    Hello, Thank you for contacting us. At the Regent Hotel we do not have a view of the mountains but we may recommend our sister property the Ambleside Lake House, that is situated close by and has windows overlooking the mountains. Our recommendation is to book direct in order to get the best prices. Best regards, Reservations at the Regent Hotel
