Great breakfast. Great location opposite the northern end of Lake Windermere. Excellent dinners on the couple of occasions that we had dinner here. Ideal base for touring the Lake District. We would certainly stay here again if in the Lake District.

My suggestion on leaving was that when two or more people are sharing a room and do not require the towels to be changed daily, that the towels should be left neatly where they are found, to ensure they know which is their used towel. Some people may not mind using someone else's used towel, but I think that would be the minority. I had the chicken curry in the bar whereby the menu indicated that it was accompanied with sticky rice, but was in fact served with boiled rice. Had I been advised I wouldn't have been disappointed.

It's a little unfair to say this, but I didn't like the following : The wifi in our room was not strong enough to allow us to watch catch up TV on our Amazon Fire Stick without buffering, and secondly, some of the TV channels we are used to appear to be not available in your area.
The location by the lake is fine

We could find no fault with the Regent Hotel. Some of the bedrooms are a tad on the small side, but all are comfortable. As an adult family group we had 2 rooms booked.
Breakfast was excellent, as was dinner on the 3 occasions that we had dinner here. Staff very helpful and friendly. Location is great, opposite Windermere lake front; about 15 minutes walk from Ambleside town centre.

I can happily say that the I can not fault the room and location was a perfect view of the lake.
The room was very clean and a good size, the staff especially the kitchen and service staff couldn't do enough for us and made us feel welcome and comfortable.
