I have posted about 30 reviews on Trip Advisor over the past few years. I believe them all to be fair, just and accurate in every way. I have only ever given a full 5 stars to one hotel up till now - This is my 2nd. The Rampsbeck quite simply exceeds our expectations in every department, The Location -... more

The reviews of this hotel do a great job of describing what it's like to stay at Rampsbeck Country House so I only have a few things to add: we had a room with a view of the lake and it was very large, had a huge television and a little balcony.Very nice and comfy. Decor is definitely a little... more

Bound to agree with most of the other reviews. The staff are very attentive without being obtrusive. We did not eat dinner so cannot comment but the breakfast was fine without being spectacular. The location is excellent, right on the shore of Lake Ullswater. The public rooms are nicely furnished and decorated and every inch the English country house. Our... more

This really is a lovely hotel, beautifully furnished, excellent service and owners who never stop working! Walking through the front door, you realise that this is something special and that "something special" goes on and on. The location, the views across Ullswater, the gardens and this fabulous Country House. The food was excellent and the service matched it! If you... more

We stayed in Rampsbeck (Silver Crag) for four nights at the beginning of September. Firstly, we were really warmly welcomed by Mrs Gibb - which is very much appreciated after a long journey and also given that we are in our thirties and younger than your average Lake District Country House guest, we have, in the past (most notably at... more

Booked this HOtel as a birthday treat for myself and father. Position great good service with marvellous food although a stay more than two days may have resulted in a change of wardrobe as everything was too good to miss. Minor complaint was lack of tea and coffeemaking facilities although I did hear someone asking for a kettle so they... more

We stayed at the Rampsbeck for 5 nights, booked at short notice. It's a lovely building on the shore of Ullswater, with its own grounds. The gardens & views are great. There are several large public rooms downstairs, with plenty of comfy armchairs to relax in. The staff are very friendly. As we had booked at short notice, we had... more

This excellent hotel is situated in a beautiful location on the Banks of Ullswater and we stayed in a superior room with a stunning view overlooking the lake. The owners were cheerful, friendly and very welcoming, and during our three day stay, they couldn't have done enough for us. The room was spotlessly clean, very spacious and featured a superb... more

We chose the Ramspbeck Country House Hotel as the venue for our wedding reception on Saturday 9th June this year and couldn’t have wished for a more picturesque, well-managed and delightful hotel. The owner, Marion Gibb and her team were fantastic – every need was tended to. Our meal, even catering for 35 guests, was exceptional. Many of our guests... more
