Abbey House Hotel

1) Noise: We stayed in a beautiful suite overlooking the gardens. While the suite was clean, there was a wedding downstairs and the noise from the live band was deafening. We couldn’t sleep until it stopped at midnight. They shouldn’t let out a room directly over a live band. 2) Dirty: the morning of our checkout, we walked out the front of the property to our car and there was vomit outside the front door areas. Great restaurant and beautiful property. Believe they just need some fine tuning with these couple of things

Absolutely loved this hotel from the minute we turned through the gates! Staff - friendly, cheerful and informative. Room - so comfortable and beautiful furnishings, even had a teapot! without asking for it. Bathroom- fabulous but husband would have liked a shaving mirror. Grounds - so beautiful and tranquil. food - excellent quality, service and choices. One of the best we've stayed at and totally lived up to our expectations - maybe even exceeded them!

A beautiful hotel with great staff beautiful grounds. Rooms are large and comfortable. Easy parking and a lift.

Only a short stay, but really enjoyed it. Hotel grounds were well cared for. Staff were friendly and helpful.I would definitely stay there again. Plenty of free parking.

Very lovely place for couples or families. It has a great dining area and beautiful garden.

Hotel looked very welcoming. Staff were friendly and helpful. However as it was a wedding parking was difficult with fee spaces available. We also had ignorant guests who on our second evening thought it funny to knock on our day and leave. Even good hotels cant be responsible for ignorant guests.

Lovely hotel, staff looked after us very well and could not do enough for us. It was a pleasure being a guest at Abbey House and cannot speak highly enough of the staff also the beautiful building of Abbey House which is set in fabulous gardens.

We had a wonderful one night stay- staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. As there was a function with a band we were offered an alternative room on arrival in a quieter spot, which we accepted and were very happy with the quiet and cosy room. Room was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. A morning walk around the grounds added to the peaceful and relaxing experience, with beautiful wooded paths and lawns. Would recommend.

What a fantastic experience at a wedding we attended at Abbey House Hotel, from start to finish every member of staff were amazing, breakfast was 5 star too , What a great night over we had we will definitely stay again

Lovely modern rooms, very spacious and good bathroom facilities. Breakfast is nice, but if you didn’t want a full english there isn’t much choice in the buffet section. Only complaint is that the hotel hosts events (weddings etc) and don’t tell you there will be an event on with loud music until you have paid for a non refundable room!! We stayed last night, checked in and was told our room was right above the wedding reception, loud music till midnight, we may as well have been in the party we could hear everything word for word. Would definitely recommend ringing the hotel before you book to check there isn’t an event on the night you’re staying, if there is don’t expect much sleep till after midnight!

Nice hotel. Room abit tired and only 1 towel left. Lamp flickered and tv awkward to watch from bed as only 1 chair in the room. stayed here before and breakfast wasn’t to the usual standard.

The room was spacious and comfortable, very clean The shower was amazing The staff could not do anymore for you They work really hard And breakfast was amazing And parking was easy This was our 3 rd time now and I will be back

Had high hopes having stayed several years ago. However, my bathroom wasn’t very clean, mould, dirty shower and missing tiles. The shower was stuck on hot and it was scalding. My room, nice but woke up to find 7 ladybird bugs flying about. Dinner I had to send my food back as it was seriously over cooked, in general the food was very disappointing very much style over substance and taste. Breakfast was terrible, my food was stone cold as was my colleagues but least we received ours, the other person in our party received porridge instead of a cooked breakfast and service was so slow we had to leave for the meeting meaning so he went without. Check out was very slow as only one person on desk doing check out and taking phones calls. Won’t be returning, at £150 for one night more was expected.

Stayed a few times now and a great hotel, unfortunately this time the room was not up to the previous standards.. The shower tray drain must have been blocked and over flowed in no time at all and i had to turn the shower off and on as it was flooding the floor, the room key was very temperamental even after reprogramming twice by a very helpful member of staff it still didn't work. My wife and I would definitely stay again but the maintenance maybe needs improving.

Beautiful venue Room was immaculate Food in the restaurant was gorgeous

A wonderful character hotel with immaculate rooms and beautiful grounds. Staff are so attentive and the bar restaurant is great place to spend an evening. Make sure you order breakfast and it is stunning!

We attended a wedding here and it was beautiful. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and nicely furnished. Breakfast was great, lots of choices.

An excellent stay, 10/10. Wonderful staff, fantastic building that’s well maintained and very clean whilst being warm and welcoming. Great restaurant and wonderful service. Only 1 recommendation- the music in the restaurant was a little loud and outdated.

A great place to stay. Room was clean and the staff we met were all friendly,pleasant & courteous. Highly recommended.

My only criticism of the room was the hanging space in the open closet which was minuscule for long dresses, trousers and coats and also had an ironing board in it making it an even smaller space. Everything else in the hotel was marvellous.

Staying during the colder months the Winter Suite certainly lived up to its name. The suite was large but the radiators were not sufficient to keep it warm, the saving grace was the the underfloor heating in the bathroom. The dining room of an evening was often chilly and one evening I had to sit with my jacket on. The hotel at midweek was not at capacity so not sure if this was the reason the heating was turned down or off and as I person who feels the cold it was not pleasant. Also being informed at 9.30pm the bar was closing as the staff were going home was not great, we were away on a short break with family.

Great stay but there was a wedding on (which we were warned about before) so noisy with music and children running about. Room fairly small but a really nice bathroom, comfy bed and a first class breakfast, would not hesitate staying again.

We stayed for 2 nights in the autumn suite, the room was beautiful and comfy. The staff were really helpful and friendly when we checked in the receptionist advised that there was going to be a party on the side of the hotel our original room was on so it was likely to be loud so they had moved us to the other side which was quieter, they asked if we would like to see our original room just incase we wanted to stay there but we were happy to be in the classic suite rather than the contempo suite which was a little upgrade! We visited Oscar’s bar and the staff were so helpful and friendly, highly recommended the passion fruit martini. We visited the beauty room and had an amazing body scrub and back massage and a full body hot stone massage by the lovely Maddie and felt so relaxed afterwards, we highly recommend booking in with her if you stay. Overall the grounds and the hotel were amazing and we would definitely come back again we had an amazing couple of days,

Nice hotel. Room abit tired and only 1 towel left. Lamp flickered and tv awkward to watch from bed as only 1 chair in the room. stayed here before and breakfast wasn’t to the usual standard.

The room was spacious and comfortable, very clean The shower was amazing The staff could not do anymore for you They work really hard And breakfast was amazing And parking was easy This was our 3 rd time now and I will be back

Had a great time. Lovely suite. Daughter loved the tv in the bed

We booked this for our anniversary as we had also booked the safari zoo experience which was near. The pictures online doesn’t do the hotel justice at all ! It was a beautifully clean location inside and out. We had noted that I needed a disabled room as I struggle to walk very much due to my disability. We were booked into the Ullswater room and it was amazing. The room was so large which would be great for wheelchair users to manoeuvre around. The bathroom was a big wet room with waterfall shower and a standard hose shower, super powerful and had great handrail next to the toilet, and two other handrails next to the toilet and on the wall of where the shower is. There were two sink basins and low enough for wheelchair users to reach etc. the rooms were cleaned daily and had a great selection of hot drinks and a still and sparkling bottle of water inside too. There was also an extra plug in radiator as it can get chilly. Extra little touches in the drawers. Breakfast was great, very polite staff well decorated in the bar / restaurant. The lattes we got on the Friday evening were fab. It was great for value and a really beautiful place. The grounds are stunning from what I could tell although I can’t manage to walk around. The only downsides I would say are that there are no flannels / wash cloths which isn’t the end of the world. And that the mattresses were two singular ones that were soft and hard and one mattress wasn’t great. I’d definitely come back however.

Lovely room, very spacious. Had a very nice meal in the restaurant

Another great stay and very Christmassy feel with all the lights and decorations. Room was lovely.

Lovely room, staff went over and above to accomodate us in the restaurant and bar. Receptionist very helpful too

I stayed at the abbey house many times in the past, but this particular visit was awful. The staff were incredibly rude, I was left, feeling humiliated. I will not ever stayed in this hotel again. Staff need to be trained in customer service, they certainly do not need to be trained and how they become aggressive with customers, and how they like to humiliate customers repeatedly within a public eating area. There is very little understanding from the members of staff and they try and justify their exceptionally poor attitudes. As I say, there are many hotels in this area and I will now be trying the different hotels as I’m sure the customer service will be much better than this ‘four-star’ hotel. It is such a shame, because I have had some very good experiences on different days within this hotel, but it appears that the staff have changed and not for the better.

Wonderful stay, beautiful hotel. Attentive staff, fabulous food. Would highly recommend. Thanks to all the staff at Abbey House .

Amazing - so helpful and the staff laid out petals I had sent to the hotel for our anniversary. No grumbles and done with maximum effort. Thanks so much.

I have stayed this weekend in room 113 - I have to say firstly what amazing staff! The bloke who cleaned my room helped me numerous times with locking myself out. He was so polite and nothing was too much trouble. Batman who is from Dubai , very friendly and polite and knowledgeable about his job. Had a very interesting conversation about champagne. Breakfast staff - from the gentleman who took me to my table from the the waitress & waiters . All very polite and helpful. The food was great with lots to offer and as I am a very fussy eater, there wasn’t anything I didn’t like. I have stayed here a few times over the years but not for a while and I have to say this was definitely my best experience and have booked again for a few weeks time. This will now be my place to say when I am back home visiting.

Loved the location with Furness Abbey nearby and conveniently situated for Safari Zoo. The hotel was furnished beautifully and our room was very spacious. The hotel grounds were stunning and maintained to a high standard, We were celebrating our 43rd Wedding Anniversary, on Thursday, but this wasn’t acknowledged, however, the restaurant was very busy on that evening. Would recommend this hotel.

Beautiful location

A beautiful hotel with great staff beautiful grounds. Rooms are large and comfortable. Easy parking and a lift.

Only a short stay, but really enjoyed it. Hotel grounds were well cared for. Staff were friendly and helpful.I would definitely stay there again. Plenty of free parking.

Very lovely place for couples or families. It has a great dining area and beautiful garden.

Enjoyed a lovely weekend with family. Comfortable room, friendly and attentive staff and acceptable accommodation, foid and bar prices. All within easy driving distance to the national park

gorgeous gardens to walk around. Feeling of serenity. Though there were many people booked in, it did not feel too busy. A perfect retreat. Ideal location for exploring other areas from.

Great location, fantastic staff and a lovely room. Breakfast was great. The only issue was that a hotel of this standard really shouldn't be serving instant coffee at breakfast!

Overall very good - very expensive drinks!

We booked through your website and was disappointed to find out that we could of paid less going direct to the Abbey in Barrow. My Wife unfortunately has intolerance to several items but for some reason the breakfast staff couldn't understand. This worries me if she have had allergies.

absolutely fantastic place to stay, staff friendly and professional. the surrounds are lovely. the breakfast was top class.
