    Beautiful building set right on the waterfront. We had a lovely bright large room - very well catered for and spotlessly clean. Housekeeping staff were pleasant and so helpful.

    Lovely hotel right on the water front. Food was exception. We had planned to wander around Ambleside to find food and drinks but the bar / restaurant here was perfect. Lovely beer garden, friendly staff.

    It's in a great location, with only a very short walk to the center of Ambleside. It's almost south facing so you see a lot of the sun in the afternoon/evening, great for a meal in the outside seating area.
