Haweswater Hotel sits in Bampton, Cumbria, the only building within a 100 square mile nature reserve, just 20 minutes from the M6 yet far from any crowds. Built in 1937 as part of the Haweswater Dam project, this Art Deco hotel has been sensitively restored and offers 17 individually designed rooms, many with Lake View outlooks across Haweswater and the surrounding mountains. On site, the Haweswater Restaurant serves lunch at the bar or dinner in the bar or restaurant area, using seasonal ingredients. Dog-friendly rooms are available for guests travelling with pets. The area rewards exploring further afield too, with The Armitt Museum & Library around 8.7 miles away, Dove Cottage about 9.7 miles away, and Subtropical Swimming Paradise some 10 miles from the hotel.
