Great hotel to stay in with a beautiful atmosphere and an amazing view from the room. The staff were lovely, friendly, and always helpful, making us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The pool and hot tub were very good — clean, relaxing, and perfect after a long day. The room itself was comfortable, spacious, and well maintained. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Lovely hotel with stunning views. The big plus is the food - breakfast was excellent and dinner both nights was really enjoyable. It’s in a great location to explore the northern part of the Lakes. Some parts of the hotel could do with a bit of TLC. Staff are really good, would definitely recommend.

Comfortable stay

It was a comfortable stay with great hospitality. The room could have been cleaner - crumbs, dust and someone’s shoe under the sofas. Cobwebs on walls and ceilings. The bathrooms smelled a little mildewy/damp, probably due to lack of windows, so would benefit from some air fresheners.

We had a lovely one night stay. We were warmly greeted and our room was spacious, up quite a few stairs so beware if you have heavy cases. We enjoyed a swim in the pool and used the hot tub. A well equipped gym was also available. The pool was very clean and a pleasant temperature. These facilities were all included in the room price but there is a limited timetable when you can use the pool due to lesson and member sessions.
We ate dinner at the hotel which was very tasty and well presented. Prices were average for the places we stayed this year. There was a good menu choice including specials. Before dinner we sat out in the terrace deck enjoying the beautiful views and peace. It was also entertaining to watch the car park comings and goings of children arriving for swimming lessons. This does mean parking could be difficult if guests arrive at the same time lessons are happening.
Breakfast was delicious, ordering your hot meal choice the day before. Cereal and toast were also available. We slept well, although the bed was firmer than I am used to. The bathroom was clean and the shower worked well.
I would recommend this hotel to others and would stay here again.

Hotel is in a beautiful area and location.
It has a lovely pool which unfortunately we didn’t have time to use as we were spending time with family living locally.
We were very kindly upgraded to a suite. It was very spacious and really nice but needs a little TLC in the bathroom with a jacuzzi and the curtain hooks need attention. All things that can be easily addressed.
We had dinner on one evening and it was delicious and well presented.
Breakfast was okay but do not like having to order the night before and no table to help yourself to juice toast etc.
On having said this I would still stay there again.

Apartment bit tired looking,could be doing with some touch up in painting etc,balcony area similar,table/chairs needed clean up,cushions/throw would be nice touch ? Pool area was also needing general touch up to better standards as we experienced on stay few years earlier.Would hope owner would take my suggestions positively and I'm sure would benefit him moving forward.

Superb hotel in a great location

Fantastic stay. Staff were friendly and all very helpful. I'd stay here again just for the staff service.

Food was excellent. We had an evening meal which was delicious and breakfast which was top quality. Special shout for the homemade jam! Welcome drink and cake on checking in which was a lovely surprise.

Drinks were quite expensive but no different from the surrounding area. Room could have been cleaner but it was clean enough not to be an issue.

Swimming pool and Hot tub were nice extras. The views are incredible so if you're lucky to have nice weather the outside seating is great.

The breakfast and dinner were good. The location is also good convenient drive to Keswick and Cockermouth.

However on the downside the hotel has staffing issues and so the service at breakfast and dinner were very slow. In addition, our two rooms booked were not cleaned on day 2. In addition, the swimming pool is restricted to rwo hours in the morning per day and so not good. Overall a poor to average hotel.

Not a real spa hotel

Everyone was nice and friendly, check in and check out was smooth, the food at the restaurant is excellent, we really enjoyed our breakfast and dinner. Sadly our bed was so soft and uncomfortable, that ruined our good night sleep. Pool area looks dirty, it really needs some TLC. Hot tub was outside under a gazeboo but looked abadonded. I was expecting more of a spa environment, I would avoid it if this is the reason of your stay.

Disappointing Stay

Arrived to check in which I thought went smoothly to then find out that the apartment we booked did not have an infant bed as requested and was previously acknowledged on the booking. The apartment had a cotbed which our toddler would not fit in. Another cotbed was brought up until staff were told yet again that an infant bed was required. This was frustrating as it unsettled our toddlers bedtime routine. Once asleep the noise from upstairs with the banging footsteps on the floorboards was continuous until after midnight. Breakfast was the a disaster in the morning as the majority of the order was incorect with no orange juice, no granola and porridge wrong which was seeved with wrong toppings and whole milk which I was not informed when it was presented even though staff were clearly told 5 mins prior regarding a dairy allergy. This was then returned to then wait for it to be corrected with no apology.

Amazing views with hospitality to match

We stayed in a two bedroom apartment, incredible views, there was a generous amount of space for us all. Everything was maintained to a high standard. On arriving we received a warm and friendly welcome and throughout our stay the staff were more than happy to help us with anything we needed and really couldn’t do enough for us. The accommodation was lovely and excellent standards were clear throughout the hotel, access to the pool was def a added bonus but none of this would have meant much if wasn’t for the outstanding effort from all the staff and we especially found Mags to be truly wonderful and sincere. Will definitely be returning xx

Comfortable self catering unit

3 day stay at Embleton Spa at end of August 23. Stayed in Skiddaw apartment - 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom self catering unit. Breakfast included.

Good - great kitchen, tasty breakfast and dinners (we ate 2 dinners at the hotel)

Spa - pool good, but tried to book treatments, and spa therapist never responded to calls.

Room - spacious. Indoors nice, cleanliness acceptable.

Outdoor - Large outdoor area, but this was quite filthy - did not seem to have been cleaned in past few weeks.

Parking - ample parking at hotel at no additional charges.

Lovely weekend stay

Lovely weekend stay with my mum. She really appreciated the break and it was a lovely place to stay. We didn’t make use of the pool in the end but we had a lovely stay.
The restaurant food was fantastic and all the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Brilliant location, we did two fabulous walks straight from the hotel. You have to be patient when crossing the busy A66.
The staff were lovely, especially Ali. Breakfast was fresh and tasty. And the restaurant food and service was great.
There was a sense that this hotel was a part of the local community.
We had a swim in the pool, which was a bonus. Yet this area and the outside hot tub area needed a bit of TLC.
Our room was a little double room, it was very clean and fresh, and had fabulous views. Overall good value for money, and i wish we could have stayed longer.

Lovely little find!

Lovely views, cosy rooms and great food! All the staff were great. Both the evening meal and breakfast were excellent. Dog treats in room, which was a lovley extra. Beds comfy enough but the room was incredibly hot even with the small fan that was in the room, on full. Couldnt open the window as the door rattled like mad. 'Spa' area definitely needs some TLC felt a little grubby. No Guest towels by the pool or robes in the room, which was a little disappointing. Probably could haave asked for extra if we had known.Pool times for guests are quite restricted. That being said its free to use for guest, which is probably one of the last hotels that does this in the lakes! I would stay again.

The staff were lovely and helpful, the breakfast was a great start to the day.
Amazing views from hotel.
Good location to explore area.
The swimming pool area that isn't owned or managed by hotel operator was disappointing it wasn't very clean and very dated - feel sorry for Ali as this area has unfortunately resulted in poor reviews that don't reflect the overall experience of what Ali is achieving.

This stay was amazing. A family break for my wife’s birthday. The location and accommodation is amazing and the all the staff and service was simply wonderful. A special shout out to Mags on reception, a very warm and friendly welcome. Thoroughly recommended. Also worth noting that you can take your dogs if you have want to! I don’t have any, just thought it was worth the mention. Absolutely amazing cooked breakfast, we will be returning. Thank you so much. Well done to all the staff. We loved it

It was ok, don't think i'll be staying there again. You had to book for the swimming pool the sunna wasn't working . The hotel could do with refurb. Not a very good selection of evening meals. Breakfast ok. The room that we stayed in was ok had to go on patio to see view of mountains , when i booked it said view of mountains which was very disappointing cause it wasn't.

Warm welcome & pleasant staff - great advertising!

First, the staff. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by warm smiles, we were there for a 3 night stay and not a single staff member showed a sign of being unhappy in their work. We think this speaks highly of Alistair & Jo, who clearly run a happy ship! The staff were friendly, efficient and unflustered. Far too few hotels in our experience, can share this boast! Our allocated apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. Everything about the shower, wc, lounge and bedroom was lovely although I didn't care much for the metal headboard which I found uncomfortable whilst sitting up to read or watch TV - minor irritation and I couldn't work out how to use the oven in the kitchen - but didn't really need this anyway! The food served in the restaurant was excellent and we particularly enjoyed the breakfast. The hotel is perfectly located 2 miles from Cockermouth and 9 miles from Keswick and ideal for hillwalkers, owners who love to exercise their dogs, ramblers or even the infirm who simply enjoy the scenery that is right there, in front of this really nice hotel. We really enjoyed our stay here - but everybody i different!

Disappointed spa break

Booked for my partners 60th birthday as a spa break, no spa treatment room on site if wanting treatments had to book with a private company who would come to the bedroom which was on the small side, the view looked onto the bins on the side of the hotel could only use the swimming pool at certain times of the day as it was used for swimming lessons for a different company, no light meals served throughout the day. The room we stayed in had paper thin walls no sleep for two nights as could hear the snoring from next door, creaking floorboards from upstairs, the whole experience was very disappointing, not the spa hotel experience I was expecting. Children and dogs over taking the place definitely not relaxing.

The perfect stay!

An absolutely brilliant stay! We stayed in one of the apartments which was gorgeous, the hot tub style bath was an added bonus. The hotel was super dog friendly which was great, the dog being able to join us for New Year’s Eve was perfect. It was in a great location with lovely views from each of the windows. Could not have asked for a better stay, we will be returning soon!

Room small and noisy

We were disappointed with the size of the room especially the bathroom. Knees touched the sink I’ve you sat on the toilet. Very narrow. But the worse part was the noise from the room on top of ours. We could hear everything from them talking to every squeak of the floorboards. Very very noisy, we had to turn up h to be tv not to be driven to distraction!

Also, great location - close to Cockermouth town and if you are looking to explore Western Lake District.

Great short break at Embleton Spa Hotel.

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights during the first week of June and had a great time. The hotel is small but perfectly formed and in a great location for exploring the Lake District. We opted for an apartment style room with a kitchenette which was great as it meant we could prepare picnic food and sandwiches etc for our days out, whilst still enjoying the (very tasty) breakfast options and hearty dinners in the hotel restaurant.

The food is excellent. Not fine dining, but honest, tasty food clearly cooked with care and attention. We didn't have a bad plate of food for our entire stay. The lamb shank with delicious buttery mash and heritage carrots (and lashings of excellent gravy) was my highlight and my wife had the trout (which was a special one night) that she said was the best thing she ate on our entire trip (which included some other \"fancier\" hotels and restaurants).

Staff were all very friendly, service was relaxed but always with a smile and I'm not sure I've ever been anywhere quite so dog friendly, which was amazing! Should you wish then your (well behaved) dog(s) can join you for meals, which (as dog owners ourselves) we thought was awesome!

Breakfast was also delicious and freshly prepared each morning with bags of choice.

Due to Covid the pool had to be pre booked, but actually it was really nice as when we did go for a dip, it was a bit like having a private pool.

The whole place was spotless & eco friendly (right down to the toilet roll)!

A wonderful stay at Embleton Spa

An absolutely wonderful stay in a great location. Food was seriously good, some of the best we have ever had, service was second to none, fabulous staff, nothing was too much. Bedding and towels lovely condition, rooms very comfortable. Pool great for kids, just a small point the hot tub area could do with a little upgrade and maybe some chairs / lounges round the pool if possible. But overall absolutely excellent and views and walks simply stunning. We will definitely be going back. Thank you for a lovely stay.
