The staff were warm and friendly, prompt and professional whilst serving. Highly recommended to visitors. I woul recommend however that the aged or disabled go for Accomodation at the lakeside hotel as there is a 100 yard climb to the lake houses from the restaurant. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Delia 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Overnight We arrived early and waited until 3.00pm Staff friendly room was spacious and clean. Pillows were terrible and the room above ours they were moving furniture and walking about until 4.00 am Did tell two members of staff one apologised and the other said she wondered what was going on up there! Thought we had dinner , bed and breakfast for £279.00 but was told only bed and breakfast. All staff were friendly but very rushed. ##### Delia Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jody 23 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Little Find What a nice place! Note that this hotel is not directly on the water but just up the hill from the lake. The property was beautiful, the staff very friendly, the rooms clean and comfortable and the food excellent. Note that the check in is in the restaurant at the bottom of the hill and across the street. I would definitely stay at this property if in the area again. ![View from the hotel parking lot at the top of the hill.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2A2E7CE387B42FA64D4DA3E9CBE02FB5CFF3835E1703343980090.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the hotel restaurant at the bottom of the hill.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A381F4B2B477BA5AD9F1E448750133B82ECB4D371703343993706.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jody Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyndsey 21 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely rooms and welcoming staff The inn is ideally positioned between Ambleside and Windermere with views of the lake from the restaurant. We had a room without a view but it was quiet and very clean. The room had tea and coffee facilities as well as heating you could adjust yourself if needed. The beds were very comfortable and bathroom spotless. My only issue was the smoke alarm on the ceiling flashed throughout the night meaning the room lit up blue which was very annoying but I’m unsure how you could stop this. The breakfast was fantastic with a wide variety of choices and served until 10am. Staff are what makes the inn so welcoming as all spoke to us which was lovely. I would recommend the inn to anyone wanting a very comfortable and welcoming place to stay at a great price ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4C89BCDA93E46726BFE0B83ACA7630E60F8E407E1745221820656.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/310AD341B8510B9B48651D0716FC557DB21005391745221822360.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lyndsey Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Friendly staff, lovely decor, tasty breakfast. However flies in bathroom (dead and alive) and a few cobwebs and dust in room.

Very clean and tidy. Delicious breakfast and friendly staff. The only gripe was that I used the 'contact the hotel' on Hotels.com app asking whether we could park the car in the morning before 3pm check in. No reply received. I sent a second message. No reply. I filled in an on line check in, including car registration number but still had to do the same form again at the hotel ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B8E021B6F92F51032339C8B4DAF7E12CD090A8D71743963749342.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61023D168F49FC30B1B7EA56A313F842EC4601081743963748533.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BFAF3A9DA22913D69E691CE515E4C9B03061E7CB1743963747667.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EA811C85FF28CFACDBDF3A823084981206D0AE0E1743963748860.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### John Duncan Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Uday 27 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Great location but the service needs an overhaul Great location, just overlooking the lake . The hotel is good but without any outstanding or unusual characteristics. Food is average . Service levels are mediocre and often more lip service than any attempt to help . The breakfast was substantial. Is it worth a stay? Yes , primarily for the location ##### Uday Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > > [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > > [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wordsworth Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-The-Wordsworth-Hotel.h1507780.Hotel-Information) > > [The Britannia Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-The-Britannia-Inn.h4102858.Hotel-Information) > > [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > > [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > > [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) > > [The New French Partridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northampton-Hotels-The-New-French-Partridge.h2288818.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hive at Poppi Red](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-The-Hive-At-Poppi-Red.h87798178.Hotel-Information) > > [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > > [The Daffodil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-The-Daffodil-Hotel.h24108.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Priest End, Chapel Stile](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-Priest-End.h93417902.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury country house for up to 18 in the heart of Beatrix Potter's Lake District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-Luxury-Country-House-For-Up-To-18-In-The-Heart-Of-Beatrix-Potters-Lake-District.h36806544.Hotel-Information) > > [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > > [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) ---
