Hotels in Ambleside Town Centre, Ambleside

"Our first visit to the property for a number of years. We use to stay here quite frequently under the Laura Ashley umbrella. We were very lucky to be upgraded prior to our visit, I received a call a couple of days before our visit. However, we were told about the ground works to the garden over looking Lake Windermere. The check isn’t wasn’t the best, computer screen in the way of the receptionist, management tell staffing to stop cleaning the hotel lobby. The bar has been rebranded, we decided to opt to visit a local bar/pub instead of having a drink in the hotel. The room was very warm, but had a comfy bed and a large Tv. It was disappointing to see the ground works from our lake view room. I’m a little surprised this wasn’t mentioned on the call prior to our visit or on check in. There was a selection of hot breakfast options, pastries, cereal with a pre made coffee urn or a coffee machine. Which felt a little back of house. We use to quite enjoy the breakfast menu offered to order from our previous stays. All in all, I was a bit taken away from what is such a special hotel for myself and wife. Hopefully the new management company will keep pushing the property forward but it’s definitely lost some of its charm from the Laura Ashley Belsfield we know and loved."

"Would definitely recommend, and aim to stay again next year. Lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings - far enough away from the busy Lake District hotspots to make it a peaceful stay, yet close enough to everywhere you might want to visit! Beautiful garden and pond, with friendly ducks. Clean throughout with spacious room and bathroom, and a comfortable bed. Great breakfasts with lots of choice. Only little niggle - it would be an added bonus to be able to have a cappuccino or latte choice at breakfast :)"

"We have stated here several times and once again everything was really good. Lovely hotel !"

"Breakfast was really good, beautiful hotel and spa. Only downside was that the bed was really uncomfortable!"

"A lovely traditional style home in a fantastic location. Comfortable bed, excellent breakfast and a nice spa. A very good breakfast included. Free parking Location and view are fantastic, with a couple of mins walk to the Windermere cruises dock, with easy access to Bowness and Ambleside. There are several nice walks in the local area. The rooms are a little dated/traditional in style, and the bathrooms could use a little refurbishment but the room was very comfy and well ventilated. No issues with that as long as you aren’t expecting a brand new modern style of room decor. Fantastic view of the lake which was a joy to wake up to. Service in the restaurants was very good and the staff were helpful. Overall a very good stay and I would happily stay there again."
