United KingdomThere was nothing to not like. The location was fantastic, within walking distance of the town and lake Windermere. There was ample parking for the guests and the rooms were clean and tidy. The breakfast was great and had a lot of options, cereals, vegetarian, full english, fruits, yoghurts, loads of tea and coffee. Would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone staying in Ambleside. The hosts were accommodating and friendly, made our stay in Ambleside perfect, thank you!
United KingdomEverything,breakfast,location the warm welcome helped make a wonderful 2 day break ,would have loved longer
United KingdomLocation was excellent just outside the main town centre. Room was spotlessly clean & fairly new I'd say. Service & hospitality was excellent, wide range of breakfast options available. Catered for an additional party member who was stopping somewhere else & all within the Covid guidelines. Well worth the delayed visit & would book there again.
