    Our room was on the front street so it was quite noisy with the traffic starting pretty early in the morning.

    Central location, clean and tidy with separate beds for the kids in the family room.

    Room 2 - toilet door couldn't be locked, and the tap keeps dripping. Room soundproofing is not good - you can hear toilets flushing from the next room.

    Room 2 (triple ) was quite spacious but room 3 (twin beds)was rather tight.

    Extremely small room (although, tbf, we knew we had booked the economy room) but shower was a bit of a struggle! Also, walls were very thin and you could hear next doors conversations some of the time!

    Very clean. Great location...lots of pubs, shops and restaurant in the same road. Also had allocated parking...a necessity in Ambleside. Lots of tea, coffee and hot chocolate provided.

    The noise from the street until early hours of the morning was incredibly loud, people drunk in the street shouting & swearing, someone in the room above banging around & swearing back at them, so sleep not possible . The room secuity system is also difficult to use as temperamental. The bedside lamps didn't work.

    The room was large, clean, comfortable and was conveniently located in the town

    Since there are no food facilities (stated) maybe a bowl / plates and simple cutlery would be an idea as many may bring take out back to room.

    Simple room which was tidy and well spaced. It was central and easy to get in and out of

    The beds were noisy and uncomfortable, the door code was fiddly and difficult to use, too many stairs up to the attic rooms, the bathroom had toe nail clippings from a previous user on the floor, although it was a very hot day in September the radiator in the bathroom was stuck on and so it was like a sauna, there was one very inadequate noisy fan provided. Appreciated the free parking although be aware that it’s a walk away.

    Central Ambleside.

    Bathroom separate to bedroom, across corridor. Didn't bother us much but felt as though it could have been annoying for other guests when we were in and out of the bathroom. We tried to be as quiet as possible. The carpark was a fair walk away through pitch black wooded area on a night which we didn't expect therefore we found alternative parking.

    Room was comfortable, and exceptionally clean. Information regarding check in was clear and concise. Perfect for our stay.

    Dim lighting in the room, poor sound insulation, could hear most of the street outside, the bathroom (while private) was not attached to the room - would have to constantly lock and unlock when using as it was opposite the room via the corridor. The utility (rear) door that goes though to the bins was left open the entire night

    Central location, easy access in and out of the building, parking available outside the property, tea/coffee provided

    Room was clean and comfortable,parking was a bonus and the walk was alright except for the rain but that's Ambleside
