Our room was really accommodating with a king and bunk beds for three generations of “girls”! Nice breakfast included. If you forgo cleaning service, an adult beverage was included for each guest for one night.

Really nice place for a night or two

A lovely comfortable room, with amazing views. It can be a little noisy if you're a light sleeper. Convenient location in the middle of Ambleside, close to Windermere. Bar is very nice with a decent range of drinks. I'd happily stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Looks nice, however the room was quite small, but doable for one night. The staff were also friendly, but quite odd and not flexible. The manager (I think) kept putting a reserve sign on every table I sat at in the bar, even though other tables were free. I think it was a power trip because I challenged their room availability at 2.55 when check in was at 3

The hotel was good. We were in an annex, which you would have selected when booking (which we didn’t). We’d have preferred to be in the main building, for convenience and ambience, however, the room was good and clean. The staff were great and the bar area was really nice, plus it’s very central. Overall, we’d stay again.

An okay stay, rooms fine and warm. Stayed two nights and not made up after first night. The most annoying thing about this place was ordering a Pepsi Max in the bar and being charged £4.50 for it. Don't rip off your customers.
