Avoid room 6. The smallest room we have ever had h

Breakfast was the high point of the stay. Our room was a big cupboard. 6 yards by 3 1/2 yards. One broom cupboard for a wardrobe. No stowage for clothes so had to live out of a suitcase. Hand luggage had to be stored in the shower room. Mouldy window frames need to be sorted. Not an ideal stay for our four nights. We felt like the poor relations. My wife cried on arrival and wanted to go straight home. A nightmare. On the plus side. The staff were friendly and obliging. The location was perfect. In other words, avoid room 6. Highly overpriced for what we had. Perhaps other rooms were better but we stuck it out.

A must stay in Ambleside

What a lovely stay in a beautiful location, dog friendly which really helped. Special mention to Joanna who was so personal and couldn’t do enough for us. Remembering names and being a superb host. We absolutely will be back to stay

Staff efficient and welcoming. Ability to park and easily walk in to Ambleside was very convenient. Room was small but this is what we paid for and it had everything you needed and was very quiet being at the top of the property. Breakfast was good and service was quick and friendly.
