Review of The Mary Mount Hotel 3*

A beautiful little getaway tucked on the shores of Derwent Water in the Lake District. I visited there with my brother while on a vacation touring the United Kingdom. It was spring time so the area was lush with green trees and blooming flowers. Of course, given the rainfall that area experiences year round, you are pretty much guaranteed green whenever you go. The hotel was charming! Usually a hotel is a nice place to stay and may be luxurious, but this is one of the few where I wanted to actually linger on the grounds, sit on the patio or in the gazebo, or to sit in the welcoming lounge areas. Of course the room was lovely as well. It had two single beds with some nice views out either window. Of course we were eventually drawn away from the hotel's charm to experience the beauty that is the Lake District! The hotel is conveniently located next to several trails of varying difficulty. Recently (2016) there were some serious floods in the areas that washed out some of the trails. So, keep your eye open for redirection. The hotel is suited for walkers but does not cater to them. For us, being tourists and not familiar with the area, the maps they provided were next to useless. We managed to find a good trail or two online and were able to set out. So, if your plan is to hike I recommend you bring your own maps. The restaurant was delicious and the included breakfast was amazing. The staff were friendly and dedicated. It is a charming place to stay and experience the beauty and tranquility of the England's Lake District.
