“We did really enjoy our stay. everything was very clean and the apartment very well appointed.”

- • Superior Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
We didn't expect to be in an apartment separate from the main house, which meant we had to walk across to the house for breakfast. This was not really a problem for us as we had lovely weather, but it could have been if we'd had rain in the mornings. It would also have been nice to have a lounge to sit in and have a drink after a long day, but the house was locked after 9pm. Also worth mentioning, I thought Ambleside Lake House was closer to Ambleside centre, but it is nearly a mile which most people are able to walk, but although I could walk that far, because of mild arthritis I can't walk most of the day as well. This hotel is set up from the road with a long driveway, and parking can be difficult.
The staff were great and very helpful, the room was lovely, very clean and there was plenty of space in the bathroom to put your toiletries etc. The bed was very comfortable too. Also the view from the large picture window was excellent over the lake.

A slight issue was that we were in a room next to reception and at the bottom of the stairs. We could hear conversations at reception and stair noise. Otherwise the room was lovely
The location was excellent. Lake side and central to the Lake District. A short stroll into Ambleside. Breakfast and service was excellent with a good choice of breakfasts. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. The gardens were lovely.

For s deluxe room we had plastic tumblers which broke in your hand. The toilet was by a window and although s blind was provided it made room dark. Better to have lower window obscured. Sink very small for men to shave in. We had room number 4 and paid extra for a room with view.
Comfortable bed very clean and tea coffee making. Bottle of Prosecco in room also bottled water biscuits and Kendal mint cake. Beautiful views. Breakfast very nice and lovely breakfast room. Toiletries in bathroom. Very quite location would recommend

Fresh milk in room would have been nice and some better tea/coffee facilities. No DVD player despite a large dvd library to loan. Room was right next to reception/ front door which might bother some with the comings and goings but we didn't mind.
Great comfy bed in a beautiful room with a good view, friendly staff and an amazing breakfast. Hotel location was perfect for accessing lake Windermere and also the stunning village of Ambleside. We really loved this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

“Relaxing Ambleside stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple

- • Stayed 2 nights
There isn't much to fault. There was a bottle of prosecco in the room which we were confused about- not sure whether you're expected to pay extra for it if you drink it? It was warm and there were no glasses so we left it.
The location was good (if you don't mind a 15-20min walk into the town)- just across the road from the lake and a good pub and fish and chip shop. The pub has a large outside area which I can imagine is very popular in warmer weather. We stayed in one of the separate annexed type rooms which was nice as it is a little different. The bed was really big and comfy and the shower was powerful. We were given a choice of food for the cooked breakfast with the usual eggs, bacon, sausages, veggie option etc as well as cereals, fruit, yoghurt.
