Really good option, simple to access location, huge rooms and great facilities. Location is perfect as well, and the car park isn't very far from the accommodation, I actually liked that there was a bit of a walk as it raised my excitement for arriving even more. The local bar two doors down is really nice too. Thank you.

Great as a set down pad

This was a great pad for us to use while walking around the lakes. No aircon meant sweaty nights in a family room, but the room was fine, seperate but private bathroom. Great location.

Lovely building and lovely room. 2 adults 1 child in bedroom 2. Large room with small ensuite shower, toilet and sink. Situated in a lovely street, can be a bit noisy at night with the pub but not enough to annoy us. Will definitely stay again.

Ambleside central stay

Good size clean room with clear information about check in and car parking. Nice bar attached where we ate one night ( Lily Bar). Only slight downside which didn’t spoil our stay was that it was suggested on a notice in the room that bins would be emptied daily and we hoped that if that was done the loo roll would also be topped up but the bins weren’t emptied so we had to ask at the bar for more loo roll which was in fairness delivered very quickly. Good stay overall at a decent price in a good location

Great accommodation, noisy location

The accommodation itself is great. Unfortunately one of the hotels greatest strengths is also a major drawback, at least if you’re a family staying there. There is a very noisy (but good) bar below the hotel. So it was difficult for us and the children to sleep with the music and shouting until the early of hours of the morning.

Just not an enjoyable experience for my wife and I. Car park too far away, too many stairs to climb for elderly couple like us, entrance hallway very dirty. How can this be 4 star property?

Good value for a cheap place to rest your head.

Absolutely fine for a cheaper place to stay as location is good just on a weekend it was very loud. Heard a lot of shouting outside and the hall way didn’t look very inviting. Was clean and we literally just wanted somewhere to sleep as wernt spending any time there.
