I like the breakfast, the clean room and location being in the town centre but we still had a quiet night sleep. Free parking was a bonus. Very friendly staff too.

Liza United Kingdom

The property was well located in Ambleside with a Tesco Express 50 m away and many local shops around. The staff was friendly and responded quickly to our request.

Natalie Mauritius

Excellent location in the heart of Ambleside, staff very knowledgeable regarding the area and places we wanted to visit and more than happy to help. Breakfast very plentiful (No Vegetarian) and cooked to order. Lunch/Evening meals very good with a wide ranging menu.

Central location, cleanliness was excellent. Staff were great- helpful and friendly. We didn't get everyone's names but a special mention to Emily.
