Good location helpful staff value for money

Lovely hotel, menu could be a little more geared to local food. Rooms lovely but stairs were an issue for me as I did not realize how narrow and steep they were. All in all a nice stay.

This ia a great budget hotel. At first was taken aback by the need to check in at the bar. Rooms seem to be recently remodeled and comfortable. Walking distance to town. Charming and clean pub.

Fire alarm went off early in the morning

Great property, right on lake. Lovely views, large beer garden looking on to lake.

Good location. Room was small but perfectly adequate and with nice bathroom. Lake view was not great - large flat room in front of us. Nice gardens on the edge of the lake. The Waterhead Inn next door had a great team working there, more friendly. We ate there and that was very good. Easy to walk into Ambleside, no need to drive which is a huge bonus. Lovely countryside and walks.

Overall very comfortable stay. At check in, the layout of rooms could have been explained. It took us two days to work out the quickest and easiest way to our room. Breakfast was a first class buffet. Everything seemed to be cooked well, i.e. fried egg yokes were still runny, bacon was not over cooked as is often the case, tomatoes were still solid, not overcooked. Unfortunately the fire alarm went off three times during our stay. All false alarms, one at 06.00 in the morning. There really should be staff going round reassuring people that it was a false alarm. I think the hotel was a little under staffed but I know it is difficult to get staff these days. An example would be one of the most popular bitters running out and the barman not having time to change the barrel because there were no staff to cover and it was busy. Lovely position overlooking the lake.

The service buildings overlooked by the balconies need tidying up and hidden by hedges/ shrubs/ trees. The shower trays should have anti slip mats provided. Disappointed that no fridge provided

Lovely position overlooking the lake . Friendly staff.

Great stay would go back

Nice hotel in a good location on lake Windermere and just a short walk to Ambleside town centre

Room was tiny, the sink wasn’t even in the bathroom, it was in the bedroom. We found a sock left by someone else on the radiator. No fan was in the room. All round pretty poor unfortunately.

Great central Venue for my wife's birthday . Excellent staff , great food . Good central location for getting out and about .

Greeted by super-friendly and helpful staff. Room was a really good size for a standard double and had great views of the lake. The food at the pub was excellent for dinner as well as the breakfast. Easy parking. Will return in the summer!

Lovely hotel with a great bar for food and drinks. Only downsides were my double room was really quite small and the shower was almost claustrophobic. I came into my room to find dirty marks on my duvet. Location is great and the scenery is spectacular!

The room was modern and clean with a fantastic, powerful shower. Food downstairs was delicious. The only negative I would say is that check in is performed by a person who also has to make coffees and deal with cellar issues.

Only a single night stop-over but found the hotel was excellent. Quirky building, the room we had was lovely. Bar-restaurant was also to be recommended. Only fault we found was the tv signal kept falling out.

Location

Excellent place to stay! Comfortable bed, dining was delicious and convenient to have both a restaurant and bar onsite. Great water pressure and beautiful view! We visited in the winter so not much exploring of the lake but woke up to nothing short of a winter wonderland.

Fab-u-lous! Amazing experience. We would like to thank Cas, Mike and Zoe and so many others for looking after us and spoiling us. Cannot wait until our next visit.

Reasonable value for money, friendly staff and fine food. Thank you

Everything was absolutely wonderful

The hotel is located for easy reach for Ambleside and great for transport to Bowness & Windermere, the room was very clean and spacious , we had an evening meal and the food was fantastic, also great choice for breakfast in the morning, would highly recommend

This was a lovely place to stay at. We recommend it.

The lights on the path to the car park did not work.

Loved being able to walk into Ambleside, and being right on the lake was lovely. It was beautiful and so enjoyable to sit lakeside to have meals, and see the lake from our room. Really enjoyed our stay.

Nice hotel, really friendly staff, great location.

Loved our stay nice friendly staff. Lovely food Really enjoyed ourselves. Will definitely come back

Despite not being able to arrive here until late, we received a very cheerful welcome from our hostess who even showed us our room. Excellent space and furnishings and waterside view beautiful, especially from the pub garden. Good mixed hot and cold breakfast. Excellent stay.

Amazing location rooms fantastic food brilliant

Overall the hotel is good. Clean, comfortable and the food good. The room is clean and comfortable and house keeping was good with tea/coffee etc refills, bed made and clean towels. However room 6 should not be booked as the noise from the kitchen and venting system is bad. Loud booms from the metal vents and sounds like beer barrels being moved.

Good place for a weekend away by the lake and the can walk to the ferry station on the lake . Only one thing I would say about the rooms you can here everyone else is rooms no soundproof.
