The bedroom was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. However the room was not serviced after our first night ,nor, coffee or tea replenished. The lounge and dining room were chaotic with too much furniture and furnishings and cats which would be a problem for anyone with allergies. The breakfast was excellent with lovely fruit salad accompanying the cereals. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SACHIKO 20 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### SACHIKO Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Faith 25 Mar 2023 ##### Faith Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 18 Jul 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-YHA-Grasmere-Butharlyp-Howe-Hostel.h11886536.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-New-Dungeon-Ghyll-Hotel.h478120.Hotel-Information) > > [Traveller's Rest Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-Travellers-Rest-Inn.h19792972.Hotel-Information) > > [Victorian House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-Victorian-House-Hotel.h22784407.Hotel-Information) > > [The Daffodil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-The-Daffodil-Hotel.h24108.Hotel-Information) > > [Moss Grove Organic](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-Moss-Grove-Organic.h11899451.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakehouse at The Waterhead Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-Ambleside-Lake-House.h13221.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waterhead Inn - The Inn Collection group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-The-Waterhead-Inn.h11108964.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Langdale - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-YHA-Langdale-Hostel.h11886552.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wordsworth Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-The-Wordsworth-Hotel.h1507780.Hotel-Information) > > [Wateredge Inn- The Inn Collection group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-Wateredge-Inn.h21197956.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Ambleside - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-YHA-Ambleside-Hostel.h11298272.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-Rothay-Garden-Hotel.h1461224.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan at Grasmere - The Inn Collection group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-The-Swan-At-Grasmere.h861143.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Beck Allans Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-Beck-Allans-Guesthouse.h32535160.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Rooms at The Wateredge Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-Regent-By-The-Lake-Hotel.h1461216.Hotel-Information) > > [The Three Shires Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-The-Three-Shires-Inn.h22815308.Hotel-Information) ---
