Staff were really friendly and helpful. Place was clean and our room was spacious. Breakfast was simple and we were well catered for. We were able to park on the morning of check-in, so we could go for a wander and then check-in later. Hotel is an easy 15 minute walk from Ambleside and it's various amenities.

Comfortable stay

The room was comfortable and clean at a high standard. All staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was all that we needed and tasty. Service at breakfast was also efficient and friendly. The facility was close enough to Ambleside, but far enough to not have all the traffic noise.

Wonderful location

Had a wonderful time not far from centre of Ambleside but also a bus stop 5 minutes walk away which can take you to the pier. It was lovely to park up the car and not need to use it until we went home The gardens were beautiful and lovely to sit outside on an evening with a bottle of wine and enjoy the countryside.

The country house is situated in the most idyllic place, surrounded by beautiful gardens, which you can relax in, and outstanding views of the surrounding fells. The property itself is to the highest standards with large immaculate bedrooms. Breakfast is delicious, with the finest ingredients and a varied menu, served by friendly, helpful staff.

Iconic stay in the heart of the Lakes

A truly evocative stay, in the heart of the Lakes & so convenient to both amazing walks and Ambleside. Iconically old fashioned, but everything is to an amazing standard. Breakfast is all fresh & local. It might be a great side if they offered (pre-booked) packed lunches?
