We booked a weekend in mid Oct , we couldn't make reception opening times (after 5.30) but getting room keys was easy and managed to get a parking spot outside and the hotel is in a great location.we were in room 7 which is a loft conversion on the 3rd floor, headroom isn't great I wouldn't recommend it if you're tall. The room was warm even with heating off and with no windows that will open is stuffy at best.On the second night I actually went to sleep in the car as it was to warm for me to sleep in the room.I wouldn't rule out staying here again but would check which room we had been allocated before booking.

Very highly recommended. Overall, an excellent B&B set-up in the centre of Ambleside with a café and its own bakery. It has a slightly quirky off-beat feel but it is high quality. All the staff were terrific. …

Stayed in room 2, it was clean and comfortable. Everyone of the staff were so helpful. Situated within a stride away from great places to eat, breakfast at the apple pie next door, The Tap yard and the Flying fleece on the other side, all serve great food. So close to all the shops. We had a lovely stay, would definitely stay again for another break in Ambleside.

Disappointed as we parked our car in reserved space and someone hit it and damaged it. Staff advised they could not review footage as this would need to be done in real time and they didn’t have anyone to do it. What is the point of the camera? Unhelpful approach.
