I stayed with colleagues at end of January. All staff, without exception, were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was very good with a varied choice. We had breakfast, lunch and evening meals - not one meal was a disappointment. I stay in a lot of hotels and often breakfast., even in expensive hotels, is not... More

Not the last word in luxury and we were upgraded to a superior room as there were few other residents but more than adequate. Staff especially friendly and accommodating. This is a characterful building (probably more so, years back). The room was spacious and whilst the bathroom was somewhat basic, it sufficed for what was a two-night stay. If this... More

Good central location, good choice, friendly staff, nice food worth a visit More

The £10 for two courses seemed a good deal. I had though it impossible to ruin roast potatoes, but the chef managed. Peas inedible & beef thin & cheap. Not to be recommended. There are plenty of other places & we only tried here on arriving late in Ambleside in pouring rain. More

The lack of customers on a busy day in Ambleside should have been a cue to go elsewhere. However, two courses for £9.95 sounded reasonable and being hungry and weary we decided to give it a go. What a mistake! We ordered roast beef and Yorkshire pudding for two, followed by rhubarb crumble & custard along with ice cream. The... More

Rest of staff friendly, just met with a rude receptionist barking orders at us!!! Food not too bad, but served by an old lady which could have come right out of an "Acorn Antiques" sketch, think Julie Walters "2 soups sketch"!! Room a bit shabby, could do with redecorating the whole place. Had a lovely time in Ambleside, position of... More
