Top Ambleside Hotel Reviews

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel. Arrived early and was able to park up. The weather wasn’t too good so was able to use spa before checking in. Spa was really good and spent 2 hrs chilling whilst it rained outside. Staff throughout the hotel were all very helpful and the breakfast was superb. Will defo stay at the hotel again and I would recommend it to anyone who wants the freedom to use the facilities of the hotel but be in close proximity to bars and restaurants outside."

Ambleside Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property with tasteful decor and a real homely feel. The car park is a real convenience right beside the hotel. Our room was immaculate and with a very large, very comfortable bed. A gorgeous view of the hills from the window really set the scene. The room also had a bath which was a bonus. Breakfast was delightful and with a good variety of options, including avocado sourdough toast. A brief walk into the centre of Ambleside to the bars and restaurants, not far at all. We had a lovely stay here."

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Value for money…. The rooms are not the cheapest, but they are worth the money. From start to finish the say was perfect. The staff were super friendly and went out of their way to welcome you. We wished we had stayed another night and will definitely come back. The food and selection for breakfast was great and they accommodated our miniature poodle throughout our stay with a special welcome basket on arrival. All in all a wonderful getaway, thank you."

New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A lively Lakeland hotel with great prospects and a good feel . Fabulous Langdale views, clean bedrooms and helpful staff. The food was perfect and I would recommend the chicken and mushroom pie, really good. The new owners have more to do in making improvements to decor and this is underway but we loved it and will return."

The Swan at Grasmere - The Inn Collection group

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place. We stayed in room 40 in the annexe for families. It has a big and comfortable main bed and bunk beds for kids. Clean and airy, very large room for family with great size bathroom. Pub food was excellent we had the chicken for dinner with wine all good, and sticky toffee pudding was generous size two could share. Overall a great place and convenient close to grasmere, Ambleside and the zip World. Great stay very pleased."
