“What a pity!”

A really great place to stay. 5 mins walk from Ambleside. Very well maintained and comfortable. What a pity that when we arrived late (numerous reasons!) we got a very frosty grueling as to why we were late?! We were then left to our own devices, not told how to get to the village, (there is a short cut, but we didn't know) and generally treated as if we smelt bad when we went to the office. To be fair, Ambleside is overpriced (restaurants) and one is generally treated as if you're an irritation - except for Lucy's!

We stayed in Langdale apartment. Beautiful four poster bed,
comfortable lounge, and a wonderful patio. Everything was so good we are going back at the end of March this year. This will be our fourth time. Most of our friends have stayed at Kirkstone Pass and have gone back many times.

3/3 found this review helpful

Just returned from a weekend in the roomy scafell apartment. Bedding, towels & heating inc in the price!! Have also stayed in the mardale apartment and thats as good!
Brilliant location - leave the car and take a short stroll down the hill and your in ambleside - the less sprightly may not appreciate the hike back up peggy hill!!
Plenty of walks from the doorstep - no need to use the car!

“New Self Contained Flats”

7/7 found this review helpful

I have stayed at the Kirkstone Foot Hotel in one of the detached flats on several occasions.
Last year we had the oportunity to stay in one of the new self containined flats within the hotel itself, and found it to be exceptional.
I could not fault the hospitality, the standard of the room or the grounds.
This is one of our favourite destinations for visiting the lakes.
