“Amazing stay in Ambleside”
The location, the facilities, the comfy rooms and beds, the stunning beer garden overlooking the lake - perfect for kids, but the best thing of all - the staff! Helpful, smiley and lovely, all of them, even in high pressure situations and never ending queues on a sunny bank holiday weekend. Someone in our party had an accident (outside of the hotel) and the general manager was really nice, considerate and super helpful, which helped in a very stressful situation. We will definitely be coming back

“Disappointing stay and poor value for money”
The location is good for exploring the Lake District and the room itself was reasonably clean. Staff were polite when spoken to directly.

“Absolutely brilliant stay and would highly recommend to ALL travellers.”
The breakfast was brilliant! Lots on offer, all hot/fresh with regular refills. Each area was clean with ample staff to help if needed. Food was great & the only thing I couldn't see was hot chocolate. Only fault with our room was 1 latch on the skylight not being able to click shut but every other part was exceptional! Clean, spacious, modern and lots of extras too. All the staff we spoke with were friendly and approachable! We had a wonderful view, extra balcony and table to sit outside with and could look out at the lakes. We had dinner in the restaurant once and it was okay, I had a pizza which was fine (but could do with more flavour). The service was wonderful and portion sizes were fantastic.

The room was spacious and the bed was huge and so comfortable. Absolute bliss. We stayed in room 69 and it was absolutely fabulous. we had everything we could possibly need and it was spotlessly clean. The toiletries provided were my favourite too, Sea Kelp, gorgeous. Great you could open windows and if it was cold you could put the radiator on for a short while and the room warmed up very quickly. We loved this room!
