Booked a suite £130 and was given the Sail Loft. Access is by a metal fire escape right next to the main public Ambleside car park. You cant see the lake from the room as the dorma windows face away from the lake. You have to go outside your room and stand at top of fire escape staircase to see... more

An excellent three night short break for DBB as a 'package'. Very good food and service in the restaurant with plenty of choice, immaculate en-suite bedroom with comfortable bed and very modern facilities. There was ample parking and an attractive courtyard with lovely floral decorations. We were very well looked-after by all the staff, especially the fit young barman. We... more

Cannot believe that MummykinsYork stayed at the same hotel at approximately the same time as we did. The reception was excellent and we were told all about the late, late breakfast (until 12.00noon).

Definitely not worth the money we paid to stay here. The only good things about his hotel are the location and the breakfast.

The room was spacious comfortable and very clean. The staff were friendly, polite and hepful. The breakfast were delicious and had plenty of... more

Just come back from a short stay at this hotel. Perfect position within walking distance of the lake. Very close to Ambleside town centre. Staff friendly and helpful in particular the bar and restaurant staff. Some rooms were being refurbished - replacement carpet on the day we were leaving in the next room. We stayed in a superior room which... more
