An ok stay

Reception was wonderful and helpful. Room was quiet but let down by cleanliness … thick dust on furniture & black dirt on windows. No water in the morning for a wash or toilet use. Had to resort to going downstairs to use the public toilet. Informed a staff member who said there was no water pressure in higher rooms and this had been mentioned before, but no management were available. I had sent a follow up email, but a week after the visit no response received.

My second time in a year to the Lake District. Great Hotel and excellent rooms. My room was flooded with light and a big comfortable bed. Heating was great and the house keeping. The breakfasts are fantastic and certainly worth the indulgence. It’s located in a lovely village, with breweries, pubs, tea rooms and local craft shops. I highly recommend a stay.

Unhappy customers

Room number 10.The room was small with little drawer space. The bathroom and in particular the shower was awful and potentially dangerous. On two occasions the water went off whilst showering for two minutes and then came back on scalding my head. I complained to the manager and he said someone forgot to turn something on adding that he would have been furious if it had been him. I showed him my head which was red with the scalding water suddenly coming through. The shower itself was previously one with sliding doors which have been removed and replaced with a curtain which was hardly long enough to stop water getting on the floor causing a slippery surface and thus unsafe The sealant around the shower tray was mouldy and unhygienic. However we are not at all happy and are interested to hear your view on the matter. We feel that we should be compensated for what was probably the worst room and particularly the bathroom we have stayed in

Great service and friendly staff. Place is very dated and doesn't reflect the images for the room we got. Booked for a romantic weekend and ended up booking somewhere else.

Good location, dog friendly hotel

Friendly hotel with good location to explore Ambleside. Dog friendly and even though dogs are not allowed in the restaurant they set up a table in the lounge for you so your dog can accompany you and provide table service. Catered to my needs being gluten free and requiring soya milk and even made my decaffeinated coffee just how I liked it. Will definitely stay again 😄 xx

Great location for Ambleside and the Lakes in general (you can get buses, to other Lake District towns, from Ambleside so can park up and leave the car at hotel). Really friendly helpful staff. Definitely would stay again if in area.
