My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic for exploring Ambleside, the room was a good size but lacked cleanliness, and the service was friendly though not exceptional. The dining experience left much to be desired, with limited options. The overall value for money was a bit questionable.

The room, which had just been fully redecorated, was small and cold. Unfortunately, it was not as clean as expected, with dead flies in the window and dust and cobwebs around.

The hotel is located right at the top of the lovely little set-up in Ambleside, offering a nice place to settle down for the evening. The rooms were clean but fell short in all other aspects, probably due to the previous guests' antics next door. The service was satisfactory, and the location in the center of Ambleside provides an ideal base to explore the charming town on foot. The dining experience, although inclusive in the price, started a bit late at 8 am but offered good value. The hotel has undergone a refurbishment, significantly enhancing its appearance since the last visit.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I appreciated the ample tea and coffee supplies, but there were some maintenance issues with my original room. The staff was friendly and welcoming, though there were some inconsistencies with room readiness. The central location of the hotel was convenient for exploring Ambleside, and the shuttle service to the lake was a nice touch. The dining options were decent, with a good selection at the bar, although service was a bit slow. The facilities were sufficient, given the hotel's age and location.

The hotel rooms were very basic and not relaxing at all, with cleanliness issues and poor decor. However, the staff were friendly and the location was convenient with many dining options nearby. The dining experience was satisfactory but could be improved with more variety. Overall, the value for money was reasonable.

The hotel is a mixed bag - the rooms needed some serious attention, especially from smokers, but the stunning, warm, clean accommodations with all the necessities were faultless. We enjoyed great, clean rooms but noticed inconsistent upkeep. Service was pleasant, and the option of a welcome drink was a nice touch. The location ticked all the boxes for being right in the heart of Ambleside, making exploration easy. Dining was a hit and miss with very nice breakfast offerings but some rooms not living up to the overall excellence. The facilities were adequate, ensuring a comfortable stay overall.
