Lakes Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"All fine. Food choice in bar could have been better."

The Daffodil Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel with lovely well kept lawns and a stunning view of the lake. Staff are very professional and courteous. Everyone I encountered was friendly, hardworking working and clearly wanted the guests to have a really enjoyable and valued stay at the hotel. The cleanliness of the room was exceptional. Very good housekeeping team. The spa was nice to use after a days cycling and hiking. The hotel also provides guided local walking routes that are nice to do from the hotel. The hotel has easy access to Grasmere village so able to walk from the hotel into the village for a coffee and delicious ice-cream. Ambleside was also very accessible via the local bus route so no need to use the car for exploring the immediate local area. We stayed for four nights so able to totally relax and be rejuvenated. Good breakfast and dinner options available. There is ample space to relax and fully enjoy the beautiful countryside that inspired Wordsworth poetry."

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is lovely currently having a refurbishment can’t wait to see what it looks like. Our stay was still excellent and we were updated about the ongoing work. views from the terrace and room were amazing. All staff were fab but special mention to the 3 lads behind the bar and serving meals friendly polite and overall excellent."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a 5 night stay in June and on arrival we were awarded a room upgrade. The suite 'Woodlands' was excellent and although across the yard, was no problem at all. Breakfasts were excellent with a great choice, including many fruits. Individual cooked items were well presented and tasty. We took 2 evening meals at the hotel and again the choice of meals on the menu and the quality was superb. Staff were very helpful, professional and courteous. The facilities including the lounge, bar, swimming pool, sauna, steam room and indoor and outdoor jacuzzis were all excellent All in all a superb stay and a place thoroughly recommended and one worth coming back to."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Top quality hotel in a brilliant location, absolutely loved it here. We didn’t find a better bar to have a drink in or a better restaurant to eat in, all perfect… with a wonderful view over the lake too! The leisure facilities really helped too, the pool was a proper pool you could actually swim in! My only (very slight) observation might be that it did look a bit tired in places, with a bit of paint peeling off here and there."
