Ravenstone Manor

Had a very nice stay at this gorgeous place in the beautiful lake district.

We have just come back from a fantastic two night break with our two Border Collies. To class Ravenstone Manor as superb due to it being so dog friendly does it an injustice, it is superb regardless. We found the staff, Charlie the owner, the food (excellent chef), the building, the rooms and the location all perfect. We had breakfast and evening meals at the hotel and would thoroughly recommend eating there, even if passing through. Our dogs were made to feel at home immediately, with treats and strokes on hand all the time. There is a warm outdoor dog ‘shower’, what a great idea after a days walk. All in all a great find, we will be back as soon as possible.

Such a beautiful hotel and amazing scenery. Was more of a 3 star than a 4 star. You mainly pay for the location. Staff were good

A beautiful, characterful hotel with great staff and good food. The room was spotless and well equipped. The lounge area as beautiful and there is a small garden with amazing views.One small point to note, the hotel is very dog friendly and dogs are allowed in the lounge and dining room. Not a problem for us but may be one for other guests who would be unaware of this at the time of booking.

We stayed at Ravenstone Manor for two nights and LOVED it! There were only some minor drawbacks: the bathroom was small (we stayed in a standard room - larger rooms probably didn't have this issue), and the internet wasn't great due to the hotel's remote location. But there were so many positive things about our stay that those concerns hardly mattered! The grounds are beautiful, with lovely outdoor sitting areas. The hotel itself is cozy, and while we were lucky to have great weather, I would have been just as happy to curl up with a book and a cup of tea in the communal sitting areas. The food was absolutely delicious - no need to go into town for a meal when the dinner on site is so good, and so reasonably priced! Breakfast, which was included, was also very good. There are multiple walking/hiking paths just out the door from the hotel, which is ideal for most visitors. We also really enjoyed the people - both the other guests and the proprietors. The other guests were unfailingly happy, warm, and kind (many had dogs, as Ravenstone is known for being dog-friendly). The proprietors were all that and more! They were extremely attentive, and very, very funny. We felt so welcomed. It was a shame to have such a short stay, and we have every intention of returning!
