Good location, dog friendly hotel
Friendly hotel with good location to explore Ambleside. Dog friendly and even though dogs are not allowed in the restaurant they set up a table in the lounge for you so your dog can accompany you and provide table service. Catered to my needs being gluten free and requiring soya milk and even made my decaffeinated coffee just how I liked it. Will definitely stay again 😄 xx

Great location for Ambleside and the Lakes in general (you can get buses, to other Lake District towns, from Ambleside so can park up and leave the car at hotel). Really friendly helpful staff. Definitely would stay again if in area.

Excellent location with parking
Excellent location with parking. The hotel was clean and the service friendly. The decor was very old fashioned and dated but sound enough, some light coloured paint would make the building a bit more cheery and bright.

Friendly staff, great location, hotel dated
Hotel has an excellent location right in the middle of Ambleside. Very short walk to shops/pubs/restaurants. Friendly staff, comfy bed, excellent breakfast. However the Hotel is getting dated and could do with a freshen up, guess it depends what your after and how much time you will spend in the room.
