Just stayed for two nights but found the staff friendly and eager to place. We needed a very early breakfast and arrangements were made without any problem. The place is centrally located, was immaculately presented and the breakfast excellent. Would go back any time!

Stayed during Easter break, it was great place. Very clean, good location, quite but just minutes to the centre of Ambleside and a short walk to Windermere. The owners were very attentive and friendly, always willing to give advice about the Lake District, from trails and places of interest to things to do while waiting for the train... Breakfast was...

We have recently stayed at this hotel for 2 nights .It was chosen as a result of reading trip advisor reviews, and we were not disappointed. The hotel is situated about 3 mins walk from the centre of Ambleside, so the car can be left in the car park. There are several room standards, and we had a double standard... More
