Highfield Hotel

Frommer's Review

Constructed in the late 1880s, two former private residences have been skillfully converted into this well-run hotel. The houses were built to take full advantage of mountain and lake views. A veranda, balconies, turrets, and bay windows characterize the architecture. A 5-minute walk from the center of town, the house is furnished in a traditional British way. All the bedrooms are good size and handsomely decorated, many with bay windows where you can sit and soak up the view. The most magnificent room is the spacious and elegant Woodford Room, with a four-poster bed and raised seating area. The main dining room is elegant yet informal with daily-changing menus, using, whenever possible, the best of local produce, such as Borrowdale salmon.
