Lovely hosts, disappointing room

The hosts were lovely and very welcoming, remembering our names and very dog friendly. The cooked breakfast was great and they were very attentive, the breakfast buffet was a little underwhelming. The room was disappointing, and the pictures on the website seemed deceiving. The decor was very dated, and the cleanliness was sub par. The bath plug was clogged with hair, the towel rail was covered in dust and the mugs in the room weren't clean. The room felt unclean which was a shame.

Warwick, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We were a family of six travelling and we had invited our daughters and their husbands for a long weekend in The Lakes. We made a mistake ordering standard rooms and it was disappointing that we were given a tiny room as the paying part. I guess that’s our fault. Location is perfect with free parking, the staff are amazingly friendly and the breakfast first class. The place needs a good clean and shine up. The garden and exterior looked as though they had been forgotten for the current season. We will revisit but advise all to not book the cheapest room. The next level up were considerably larger and better and we will be booking those next time.

My second time in a year to the Lake District. Great Hotel and excellent rooms. My room was flooded with light and a big comfortable bed. Heating was great and the house keeping. The breakfasts are fantastic and certainly worth the indulgence. It’s located in a lovely village, with breweries, pubs, tea rooms and local craft shops. I highly recommend a stay.

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.
