I feel so sorry for all the lovely staff that once again this beautiful hotel is going into liquidation. Watch it rise again from the ashes by the same guy that had bought and has gone into  liquidation twice.  Andrew Davis and the Von Essen group, one and the same.  Shame on you.

Such a shame

We stopped at the hotel the day before restrictions were imposed with the Coronavirus. The staff couldn’t have been more pleasant & attentive even though it was highly likely the hotel would be closed the following day, which it was.
The hotel is nestled into Ullswater Lake in a quaint typical Lake District landscape. We had our dog, the room was situated away from the main building but only 30yds away. We had a lovely lakeside view, room was quaint, if tired in some areas. En-suite, TV, tea & coffee etc, all very nice.
We had wine & afternoon tea in the afternoon which was delightful in the drawing room.
Evening meal was the a la carte menu which was 8 courses of dining experience.
Drinks next to the roaring fire completed a great day / evening.
Full English breakfast the following morning was a further meal in itself, waiter served.
On our return home we realised we had left our 2nr apple phone chargers which were posted out free of charge by the staff.
The Sharrow Bay offers tradition not found in other hotels & would urge tourists to visit once this Coronavirus nightmare is over.
The great staff deserve for this setback to be short lived.
Great hotel.

Authentic traditional lakeside hotel

Decided to stay here following our holiday abroad being cancelled
Could not fault the food at all had tasting menu, the veggie tasting menu was great and had the best course of the evening. Room was fantastic staff friendly. If was being picky then a little better table service ie pouring wine if required would have improved the evening and the cheese was so thin in some areas struggled to see it on the plate 

Overall a great experience would go back there great wine cellar but prices are taking the mick quite a bit but that’s par for the course in these places. 

Breakfast was great

If you’re thinking of staying there do

Beautiful building and setting.  Faultless service and amazing food. We had the wine pairing with the tasting menu and would definitely do this again.
Nothing is too much trouble, wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and hope to return soon.

Birthday treat 

We visited this hotel a couple of times, which is unusual for us as they are very few hotels we ever go back to. But this is just a magical place! It’s a step back in time but beautifully done! A mix of old and new decor which has a traditional feel with modern touches. The place is filled with beautiful paintings, antiques and has an old-fashioned luxury about it. The rooms are all very varied and pretty, with lots of lovely detailing and some have amazing views. We have previously stayed in Phoebe which has quite a boutique feel to it and a large modern bathroom, but on this occasion we stayed in Aphrodite which is a wonderful split level suite with stunning views. The food is OUTSTANDING too! It might not have it’s Michelin star anymore but you wouldn’t tell! The dining room now overlooks the lake so it has spectacular views. However, a little classical music would have been nice, as there were only four tables in on the night we dined and some soft background music would have been much appreciated. Having said that I can’t recommend the place enough! It’s a true treat with staff who take the best care of you! Go see for yourself, if you like old fashioned grandure, sumptuous food and amazing service then you won’t be disappointed! 

Spectacular Hotel! 

So sad to see this hotel in this very poor situation. I can only hope that someone takes it on and restores it to the wonderful state that Francis Coulson had struggled to take it to after a lifelong love affair with the House, starting off with a few pots and pans, and taking to the dizzy heights of being one of the finest Country house Hotels in the world.  Francis and his lifelong partner Brian are buried in the grounds and will be turning in their graves sadly.

We booked for April and then COVID made an appearance and the resulting Lockdown meant that we could not go. Even though it was booked months in advance the full amount of over £400.00 for one night was taken from our card when we booked.
We wrote asking for a refund. They told us it was being sorted out by the accountants and  bizarrely some people booking Ryan air Fights would have to wait for months. They said that they were waiting for a Government handout . We have now requested the refund three times.They are no longer  responding. Think twice before you make reservation if you cannot make it they will keep your money.

Don’t make a reservation .

To continue the fact that our deposits are down the toilet.
Looking at the filing for the LIQ02 Notice to Companies House on 22 September 2020 it states that the liabilities included £185,339.38 of Consumer Credit Deposits - 494 deposits in total.
Now we have an indication of how many of us were taken to the cleaners.

No news about all the deposits we had made to the hotel

this was a gift from friends for my wife and myself 50th wedding anniversary, it looks that we have lost this as we should of had it in April.
very disappointed in  the outcome and hope the owners are not allowed to ever open another business

As with a lot of people I too lost my deposit of £333. My booking was made in March for April stay and postponed due to COVID. I asked for a refund and was sent a cheque that bounced (In May). I then asked for a card refund and was told the Hotel would open on 1st June (Later also told  August and then September.)
I called the hotel several times and each time was told they would be opening as soon as it's safe to and I, therefore, kept the booking(as it was a birthday treat for my 93-year-old Mother-in-law)
When I called to rebook (they never called me on any occasion over the 6 months )
They tried to charge me an extra £200 (which thankfully I didn't pay....even though it would appear at that time they knew they were in trouble !?)
I rebooked for October and then happened to read in the papers they had gone into administration (something they knew about as early as June!) Not the way to act in any circumstances....I Will wait to see if the management buys it back.
Feel cheated
