Perfectly located venue with very friendly service
Stayed for 2 nights with my wife. In a comfy room which had been refurbished. The room was compact but unless you were planning to spend a whole day in the room, it was perfect for sleeping and getting ready for the day.
We were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who showed us to our room and explained the facilities and was really friendly along with the other staff throughout our stay. Nothing was too much bother and were always willing to help.
The room was clean and the bed very comfy and had two fantastic nights sleep. Breakfast was good with quick service. Parking on site and ample. Only a 10 min walk if that to the town itself.
Would defo recommend this B&B.

Not for Me
Great service and friendly staff. Place is very dated and doesn't reflect the images for the room we got. Booked for a romantic weekend and ended up booking somewhere else.

Great location for Ambleside and the Lakes in general (you can get buses, to other Lake District towns, from Ambleside so can park up and leave the car at hotel).
Really friendly helpful staff. Definitely would stay again if in area.

An ok stay
Reception was wonderful and helpful.
Room was quiet but let down by cleanliness … thick dust on furniture & black dirt on windows.
No water in the morning for a wash or toilet use. Had to resort to going downstairs to use the public toilet.
Informed a staff member who said there was no water pressure in higher rooms and this had been mentioned before, but no management were available.
I had sent a follow up email, but a week after the visit no response received.

Good location, dog friendly hotel
Friendly hotel with good location to explore Ambleside. Dog friendly and even though dogs are not allowed in the restaurant they set up a table in the lounge for you so your dog can accompany you and provide table service. Catered to my needs being gluten free and requiring soya milk and even made my decaffeinated coffee just how I liked it. Will definitely stay again 😄 xx

Excellent location with parking
Excellent location with parking. The hotel was clean and the service friendly. The decor was very old fashioned and dated but sound enough, some light coloured paint would make the building a bit more cheery and bright.
