We were absolutely stunned to find out that the room service put our hairy coo plush toy to bed when we were away, tucked in nice and cozy, as if it was asleep! :-) This was possibly the nicest and cutest experience with any hotel we've had so far!! Thank you! <3

A wonderful pub and hotel with the most attentive staff. Everything is done with attention to detail and they’ve managed to combine old charm with modern comfort. The location is great for both walking the hills but also walking into Ambleside when you don’t want something too exhausting. We were planning on going somewhere else for dinner but ended up eating at the hotel every night - because there’s really nothing that makes you want to leave!

Everything about this hotel is spectacular. From its stunning location at the edge of Lake Windermere, to its gorgeously decorated rooms, terraces, bathrooms, hallways, etc., to its friendly professional staff, its excellent hot and/or cold buffet breakfast, there was nothing left to chance. Our Lakehouse room was a short walk away from the main house, with a massive terrace overlooking the beautiful gardens and with an uninterrupted view of Lake Windermere. So peaceful. So gorgeous. All of it.

It’s a beautiful property in a gorgeous location. Surrounded by green hills and good walking trails! The complimentary continental breakfast was perfect, dinner in the downstairs pub was delicious and it was cosy with the fireplaces lit, had live music, a good selection of food and drinks. The room was super comfortable, warm, plenty of blankets, a lovely view and spacious enough for the two of us. Bed and pillows were comfy, shower was hot, and the room had a kettle for tea and coffee. Was honestly brilliant. Staff were very friendly and helpful too. And so many cats and dogs and ducks!! Loved it.

The view is incredible! We were in the dog friendly room and the view of the hill was spectacular. It's surrounded by sheep and you can easily walk down to the lake. We enjoyed wine with our feet in the water and then a drink at their bar in the lounge. Free easy parking, comfy bed and a good shower!

Quaint and very English lovely little town with heaps of natural beauty blending nicely with lots of modern bars alongside the more traditional pubs with their log fires to welcome you in…There is also a wide and varied range of restaurants and check out the Cinema…art-deco with big old plush velour seating…and a half time interval to allow for the ice-cream seller to tempt you with a little pot of indulgence…

I visit Windermere on a regular basis to dance the Argentine Tango at the Ladyholme Centre not far from the town itself. While there i have stayed in a variety of accommodation and have always had a good experience. The distance between Windermere and Bowness is only a walk of around 20 minutes. Buses are frequent within the area. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants in and around the town to choose from and it is a safe place for Solo travellers to explore.

Ambleside is a gorgeous quaint little town. Lots of things to do and shops to visit, extremely dog friendly, we wish we had taken ours with us. The food at the Old Stamp House was amazing, the highlight of our trip. However, we did have a Sunday roast at the Flying Fleece and we couldn't fault that either. Lots of great pubs and sights to see, I would highly recommend a trip to Ambleside.

Fantastic stay as a last minute decision for our family of 5 and the dog. Friendly welcome and freshly cleaned pod on arrival. Spacious enough for us all - even my 6ft4 husband slept well. Pods heated up quickly and held the heat nicely through the night. Toilets and showers were clean and had hooks on the doors for keeping clothes dry etc. We didn’t use the kitchen area but it was clean and spacious. Games room had plenty of seating and a table tennis table but no rackets or ball unfortunately. The campfire area was loved by our children in the evening. Enough parking space and close to lots of local walks and experiences. There were bikes on site that could be hired which would be a great family activity but I’m not sure on the pricing.

Pretty hamlet with 2 excellent pubs serving great food. Easy walking area from the hamlet and access to more challenging walking not far away. Away from the tourist traps of the Lake District. Would recommend eating at The Hare and Hounds for upmarket gastro pub food. The Masons Arms also serves good pub food. The Punchbowl at Crosthwaite is a 10 min drive away and is a very good restaurant
