    We didn't eat dinner at the restaurant as the menu online had only a couple of veggie options. There may have been a further menu but we didn't explore.

    Wonderful suite with great bathroom and steam room and sauna. Staff were super friendly Great breakfast

    Nothing, this hotel has everything covered. The only thing I didn’t like was having to leave.

    The breakfast is great something to suit every pallet. The full English available and almost anything else you could want is available. The bar area, rooms and restaurant are lovely areas to sit and relax.

    The only thing that could be improved was the toast. There was a selection of delicious homemade breads on the buffet but if you asked for toast you received dreadful sliced white/brown!

    Room was very comfortable and had all the facilities you could want. The spa was small but lovely. The staff are a real asset. So helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast was excellent - huge array of choice. Dinner was good but not exceptional.

    Hotel looks slightly tired from the outside but thankfully made up for it on the inside..our only niggle if any would be that maybe could put a time slot on children in the swimming pool..wasn't a big issue but have stayed in numerous other hotels which do have times for children. Not a big issue just if you want a serious swim..

    Had a lovely relaxing stay,staff absolutely excellent all very welcoming and greated with a smile..very helpful too.restaraunt perfect. Food amazing and breakfast one of the best we've had..definitely will return

    The only thing was that the sitting area out the front of the hotel closes at 8.30, in the summer I would love to sit out for a little longer with a drink watching the world go by.

    The hotel was in a perfect location overlooking the ambleside town. Staff were so helpful, polite and generous. We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed the spa and had a massage each, it was so relaxing and clean. The food was amazing, best breakfast ive had when staying at a hotel. I will definitely be returning.

    Only complaint was the temperature in our room. It was SO hot. They provided a fan straight away but unfortunately, the fan was rubbish and did nothing. We found out on checkout that some of their rooms do have aircon. We’d request this if we stayed again.

    Perfect location. Parking available. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Room was fab, really spacious, clean and comfortable. Leisure facilities were really nice and a great treat for an hour following a day of walking. Breakfast was amazing! Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful, easy check in. Situated in the town center everything on the doorstep, shops, pubs etc. 30min walk to lake/boat rides to Windermere etc. Check times and you can get a 'all day pass' if booked before 11am, you can book online. A beautiful part of the world, relax and recharge. It is the lakes so expect hils, narrow roads and tight corners. Room was comfortable, bed a little too hard for me, but fine, tea/coffee, small fridge, towels, robe and slippers, shampoo etc all provided. It was hot when we stayed and the room was a little on the warm side. In the lakes this is not usually an issue.  Breakfast was lovely with a wide range of choice including hot, cold options, vegetarian and vegan options. Staff were very helpful and you were able to add/delete anything from full breakfasts available. Nice to have free parking available right next to hotel. Would stay here again.
