It’s a beautiful property in a gorgeous location. Surrounded by green hills and good walking trails! The complimentary continental breakfast was perfect, dinner in the downstairs pub was delicious and it was cosy with the fireplaces lit, had live music, a good selection of food and drinks. The room was super comfortable, warm, plenty of blankets, a lovely view and spacious enough for the two of us. Bed and pillows were comfy, shower was hot, and the room had a kettle for tea and coffee. Was honestly brilliant. Staff were very friendly and helpful too. And so many cats and dogs and ducks!! Loved it.

The hotel manager Morgan really demonstrated exemplary hospitality. He personally drove us out of a storm to the hotel when the trains shut down and the taxis in the vicinity were not in service. He also upgraded our room when the storm affected WiFi in some parts of our hotel and saw to it that we were comfortable and cosy. 10/10 hospitality, and by far the absolute best travel experiences with a Hotel we've had and could've asked for (and it isn't even close!). Choose Beech Hill Hotel and Spa if you're in the vicinity. You'll be well taken care of : )

We stayed in the Seductive Suite, it was a beautiful room with the decor, lots of space, beautiful bathroom, we loved the mood lighting and the bed was so comfy. We loved the special touches like the vanity area and the under floor heating and the tv on the wall in the bathroom. It was the best hotel that we have ever stayed in and it was my boyfriend’s birthday as well. We will definitely be coming back.

The view is incredible! We were in the dog friendly room and the view of the hill was spectacular. It's surrounded by sheep and you can easily walk down to the lake. We enjoyed wine with our feet in the water and then a drink at their bar in the lounge. Free easy parking, comfy bed and a good shower!

Weather not great 1st day, but we made best of it. Really love the feel of Ambleside, 3rd time here. Peeps very friendly. Scenery fantastic. Spent 2nd day in Keswick, also amazing. Great vibe in centre. Keswick Launch boat trip on Derwent Water brilliant way to see the surrounding mountains. Stopped at Windermere on way home & walked up Orrest Head, hard going, but so worth it for the awesome views. Delicious meal in San Pietro Italian to finish.

I love Windermere. I was born in UK and return regularly to visit friends. I honeymooned in Windermere so it has very happy memories for me. Over the years I have seen some changes on the whole an improvement. I do hope it doesn’t get too busy otherwise it could be spoilt.I really enjoyed my steamer and train trip this time. When back in Australia I will have some good memories of this visit. Even the weather was kind!!

Good walks to Wray Castle and Claife Viewing Station overlooking Windermere.

Location is handy for Hill Top (Beatrix Potter) and Hawkshead where there are ample places to eat.

The location is a great place for walkers to enjoy without having to get in their cars and drive elsewhere. The walks from the town are many and of various choices between easy and difficult. A hard walk up to the High Street with its fantastic views of all the lake district fells or a gentle stroll up the Troutbeck valley to the Tongue are both enjoyable and relaxing in their own ways to name but two of the many.

Pretty hamlet with 2 excellent pubs serving great food. Easy walking area from the hamlet and access to more challenging walking not far away. Away from the tourist traps of the Lake District. Would recommend eating at The Hare and Hounds for upmarket gastro pub food. The Masons Arms also serves good pub food. The Punchbowl at Crosthwaite is a 10 min drive away and is a very good restaurant
