Bristowe Hill Reviews

Patrick
Our time at Bristow Hill was fantastic. The house and view is stunning, and wed gladly return on any future trip to the Lakes.
Bristowe Hill is a stunning house, set in the beautiful town of Keswick. We had 5 days walking into Keswick, walking up mountains, walking around Derwent Water a truly magical setting. Beautiful local pubs all dog friendly it really couldn't have been better. Our family arranged David to come in and cook us a fabulous meal on the Wednesday evening, with his famous Flap Jacksons beloved by King Charles. Anything extra we needed Lucie who runs Bristowe was always available, Thanks so much for a truly magical stay . Mike Heather and the gang Imported from Google Reviews.
We stayed here for a special family celebration. 13 adults, 4 children and 2 dogs. The house and grounds are stunning with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, as well as communal areas where everyone can come together. The house is well equipped with everything you need. The views of Catbells and surrounding fells are superb. Plenty of good walks nearby. Keswick has lots of lovely shops and places to eat out, plus the pencil museum, Hope Park and the Theatre by the Lake. We enjoyed an excellent private dining experience in the grand dining room, provided by The Keswick Kitchen. When the chef was stranded because of localised flooding Jackie and her team went above and beyond to get him and the food to us thanks to Lucie who saved the day by rescuing him in her Landrover! Everything was perfect and they even washed up. Imported from Google Reviews
Celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary weekend at this beautiful house with the wow factor in the most stunning location. The size of the property meant our large group 16 adults & 2 children had the space they wanted. The dining room is magnificent for special occasions, with 2 kitchens and an orangery for breakfast or BBQs. The decor in the main bedrooms is delightful. They are spacious and comfortable. All our guests loved it. I would like to thank Lucie for being so helpful. Also a huge thank you to Nick Foster Catering. He catered for our BBQ on Friday evening & our big private dinner at the house on Saturday. The food was very good everybody enjoyed it and the service was excellent. We highly recommend this mansion. Imported from Google Reviews.
I hired Bristowe Hill as a pre wedding venue for my daughters wedding earlier in July. The house is amazing and even though I had seen photos on the website I still went wow when I went through the front door. Each room has been fantastically designed with comfort and luxury in mind. The kitchen is very well equipped, although if I had a small quibble it would be that the sharp knives were not very sharp. The location of the house is excellent, only a short walk into Keswick and Derwent Water. I must mention Lucie who from start to finish was so accommodating and answered any queries promptly. If I was looking at staying in Keswick with a large group again I would certainly rebook.
An absolutely beautiful house in a brilliant location so close to Keswick. The house is perfect for large groups of people and fully equipped to the highest standard. The views from all rooms are stunning and the house is set in beautiful grounds. If you want to make happy memories with family or friends this is the place to be. We were welcomed by Lucie who was so helpful and a lovely array of welcome gifts awaited us upon arrival. I can highly recommend Bristow Hill. Imported from Google Reviews
A truly outstanding house. We spent Christmas week here with family. The rooms were beautifully decorated with a Christmas theme. The kitchen facilities were excellent as we did all our own catering for the week for over 20 people. All the bedrooms were exceptional. The children enjoyed the outside amenities and there was ample parking for all the cars. Imported from Google Reviews
We invited our extended family to join us at Bristowe Hill to celebrate a 70th birthday. We had high expectations of the property from the website and it certainly did not disappoint. Amazing location and stupendous views from virtually every room. Exceptionally well maintained and luxurious accommodation throughout. Very well equipped to self cater for our 19 guests. Very warm welcome by Lucie at the start of our stay and everything explained clearly. We appreciated the plentiful supply of logs for the open fires. Excellent catering for a big celebratory meal by Debs at Choice Catering. An excellent experience enjoyed by all. Imported from Google Reviews
The house is beautiful and very well situated, close to the amenities in Keswick but detached enough for it not to sfeel like a town house. It is very well appointed and the interior decor is stunning. The kitchens are large and well appointed though we did find the ovens slightly difficult to get started with. Some basic instructions for these may help. For a large party this is a superb house and fully deserves the awards it has received and we had a really good weekend there. Could it be improved? A slightly better music system would help I think we found an Alexa but better speakers in each of the communal rooms would be a nice feature. Instead we did use the piano and that was an unexpected bonus. Overall a really lovely property. For the price, a slightly earlier check in would have been nice 5 pm is a bit late. We are Lakelovers owners too and our check in is earlier.
