United KingdomAbsolutely stunning location a few feet from the lake and a short 5 minute drive into pretty Ambleside. The hotel is set in beautiful grounds with comfortable clean rooms and friendly welcoming staff.
United KingdomGreat location and more than catering to dogs. Staff were accommodating and set us up in a separate lounge so we could eat with the dog and we were never made to feel uncomfortable if the dog wasn’t behaving, they accepted it was part of having a dog! Food in both the mornings and evenings was exceptional and we will 100% be staying again.
