Very friendly staff, hotel is in a very good location for lake Windermere. Only thing we didn't like was the fact that there was no evening meal available and you had to walk a couple of hundred yards to it's sister hotel which would not be good in adverse weather.

The location was splendid and the room was perfect with a splendid view over Windermere. Breakfasts were good and staff pleasant. We would have liked to be able to have had dinner at Lake House and while we were steered across to their sister establishment it was a bit difficult with stairs and slopes as my wife is very lame.

Friendly, helpful staff, we stayed in one of the hideaway rooms which are located around the back of the hotel which afforded us more privacy. The hotel is 5 mins from the shores of Windermere where you can board a steamer for a cruise up the lake and Ambleside is a pleasant 15 minute walk away. Looking forward to going back.

The hotel is conveniently located for the Waterhead area of Ambleside, and has very friendly staff. We stayed in one of the Hideaway rooms - separate accommodation, each with their own front door, located behind and above the hotel itself. This looked to be recently completed and was very nice indeed. An excellent breakfast was available in the hotel itself. The hotel is rather more than the advertised 10 minute stroll from the centre of Ambleside. Staying in one of the upper Hideaway rooms meant that the ceiling in the bathroom was quite low and I couldn't stand up straight in front of the sink. This wasn't a problem for the one night that we stayed, but might become a bit frustrating if you were there for a week.

On arrival the first thing I noticed were the gardens and the veiw of the Mountains. The hotel looked very grand and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Then our room was very spacious with a large four poster bed and the veiw from the window was breathtaking. Breakfast was very nice and the staff clearaway all of our used items and very helpful. Over all I will be staying again at the Lake house and will be recommending the lake house to family and friends.

Excellent location, free parking, great breakfast and front facing room had extremely good view of lake and fells. Excellent room but only bath available. For older people there was no rail on bath or wall for ease of access and exit. This is a real safety concern and ought to be rectified - although receptionist was aware of this.

The staff and overall friendliness of the hotel was excellent. We were allocated Room 9 which is right at the very top of a very large building. It may be a good idea to let the customer know of the location of the room. I needed a rest every time I went to our room.

The view over the lake was lovely we enjoyed the breakfast and everything was very clean When we arrived we were met by a young foreign lady with a very heavy accent whilst we stood at the desk she dictated a load of rules and regulations about staying there which we could hardly understand, it felt like we were schoolchildren not pensioners. A more friendly approach would have been appreciated.

We thought the room was tastefully furnished and the modern bathroom was well equipped and inviting with underfloor heating. With a flat screen tv in the room and free wifi in the hotel it made for a perfect stay. The staff gave us first rate attention and the breakfast was second to none.

We stayed for two nights in a superior double with four poster bed and magnificent lake views - well worth paying the extra cost. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Lovely modern shower room. The receptionist was extremely friendly and efficient on arrival and departure. Breakfasts were beautifully cooked and the self service style all added to the relaxed atmosphere of the hotel. We will definitely stay here again.

We stayed in one of the Hideaway rooms - Room No17. It was fantastic. Lovely view of the lake. Pity the weather wasn't better because there was some chairs outside on the terrace which would have been lovely to sit and enjoy the view. Staff friendly and informative. Would have preferred the restaurant in the hotel to serve food in an evening! Breakfast faultless, buffet style but replenished with fresh food often. Lovely breakfast room overlooking the lake. Would definately go back.

The staff were extremely efficient, helpful and friendly. We liked the little extras like the ice machine, dvd library and computer on the landing. The breakfast was fantastic - I had kippers which was something different! The reason we rated the hotel 'good' rather than 'excellent' for comfort was because the pillows were really hard! However, this seems very petty, and would not stop us staying here again, because everything else was perfect.
