Great property, ideally located with clean and comfortable rooms. Staff were helpful and friendly, there’s a nice continental breakfast included and there’s on site parking which is a rarity in most properties in Ambleside ##### Gareth Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Rahul 25 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Good hotel with good views and clean rooms. Rooms we stayed were compact with Mountain views. A great location in Ambleside. Bus stops with Public Buses towards Windermere are next door. The hotel didn't have lifts but the climb on the stairs didn't seem steep.but older people might struggle a bit. There's a £12 parking charge per day. Breakfast was included but very limited options and a limited window for an hour ##### Rahul Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alistair 19 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A great place to stay in Ambleside Brathay Lodge makes for a very comfortable and convenient stay in the Lake District. The room was modern and well-maintained and the staff friendly and considerate. There is a parking fee (unless booked direct) but you’d have to pay elsewhere anyway. If you have an electric car it’s a good idea to let them know in advance so you can use their reasonably-priced ProjectEV charger. The continental breakfast was fresh and varied and set us up for the day. Would definitely stay there again. ##### Alistair Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Rex 13 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness The staff were friendly and very helpful. We stayed for 4 nights and the room was never cleaned in that time. I question the parking policy whereby guests booking directly with the hotel they receive free parking, whereas booking via an agency I am required to pay £12/day extra for parking. Please see this from a guests perspective rather than your own profitability. All guests should be treated equally regardless of which channel they used to find and book the accomodation. ##### Rex Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harshada 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We absolutely loved our weekend two night stay at the Barthay lodg ##### Harshada Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 21 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I thought the parking was expensive considering we stayed next door at Rothay Garth for free and breakfast was included ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Norma 14 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean, cute, great service from friendly staff, great breakfast selection in a pleasant atmosphere. ##### Norma Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### gareth 25 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Brathey Lodge is a lovely hotel, has friendly staff and well located in Ambleside.
