Excellent place to stay in Ambleside with clean cosy rooms and friendly staff. They were very accommodating to my request of a slightly earlier breakfast as I had to be out early doors. Would recommend staying here & will definitely be back!

Ambleside was our favorite place visited in England. Beautiful place. The hotel is right next to a fabulous church. Lots of places to walk, shop or eat. Staff was so very nice and the included breakfast was extremely good. I recommend this hotel most strongly. Just awesome.

Very friendly staff, great location with parking, very good breakfast. Room was good, although the TV was a little outdated, minor considering the location but notable. Shower was also just a dribble. Otherwise a great stay.

Very welcoming and friendly; efficient COVID setup which worked well. Really liked the cooked breakfasts and many thanks to the breakfact team for looking after me so well. Good location; <5 minutes walk into Ambleside town centre with lots of restaurants etc, and straight onto Loughrigg Fell via the churchyard and Rothay Park. Only minor quibble is the lack of assigned parking (very small car park, but there are some spaces outside the entrance which are available on a first come first served basis. Would definitely stay here again.

They should not have opened as they treated us like lepers, they were so paranoid, we felt so unwelcome!! Breakfast was a cold bacon or sausage roll, left outside your room in a bag, dry no butter, they said they had no sauce either??? Upon leaving, didnt even ask if we had a good stay, as they kept out of the way, im appalled at the way we were treated!!!
