I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room had a small window for ventilation, offering a glimpse of the beautiful mountains. I especially enjoyed relaxing on the balcony and the patio. The service was top-notch, making me feel truly valued as a guest. The location was ideal, situated in the picturesque Lake District close to both the serene shore of Lake Windermere and the bustling town center. The dining experience, with the tasty home-made jams, added a delightful touch to my stay. Overall, a great value for money with lovely facilities.

The hotel sits in a prime spot, very close to the Ambleside town center and near everything you might need. The rooms come with a view of the mountains and boast very comfortable beds, but the small window for ventilation didn't quite tackle the temperature issue. Service felt lacking, but the dining, especially the cheese sandwiches, was a savory delight.
