We stayed for just one night having got a late deal. We were allocated The Latterbarrow Suite - it was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The attention to detail was obvious right down to the personalised welcome letter on the bed. The food was delicious even though we only had a bar meal and the staff were exceptionally polite and welcoming.... More

Visited this hotel by chance over the early May Bank Holiday after getting a late deal. The Suite we were allocated was worthy of a much higher graded hotel (as was the hotel in general). Staff were very smart and couldnt be more helpful. We had an evening bar meal and breakfast and both were excellent and of very good... More

Stayed for three nights at the end of April after searching the internet for hours looking for a reasonable hotel. We were not disppointed. First big tick is the ample car park, plenty of room. Second, it is situated within 50 metres of the Lake and having timed the walk of 15mins into Ambleside it is a great base to... More

Had a three night stay 29/4 to 1/5 Breakfasts and evening meals were spot on in terms of selection and quality. Service in all areas was world class. Public areas and guest rooms are modern and 100% clean. Amazing location grounds and ample free parking. Thank you we will return.

We stayed 2 nights in a garden room which was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. The bathroom boasts a jacuzzi bath and modern fittings and our overall impression of the accommodation was better than expected. We found the staff more than obliging and friendly and indeed nothing was a bother to them. Breakfasts were varied and plentiful and the restaurant... More
