On the 24 August we stayed at Rampsbeck Country House Hotel on the shores of Ullswater in the quieter corner of the Lake District. This hotel was a 'Top 200' in the AA Hotel Guide, with 3 red stars and 3 rosettes for dinner. It certainly lived up to expectations, being easily the best hotel on our tour. Our room was beautifully furnished, with a view across the gardens to the lake and fells. There were four lounges, including the bar, where light meals were served at lunch time. The dining room was large and well-furnished, the food was superb and the service both attentive and friendly. As for price; expensive but not the most we paid on the tour. Bed and breakfast was cheaper than our usual hotel in Guernsey, lunch was reasonably priced and the fine dinner and wine were pricey but less than we paid in Amsterdam. The conclusion is; at Rampsbeck you really do get what you pay for !
