Room was great and very clean, staff very helpful and polite, breakfast was good but was very cramped as the tables were very small and we found that you had to pull 2 tables together, couldnt do this if there were lots of people staying, overall very satisfied. More

It is exceptionally clean and manages to find the perfect combination of modern and traditional. Its best assets are; location, parking, room size, buffet... More

The staff were both friendly and helpful, the room was lovely, and the breakfast was tasty and plentiful. The hotel is situated in a great place, the centre of Ambleside is on one direction and a beautiful walk around lake windemere... More

We really appreciate you taking the time to write a review and it's good to hear that overall you had an enjoyable time with us at Lakes Lodge. We are really surprised to hear that you felt Lakes Lodge was not pet friendly and that £10.00 per night was an excessive amount for your dog. We have a lot of... More

I've stayed here twice now and each time I've gone for a superior room which has been great value. You never get any noise from other rooms, the rooms are spacious, clean and modern and the location of the hotel in reltion to everything in Ambleside is absolutely ideal. I've also stayed in the sister hotel The Regent and they're... More

Lakes Lodge was great, the staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good food was fresh and hot and not fatty like a lot of English breakfasts we have been served in the past. Food was brought out often and in small amounts which meant there was plenty to go round. The room we had was large decorated nicely and... More
