This really is a lovely hotel, beautifully furnished, excellent service and owners who never stop working! Walking through the front door, you realise that this is something special and that "something special" goes on and on. The location, the views across Ullswater, the gardens and this fabulous Country House. The food was excellent and the service matched it! If you... more

We stayed in Rampsbeck (Silver Crag) for four nights at the beginning of September. Firstly, we were really warmly welcomed by Mrs Gibb - which is very much appreciated after a long journey and also given that we are in our thirties and younger than your average Lake District Country House guest, we have, in the past (most notably at... more

We have just spent 2 nights at this wonderful hotel beautifully situated on the lake shore. The bedroomwas spacious and beautifully decorated and the bathroom exceptionally clean and comfortable. Fruit,wa ter was replenished daily as was the tea tray we requested. The rooms downstairs are very comfortable with fine views over the lake, The food was outstanding, imaginative and well... more

Booked this HOtel as a birthday treat for myself and father. Position great good service with marvellous food although a stay more than two days may have resulted in a change of wardrobe as everything was too good to miss. Minor complaint was lack of tea and coffeemaking facilities although I did hear someone asking for a kettle so they... more

We stayed at the Rampsbeck for 5 nights, booked at short notice. It's a lovely building on the shore of Ullswater, with its own grounds. The gardens & views are great. There are several large public rooms downstairs, with plenty of comfy armchairs to relax in. The staff are very friendly. As we had booked at short notice, we had... more

This excellent hotel is situated in a beautiful location on the Banks of Ullswater and we stayed in a superior room with a stunning view overlooking the lake. The owners were cheerful, friendly and very welcoming, and during our three day stay, they couldn't have done enough for us. The room was spotlessly clean, very spacious and featured a superb... more

We chose the Ramspbeck Country House Hotel as the venue for our wedding reception on Saturday 9th June this year and couldn’t have wished for a more picturesque, well-managed and delightful hotel. The owner, Marion Gibb and her team were fantastic – every need was tended to. Our meal, even catering for 35 guests, was exceptional. Many of our guests... more

Stayed here D B & B one night; booked on the strength of universally positive Tripadvisor reviews [always reassuring albeit not always infallible]. Can endorse just about everything in previous reviews here: bedroom was obviously a 'standard' one with panoramic views of the roof rather than the lake, but perfectly ok if not sumptuous, with spacious well-fitted bathroom, complete with... more

We stayed in March. As it was a special birthday, we paid for a room with a balcony and it was fabulous to sit out and look at Ullswater. The rest of the hotel was great too: pretty, comfortable lounges; a nice bar and the best food I've had in a long time. Although it was the same menu on... more
