Stayed with my man for a rare weekend escape from the kids! It was worth every penny. Staff went out of their way to make our stay stress free and were very kind, helpful and knowledgeable about the local area, the food was divine and our room was very comfortable, cosy and clean. It was just what this tired mum needed! Thank you so much Regent!

We stayed here on one of the Hotel's 5 night deals last week, which represents excellent value for money. The staff are all very friendly and make you feel very welcome. The food is of a very high standard, and very tasty. In the evening you can come down to the bar/lounge area, have a drink, served with a selection of canapes & choose your meal from a different menu every night, the menu offers four or five choices of starter, main & dessert. The lemon bread & butter pudding was my favorite. Coffee & sweets finish off the evening, with more drinks at the bar, and a game of Trivial Pursuit from the selection of games/books available in the lounge.
A very good base for walking, Ambleside is within walking distance with numerous walks availble. A good " Regent" breakfast sets you up for the day (you won't need lunch!), and then you can look forward to a great dinner in the evening after a long rewarding walk.
The rooms are clean & well decorated, not large, but they have everything you need and are cosy. The bathrooms are small, but have what you need in a bathroom!
We have been coming to this Hotel every year for over 10 years, and will continue to come back, as we cannot fault the service or the food and are made extremley welcome.

We stayed at the Regent Hotel in January for a 5 night break with our eight month old baby. Having read some critical reviews on Trip Advisor, particularly regarding babies I was a bit apprehensive.

But I needn't have been. The staff could not have been more welcoming and although the hotel isn't particularly orientated to babies and children we were in no way made to feel we were being awkward. High chairs were provided when necessary, food heated if required and the receptionist even looked after our son for a while one night so we could eat our deserts in peace!

We were in room 1 on the first floor of the main building, which was a family room with a travel cot, double bed and single bed. There was plenty of storage and the en suite bathroom was modern and clean, very powerful shower was great. Our room overlooked the front of the hotel and over to Lake Windermere. Have no complaints about the room at all, was lovely.

We ate in the restaurant, sometimes at the earliest sitting at 6.30pm with our baby, or leaving him in the room and eating later with the majority of the residents. The waiting staff were lovely and the food was absolutely top notch. Our dinners were included in the package which was amazing value. There was a small supplement for a couple of items on the menu each night (usually prawn starters and steak mains) but even taking this in to consideration still great value. We enjoyed every meal we had, and breakfast was lovely as well with a great selection available.

The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from Ambleside which has loads of shops, restaurants etc. Hotel also has loads of parking in the grounds.

We used the swimming pool every day, it was nice and warm and clean and in the summer there are sliding doors on to the central courtyard. The pool has a jet machine too. We also used the hotels DVD library.

We had a great stay, and had a super deal which appears to be on every winter, five nights for £199 pp dinner bed and breakfast.

Brilliant, would definitely return!

Stayed at The Regent on the Lake last week - can thoroughly recommend. Had a room on an internal courtyard. Nice small indoor swimming pool but best of all the location right next to Lake Windermere. Lots of parking. 5 minute walk into Ambleside for shopping. Got a realy good deal midweek on the Internet.
