A perfect hotel to stay while visiting the Lake district. Location of the hotel is in the centre of town.

The breakfast and choice was absolutely amazing. The best we have had at a hotel. It was all fresh and constantly topped up. We had not planned to eat evening meals in the hotel, but the food was so good we ate there every night. The room too was fantastic, with plenty of space. Marc the concierge was very knowledgeable about the area and recommended some great walks suitable for us and the buses to get to them. The receptionists were also very welcoming showing us around the hotel and our room on arrival. The location of the hotel is good too, just a few minutes walk from the center and therefore not too noisy. A few days after we left I realised that I had left an expensive item of clothing behind. The hotel kindly arranged to post this home for me. We usually holiday in the Med but with the high temperatures we now get there during summer, decided to try the UK this year. We had such an enjoyable time will definitely be back next summer.

A huge thank you to the lovely lady at the front desk for bringing me water late at night in the rain — I really appreciate it. The slim gentleman and the cheerful big guy in the restaurant were also incredibly friendly. I loved the atmosphere, the dinner was wonderful, and the service was excellent. I’ll definitely recommend this place to my colleagues for their holidays!

Quaint and very English lovely little town with heaps of natural beauty blending nicely with lots of modern bars alongside the more traditional pubs with their log fires to welcome you in…There is also a wide and varied range of restaurants and check out the Cinema…art-deco with big old plush velour seating…and a half time interval to allow for the ice-cream seller to tempt you with a little pot of indulgence…

I visit Windermere on a regular basis to dance the Argentine Tango at the Ladyholme Centre not far from the town itself. While there i have stayed in a variety of accommodation and have always had a good experience. The distance between Windermere and Bowness is only a walk of around 20 minutes. Buses are frequent within the area. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants in and around the town to choose from and it is a safe place for Solo travellers to explore.

Ambleside is a gorgeous quaint little town.

Ambleside is a gorgeous quaint little town. Lots of things to do and shops to visit, extremely dog friendly, we wish we had taken ours with us. The food at the Old Stamp House was amazing, the highlight of our trip. However, we did have a Sunday roast at the Flying Fleece and we couldn't fault that either. Lots of great pubs and sights to see, I would highly recommend a trip to Ambleside.

Fantastic stay as a last minute decision for our family of 5 and the dog. Friendly welcome and freshly cleaned pod on arrival. Spacious enough for us all - even my 6ft4 husband slept well. Pods heated up quickly and held the heat nicely through the night. Toilets and showers were clean and had hooks on the doors for keeping clothes dry etc. We didn’t use the kitchen area but it was clean and spacious. Games room had plenty of seating and a table tennis table but no rackets or ball unfortunately. The campfire area was loved by our children in the evening. Enough parking space and close to lots of local walks and experiences. There were bikes on site that could be hired which would be a great family activity but I’m not sure on the pricing.

Good walks to Wray Castle and Claife Viewing Station overlooking Windermere. Unfortunately Wray Castle was shut for renovation during our visit (Nov 2025)m but the cafe here was open for business and doing a roaring trade. Location is handy for Hill Top (Beatrix Potter) and Hawkshead where there are ample places to eat.

Pretty hamlet with 2 excellent pubs serving great food. Easy walking area from the hamlet and access to more challenging walking not far away. Away from the tourist traps of the Lake District. Would recommend eating at The Hare and Hounds for upmarket gastro pub food. The Masons Arms also serves good pub food. The Punchbowl at Crosthwaite is a 10 min drive away and is a very good restaurant
