Lake House  

We both liked it's size. It felt more like a home than a hotel. We had room 6 which had a great bath,loads of hot water and a good overhead shower.The bed was very comfy,good towels etc! Of great importance to us was the quiet location. A good spot for using all the bus links for getting to many different walks. Last but by no means least what a superb breakfast!! Well done to all the staff. Just one suggestion. How about a chair just inside the door so we could take our boots off. It was so cold outside sitting on the car boot to remove them. Many thanks, Mary and Denis Fox

Our room had a lovely bay window overlooking gardens (though not, as the name implies, the lake). The bed was comfortable and the bath was large. We were well-placed for travel around the Lake District. Breakfast (served buffet style) was good, with a nice selection.

We were greeted upon our arrival by a young woman in sloppy, low slung jeans and t-shirt, who hadn't brushed her hair and behaved in a very cavalier way when the bookings proved a bit confusing. The same can be said for her attitude in explaining how the hotel worked. It seemed very out of place with the ratings. Walls were so thin that we could hear people speaking as they entered and left the hotel, and every scoop of ice from the machine rattled in our ears. Also, the bath could have used a bit of updating.

Very comfortable hotel. A short walk to the centre to find lots of shops, places to eat. View from our room was fab overlooking lake/mountains. Comfortable beds. Large room. Nice to have dvd and flat screen tv to watch a film after long day of sightseeing. Big bath to take a soak. Quiet area and rooms were quiet as well. Breakfast was very tasty. Nothing to complain about.

I had several requests for my partners birthday and each one was carried out beyond my expectations...thank you!

Nice rooms, very comfortable, good breakfast, great location

Make sure you know where it is in the event you have to find it in the dark. Obvious when you get there, but the roads around there are a little confusing.

Warm greeting from staff, very comfortable and clean. Breakfast very good. Would recommend to friends and family. Great value for money.

Very friendly, knowledgeable staff, good location, lovely comfortable room with good views. Varied selection at breakfast.

It was a very relaxing stay, Lake house was very attractive building with large bedrooms, plenty of room all around. Staff were very helpful, would get you anything. The breakfast was very nice in a attractive dining room

I think the fact that it did not have a bar, you could buy drinks but had to drink them in your room and only a limit variety, other than the bar could find nothing else wrong with it

T he lake house is in very good postion very quiet area beutiful views nice staff good breakfast we really enjoyed the holiday

We especialiiy liked the location of the Lake House - it's set up on the hill overlooking the pier at Waterhead in Ableside. Our room was a big double room with a huge bay window and wonderful views of the lake. The decor was tasteful; all creams and whites and a cream four poster metal bed with white muslin curtains. The en suite shower room was superb, with under floor heating and a fantastic power shower! Friendly staff gave us a really warm welcome and were geuninely interested in our opinion on the quality of our stay.

A little bit tricky getting up and down the drive or garden on foot. The drive is narrow and steep. The path in the garden is also steep and in the evening it's hard to see the path because of the lighting which was quite blinding.

This is the second time in three weeks that we have stayed at Lake House and we have already booked for the forthcoming half-term! the views are superb, the cleanliness excellent, the staff attentive and friendly.

This is our second visit and we were remembered from our first visit. The price was good and the people were really friendly, also the breakfast was very good. We definately will be going back. Fabulous room and views.
