The hotel itself is pretty dated and could do with a lick of paint. We stayed in a cabin which unfortunately when we arrived it looked like the bathroom had been missed when cleaned. The cabin itself was pretty dusty. Blinds thick dust on them and most were broken so didnt shut properly. Outside area would of benefited from a good sweep around.
Staff in breakfast restaurant were pretty mute but bar staff and reception were very friendly and did do there best to sort bathroom issues out.

We had a brilliant overnight stay whilst travelling up to Scotland, lots of parking. I have mobility issues and my husband is waiting for a new hip. The staff went that extra mile to help including chairs with arms in the dining room.
The food was excellent and waiting staff very attentive both in the evening and at breakfast.
Our room on the ground floor was excellent with a very comfy bed and quiet.
We will definitely stay there again and maybe longer it was so good.

I booked 2 rooms we were allocated rooms 12/14 on 2nd floor which were OK but could do with a revamp.Room 14 had a iron but no ironing board room 12 had a ironing board but no iron so we ending up sharing. Extractor fan not working in bathroom number 12.Both rooms had a view facing the main road and the traffic was constant from 5am.Car alarm going off several times during the night did not help sleeping (I know it was not the hotels fault).Breakfast was OK tea was luke warm from dispenser. Overall our stay was OK but having spent over £550 for both rooms it could have been better.

The hotel itself is very dated that is also as its an old building and the character of the building is from 18th century. The room was okay and can be improved. The staff looked agitated and not very friendly. The restaurant menue is overly priced and very limited. No service except within limited lunch and dinner time with pre booking.

Couples Cabin stay with dog

Highly recommend staying here in the woodland cabins. We had a 3 night stay here with our dog and it was great. The cabin is comfortable and comes with all amenities needed, as well as a hot tub to relax after long walks around the Lake District. It’s located close to a trail which runs all the way to Lakeside on Lake Windermere. From here you can get boat trips and ferries to most places. Breakfast was standard full English, with cereals, pastries and tea / coffee. This was ok and self serve. We ate in the restaurant also and the food menu for dinner was very good, serving nice local sourced food which we enjoyed. Staff were friendly and helpful with requests. We would stay again for definite!

Nice location in Lakes

Busy hotel but it is The Lakes in high season. Hotel has character but a bit dated. Jacuzzi bath was broken on our visit. Breakfast service staff lax and often ran out of coffee, and items from the cold continental section and toaster constantly tripped out and stopped working. Overall a nice stay though and some good walks on the doorstep.

Last minute booking.

Room and breakfast were good. Parking was a problem if you returned late for the day- however we did stay a Saturday so probably busier than usual. Breakfast was good. Rooms were very hot- I would have expected bottled water or an offer of iced tap water to take to your room and or cold sheets.

Unfortunately fire alarm went off and so had to exit building. False alarm (maybe someone smoking in room set it off) no staff of authority seen.

A few noisy clients and a door that banged every time someone came through.


Apart from that - room nice - huge bed - clean room and bathroom. nice staff. Reception staff nice. Stop

It was lovely. The food was delicious.

Wasn’t too happy when wishes had already reset tables for dinner during breakfast, telling we couldn’t sit there.

Also, the internet TV wasn’t working which was a shame as I was looking forward both night to watch a moving on be of my streaming services.

Otherwise the hotel was lovely

This is a great location and the staff are brilliant. The hotel is basic but acceptable.

I’d strongly encourage you not to accept Room one in the annex.. tell them when you book that you don’t want it. The floorboards above are ridiculously noisy and the occupant of the room only has to move gently and it sounds like the ceiling is going to fall in on you. Unfortunately, for me, they were early rises and consequently it was a terrible night sleep for me.

OK to stay, with great evening food

The location is good, very handy for travelling around. The staff were great and the food in the evenings was absolutely excellent. The beds are ok but not a great night's sleep - we stayed 3 nights and the floorboards creak a lot. The bathroom could do with modernisation. Having to climb into a bath with no grab rails, to take a shower could be dangerous for anyone with balance issues. Wifi is patchy to non-existent in some rooms though when we reported that they said they would check the signal booster. Breakfast is plentiful, but the old problem of leaving trays of fried eggs out under a heat lamp. for continental visitors there are no cold meats and cheeses. I think they could do better on that. It does get busy for food in the evening so do book. I would worry a bit about warm weather and needing to leave windows open on the road-facing rooms as that could be noisy. Not a problem in winter. Overall good but could do better.

Staff were outstanding

The staff were all excellent and attractive. The room was comfortable. The spa-bath in our en-suit was a lithe noisy but fun.
We enjoyed a swim in the pool, not huge, but not busy.
The only negative was breakfast was not very hot but otherwise the restaurant dinner was lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend. Great location for exploring the south lakes and Furness peninsula.

Would stay again!

Great experience staying in a Cabin. Lovely staff on arrival and for dinner service. Great food, and awesome to have breakfast delivered one morning for a reasonable add-on price.
Would have been nice to know that the steam room was out of action prior to stay, but as we had the private hot tub with the Cabin this didn't impact our enjoyment of the stay

Average

Superior Deluxe double room on Hotels dot con for £183 a night advertised with private outdoor hot tub. I believe it's a mistake by hotels dot con the staff were lovely and helpful and this review shouldn't reflect on them or there customer service.

There is no PRIVATE hot tub with this option at all. The hotel was average very creeky floors and 4 poster bed quite dated very very noisy bed. The room was reasonably clean despite mould on the bath sealant. Shame the bathroom window didn't open too. Breakfast was good apart from it bugged me that not one of the curtain rails above the doors were straight.

A little overpriced for what it was. £80-£100 would have been more reasonable and that's only because it's in the lakes.

Not somewhere I'd stay again.

The positives: Friendly Staff, Warm Room, Food was good.

Not quite what I was expecting considering the reviews I’d seen. Slightly dated and the leisure facility needs a revamp. Noises from the bar and stairwell through the night and early morning. Lights on outside the window coming through the curtains. Creeking bed and certainly not a silent night mattress. Cleaning in the bathroom needs attention. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Second visit to Newby. Swimming pool cold and needs updating, bed too hard for us and we had a disturbed night due to hearing washing machines and tumble dryers.
Food Ok. They have pods since last visit, maybe money could have been better spent updating current rooms and definitely leisure area. The raised grill stuck with old hazard tape in pool area trip hazard, in our opinion needs a make over.

Room was hot, and I was asked to leave Restaurant.

I stayed 2 nights in the Newby Bridge Hotel, and decided to go for a meal last night in your pub eating area.
The guy who actually served me at the bar was the same one who said \"sit where you want\" it was 6:30pm.. I decided on what I wanted to eat and was told I had to pay for it at the bar.. fair enough.. The homemade pie and chips arrived, it was nice, and I'd paid for 2 pints but said I'd have my 2nd after I've drunk my first, as it was warm.. After I'd finished my lunch and 1st drink one of the waitresses took my glass and I asked if I'd have to go to the bar or can my 2nd drink be served at the table. She went off to bring my pint.. As soon as she'd brought it she, with her next sentence, said, oh.. this table is booked for 7pm, there was no sign at the table saying this, you need to move, did you book? .. I told her the man said sit anywhere it ok, even though I'd only sat down at 6:38pm..
She sensed I wasn't happy and said I could sit nearer the bar.. \"oh its OK, I'll take it to my room, and go somewhere else tomorrow, So I took my pint to my room.. I was not happy in the slightest..
Am I being unreasonable here? 22 minutes to eat my lunch and drink my 2 pints? Then get thrown out in front of the other customers??
The room (5) had no AC, and no fan, which made sleeping, on a hot night, difficult.
I'm in the area until March 2023 and try to move around the area, but would not stay here again.

Hotel clean, but very dated. The room that we stayed in, the bed was lumpy and uncomfortable. Not wheelchair friendly, only one disabled room. No lift with some rooms having 2 flights of stairs to go up. Our room had steps going down to it. A ramp was provided for the first steps, but there was still a step to go down. Corridors narrow making access with a wheelchair difficult. However, on a positive note the staff were helpful and friendly, and did their best under the limitations.

Contacted expedia minutes after mistaken booking, hotel would not respond, left a request with expedia, hotel refuse to provide refund, did not stay in hotel. We stayed in the Swan. Receptionist staff at the Swan used to work at Newby Bridge Hotel and said the cleanliness and overall hygiene was awful, never want to stay here. Disappointed they would not provide refund on this occasion and circumstances.

Newby Bridge Hotel

The room was dated and the shower had no screen so we had to keep towels everywhere to stop the floor flooding . The price was high for the two night stay and didnt i nclude breakfast which was another €12 per person. The eveni ng meal was a buffet and the food was cold so we didnt eat there the second evening . The pool as nice but the cha ging room was dirty.

The property was ok value for money, our room was spacious and light. However, the furniture and fittings were a little worn-down and it was not very clean. The breakfast only offers a Full English (in standard, vegetarian and vegan) plus cereals, toast, jam and fruit. Service at breakfast was friendly but incredibly slow. Staff at the reception was helpful. Currently you are able to book 30 min slots at the pool, during which you have the facilities to yourself/your party. Parking is in front of the hotel and even though it was busy and tight, we were always able to find a spot.

Would return to different room

We loved the location to the river. Bus connection and setting. Our only complaint would be the temperature of the room. We were abpve the swimming pool whoch meant the room was heated with pipes innthe floor. With no aircon we asked for a fan but nothing came of that. The window was open 24hours. Then the kitchen fan could be heard constant. Shame as made sleeping uncomfortable. We would return but ask for different room

The rooms have been updated and are very nice. Food from the restaurant was also very nice when having an evening meal.

The pool area hasn’t been updated in what seem like about 15 years and is quite shabby and unappealing. The “gym” is a room with 4 machines one which looked rusty and was being used a towel storage area.

If you take the state of the gym out of the equation it’s a lovely hotel and fit for purpose as a comfortable place to stay while exploring the Lake District. Would stay again if the opportunity presented itself.

Room comfort below par

Standard of the room (single occupancy) was not very good: awful mattress and pillows, bed reading light below par, I had to put waste paper bin on the window sill in order to keep the sliding window open, no anti-slip floor mat, nor safety grab bar to help me step into the bath to have a shower (totally unacceptable for an octogenarian as I am).

So nearly extremely good!

Lovely check in. Very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Room is well turned out, quirky with nice touches- hooks to hold torpedo light switches. Bathroom is well appointed and very clean. Dinner- very good in a nice dining room. The whole place is attempting high end and nearly getting there. Sadly it still attracts a few less well mannered guests. Also dogs appear welcome everywhere- even in the dining room- just stop it- dogs do not need to be included in everything. Generally though, a lovely clean hotel with good aspirations.
