Lodore Falls Hotel
The Lodore Falls are so spectacular, that Romantic poet, Robert Southey, once wrote an extraordinary poem that beautifully captured the roaring sound of the waterfalls in words. It helped to popularise this small area of the Lake District amongst his Victorian peers. The hotel that sits in front of the falls has been providing visitors with spectacular views of the cascade for over 200 years, and is one of the area’s more luxurious places to stay.
The hotels also features a brand new spa with a thermal suite, 18 additional luxury rooms, a new restaurant, and a Champagne and deli bar that opened in 2018.

Accommodation
There are currently 69 rooms and suites at the Lodore Falls hotel with an additional 18 planned for the extension that is due to open in 2018. The hotel has undergone recent refurbishment and all rooms are decorated to high standard with a classic and understated design. Choose from Standard, Fell Side (with views of the fells), Lake View (with views of Derwent Water), or one of the luxurious suites, including the Tower Room, which as the name implies, is located within its own tower.
All rooms benefit from en-suite bathroom facilities with Gilchrest and Soames toiletries. In addition, in all rooms you will find free Wi-Fi, luxury Sealy beds, complimentary tea, coffee, biscuits and bottled water, a flat screen television, and bathrobes. A 24-hour room service is in operation.
Restaurants & Bars
The Lake View restaurant serves lunch and evening meals. A set menu is available in the evenings and it changes with the seasons, with a strong emphasis on locally sourced produce. On Sundays, a full three-course Sunday lunch is available. The restaurant has a strict dress code that includes no walking boots or trainers.
The Lake View Lounge and Terrace is a more casual affair and serves food daily until 5pm. You can enjoy a light lunch here or something more substantial. Afternoon tea is also served here, and in the evenings, you can relax with a cocktail.
In 2018, a new restaurant opened at the hotel as part of its extension. There is an open kitchen and a large terrace overlooking the river for a delightful al fresco dining experience. In the spa, a new Champagne and Deli bar has also opened, serving light refreshments.
