Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers magnificent views from the excellent rooms, though being on two levels and facing the road made it incredibly warm, leading to some sleep disturbance. The service was extremely friendly and aimed to please, with the location being fantastic right on the edge of the lake. The dining experience was good overall, with a slight concern raised. The facilities were modern and convenient.
The hotel is wonderfully located right on the waterfront, offering stunning views and easy access to nearby attractions. The rooms, though on the smaller side, are clean and comfortable, making for a pleasant stay. The service is top-notch, with friendly and accommodating staff. The dining experience is good but could be improved in terms of temperature for certain dishes. Overall, a great value for money stay with some minor areas for enhancement.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms, although a bit small, were charming and offered complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits with a lovely view of the lake. The service was exceptional, with a very friendly staff despite challenging conditions. The location was perfect for exploring Ambleside and beyond, offering breathtaking views of the lake. The dining experience, while excellent, had some delays. Overall, a great value for a comfortable stay with friendly service.
What a delightful stay! The hotel offers spacious, clean, and well-appointed rooms with a balcony, albeit similar in prices to other overpriced hotels in the area. The friendly and efficient staff go above and beyond, making the service top-notch. The location is unbeatable, right by the lake shore with amazing views and easy access to all the sights. The dining experience was outstanding, although slightly marred by a barking dog. Overall, a place I would highly recommend for a lovely stay in Ambleside.
