"Loved it, will probably go again"

8.0

Amazing location. Literally the best point you can ever go to for Ambleside. Everything is on the doorstep and the road to the lake is serviced by a bus from the station that takes you directly there from the station. Welcoming staff, restaurant was amazing and the room really felt like it was ours while we were there. Definitely felt looked after and a nice refuge after a few solid walks.

Going through booking.com doesnt confer the same level of service as booking directly. We booked for a twin and got a double. Booking.com sent instructions for twin OR double. Property made the decision off that. They showed me the screenshots. They still sorted us a double room, on May Bank Holiday!!!
