    Would be happy to recommend for a trip

    Comfortable room, attentive staff, and delicious breakfast made my stay enjoyable, especially the quick service I received for breakfast as I needed to eat before my event and they accommodated me instantly.

    drying room

    A good pick for an overnight stopping in Ambleside with great value. The drying room for our wet weather gear was a nice bonus. Bring your own breakfast options for a more personal touch.

    helpful staff

    fantastic access to parks and stunning lakeside walks

    I loved that I could easily stroll to Todd Crag for breathtaking views and that Ambleside Roman Fort was just a short walk away, offering a glimpse into the area’s rich history during my stay last summer.

    ideal location
    cozy atmosphere
    peaceful surroundings
    limited options

    During my stay, I loved the ideal location for walks and enjoyed peaceful surroundings. The cozy atmosphere made me feel right at home. the breakfast options lacked variety for vegetarians. I had a delightful experience and would recommend it to fellow nature lovers.

    good breakfast
    great location
    dated decor
    poor tv reception

    the location was amazin, perfect for walks and close to ambleside. breakfast was really good, def a highlight. the hotel had a cool cabinet full of info for local attractions and walks, so helpful. staff were super friendly and let us check in early, which was nice. comfy room with a lovely view.

    the decor is really dated and the place just kinda feels old. also, the tv reception was terrible and we had to complain to get a smart tv that worked.

    The hotel's traditional decor was charming and welcomed me like an old friend, with cozy nooks perfect for curling up with a book. Accessing the beautiful grounds was easy, making it delightful for all ages.
