"Although the decor and building felt a bit dated - lots of dark wood and patterned carpets - it was very clean and the staff were brilliantly friendly - remembering our names to greet us in the morning. The breakfast was straightforward and tasty and arrived quickly - loved the fact that there was cake on the breakfast buffet! It was quiet at night too. Had to air the room as there was condensation on the inside of the sash windows but wondered if that was because it wasn't possible to double-glaze them. It was plenty warm enough in chilly March and had a lovely warm shower and big fluffy towels. The room itself didn't have a lot of space for storage, just a small slightly musty cupboard which we didn't use in the end. It would have been nice to have some herbal tea and biscuits in the room. I think it's generally quite expensive to stay in the lakes as this was more than we would normally pay to stay but the location was excellent for walking and Ambleside itself. "

"Comfortable and clean room. Restaurant food was delicious, bar staff were great and a good range of beers to choose from. Overall we had a great 2 nights stay."

"The breakfast was traditionally and freshly made. The parking was good, the room clean and the staff friendly. "

"We had an excellent short stay. Friendly and helpful staff, nice rooms and good breakfast right in the centre of Ambleside. Would certainly stay again. "

"We have just got back from a wonderful stay at this charming hotel. The location, staff and facilities are fantastic, it is a lovely building. We've stayed in many hotels but this one really delivered on all fronts. We really appreciated the views from our bedroom which were absolutely awesome (from our room we could see Windermere and the surrounding scenery) we felt so lucky. The pool was lovely, clean and well serviced, with complimentary towels. The hotel gardens were beautiful. The restaurant and bar was a delightful experience, we enjoyed both evening meals and our breakfast, plenty of choice in terms of food and diet to suit most tastes. We will certainly be booking again and can't wait to return. Thank you so much to management and staff who went out of their way to make our stay memorable."

"Didn’t use bar"

"A very enjoyable stay. Very friendly staff, lovely room, delicious food and a great location. Very comfortable bed and clean contemporary bathroom. "

"Fabulous upgrade to a newly decorated suite, thanks! Beautiful space and going to try and book to go again with my husband. Didn’t get time to use the facilities this time but there’s a charge to use unless you book direct. The allocation for the evening meal on the HB package is £35. You can pay extra if you so wish. We happened to be seated next to the grill area so got chatting with the cook there. I had the most amazing steak - perfectly seasoned with a sauce. He also advised on the type/size of steak options. Based on what we saw my friend had a burger. It was lush and my steak was certainly the nicest in a long time. Chips came with a herb on which detracted from the flavour and we both left a lot. Ordinary fries or plain chips would have been better. Great breakfast next day and decent sized beakers to get a drink from of machine. Lush hot choc! Two guys were on their phones at different tables discussing work matters close to me which detracts from a relaxing brekky. I was almost going to move as it went on maybe ten mins. Hospitality nationally needs to consider signs asking people to consider the impact of such calls on other diners. Selfish! The chap two tables up said he didn’t want something going in the press but he talked about it. Despite this, it’s my third stay at this hotel and can recommend. Easy for M6 proximity and half way stage for my friend and I to meet. We usually book a separate room too so we can sleep well which I did with hotels. Com. "

"Fabulous, really friendly staff who couldn’t do enough to ensure you were happy. Gorgeous freshly cooked breakfasts. Would highly recommend "
