    Staff friendly and rooms were comfortable and clean. The breakfast was amazing and I like the location. It was nice to have a drink in the bar and the free drinks voucher is great.

    Couldn’t be helped but fire alarm went off in the night. Parking a bit of a faff But that’s all.

    The first and foremost was staff friendliness and helpfulness. Room comfy and clean. Bed so comfy Lovely dinner . And couldn’t fault the breakfast.

    The worst part about this accommodation and Ambleside in general was leaving :(

    Everything was great about this place and it's hard to pick out a single thing. The room was very cozy, location/neighbourhood were fabulous, and the included breakfast was solid gold. Sometimes the pub was going off, but this didn't affect our sleep at all. This place is very sound proof.

    We felt the rooms were a little on the small side, however it would not stop us from staying here again. The menu in the restaurant was a little bit limited.

    Staff were brilliant. Warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Bar area was lovely and breakfast was really nice with lots of choice. Great for people with dogs. Excellent location.

    Only downside was the price which was expensive across the Easter weekend. On normal weekends it is great value for money

    The weather? 😂 Only joking - nothing at all.

    This stay exceeded our expectations! The staff were top of our list - helpful, attentive, charming, friendly and cheerful! The room was great with a very nice bed and bathroom. Good breakfast and a free pint if we didn’t want our room serviced. Right in the middle of town by the bus stop for trips and close to nice shops, cafes and walks. Absolutely lovely stay … those staff have done you proud!

    The only reservation was we stayed on the ground floor of the cottage. And with it being an old building you could literally hear every footstep and creek in the floor from upstairs. Probably didn’t help that the people above couldn’t sit still and sound like they were throwing things around the room and decided to do it either late at night or 5 in the morning.

    Was a nice stay. Staff were super friendly and helpful and couldn’t have done more for us. Food was great too.
