Haweswater Hotel - 4-Star Hotel in Bampton (Cumbria)

The hotel offers en suite rooms with large flat-screen TVs and tea and coffee making facilities. Some suites, such as the Burnbank room, provide a balcony with direct views of Haweswater and the surrounding mountains. Rooms are furnished in period Art Deco style, with suites like Lowther offering a separate sitting area.

Mark Greenaway at the Haweswater presents a carefully crafted tasting menu for fine dining. Brasserie 37 serves hearty, French-inspired classics using local, seasonal produce. Both restaurants source ingredients from nearby farms and suppliers, with a wine list featuring bottles from France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal.

This hotel welcomes dogs in most areas and provides pet bowls on request. Dogs are allowed in the bar and lounge, and the surrounding gardens offer outdoor space for walks. A £15 per night dog fee applies, payable at checkout.

The hotel has a bar, a lake view terrace, and a coffee house on site. Guests can use the garden, picnic area, and sun terrace, with sun loungers available. Inside, board games, a shared lounge, and luggage storage are offered, along with packed lunches for walkers (ordered the night before).
