More Reasons to Go

  • Dating from Tudor times and a Victorian former mill, The Whitewater Hotel is full of character. The property sits beside the River Leven in the Lakeland village of Backbarrow. Lake Windermere is five minutes' drive away.
  • The Cascades Leisure Club & Spa "makes the most" of its location (The Times). "There's a striking river view from the pool and loungers".
  • Climb aboard the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway. Steam trains depart from Haverthwaite station (15 minutes' stroll away) and chug through the Leven Valley.
  • The Lakeland Motor Museum is five minutes' walk from the hotel and has an extensive collection that traces 100 years of motor heritage. The Campbell Bluebird Exhibition features replicas of the cars and boats that smashed speed records.
  • Fell Foot, run by the National Trust, is five minutes' away by car. From the Grade II-listed boathouses, tread beside the water's edge on a heritage trail. Alternatively, take to the water with Windermere Lake Cruises. Departures are from Lakeside Pier, also a 5-minute drive away.
*Supplements for steak and cheese board apply

Whole hotel was tired and need of refurbishment Noise from apartments above Leisure facilities limited, pool cold and steam room a little dangerous from the steam input Dining room understaffed a breakfast Breakfast on last day chaotic - with an hour to go there was no cups, no glasses, no hot water, no milk, no sausages. The staff did their best, but it was not good enough. The evening meal menu was the same every day, the soup was the same variety daily as were the pies.

Room dated , windows dirty and balcony not accessible , bed too small and uncomfortable and could not sleep due to noise from the river . Atmosphere soulless

Enjoyed the Travelzoo voucher which included a 2 course meal, bottle of wine and overnight in a large room, with a dual aspect view of the river. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot and there were bathrobes provided. The breakfast was do it all yourself. The plates were cold, so the hot breakfast was spoilt. The gardener chatted to us, telling us about the area. Although the hotel would benefit from a refresh, it did not impact on our enjoyment.
