floor room was large and comfortable with a fabulous view of Ullswater. The food... more

My husband had booked this hotel as my 40th birthday treat and also as a precious night away on our own. The hotel is in a lovely setting but upon arrival there was no staff to greet us and we had to wait in line to be checked in. My husband, when booking, had expressed his concerns to the hotel... more
