The food is excellent and the breakfast is outstanding. We were really looked after by very friendly staff. Excellent service. The rooms are a bit tired, this is the only reason why I do not give 5 out of 5.

First trip to Lake District and used Google to find hotel. Trip Advisor was helpful, too. Our room was a little high, but it was worth it. The staff is very attentive and helpful. We had a big breakfast each morning and ordered off the menu for dinner. The plating at night was very playful and modern. the sea bass... More

Customer service was for a high standard; nothing was too much bother for them - thank- you. Evening meal and breakfast were fantastic - talented chef/s in kitchen - yum yum! Garden was pretty with an added bonus of sitting in our room balcony watching the birds and squirrels feeding. Would recommend Burn How and we will definately return.

Lovely staff, charming hotel, great breakfast, spacious clean room, great location. Only complaint about the room was a poor mattress which... More

Great room, overlooking the garden in the old house. Room not modern, but perfect for the surroundings. Bathroom clean and new. We went on the trip advisor deal which included breakfast and dinner. Both were stunning, the three course meal was a real treat. Really great location close to the lake with parking, I would recommend for a romantic getaway

The hotel was first class in every respect and ticked all the boxes for a great stay in Bowness. The local was excellent, just two minutes from the Lakes. The rooms were quite big and tastefully furnished with great views overlooking the landscaped gardens. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and food was excellent and plenty of it. I... More

Stayed at Burn How for two nights at the end of April. First impressions not great, the hotel is more of a motel, chalet type rooms separate from the main building housing the reception, bar and restaurent. Rooms tidy, but tired looking. Hot water not consistant. Bar consisted of a chiller cabinet with a few bottles, no beers or soft... More
