Top Rothay Park Hotel Reviews

Compston House B&B - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"This was an ideal place to stay for a few days in Ambleside. The good sized room was spotlessly clean, and nicely decorated. The breakfast was great. It was easy walking into the town centre. Meg and John were great hosts, very friendly. Highly recommended."

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were brilliant - helpful and informative. Breakfast was great - the veggie sausage was the best I've ever had - and the hotel was very clean. Will be staying there again."

Ambleside Central

8/10 Good

"Impossible to rate staff as there are none Shower a little small Place was very clean and I had no problem with noise All in all I would have no qualms about staying there again The code access worked a treat"

Elder Grove

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient for accessing the town centre on foot. Good parking facilities. Flexible and helpful checking in procedures."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful stay yet again at the salutation hotel. The location of the hotel makes it an ideal stay to visit Ambleside. Perfect to park the car when you arrive and no need to use it again for your stay. Having a spa within the hotel is a bonus and the standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel is exceptional. We stayed in a room at the front of the hotel , which yes there is a little street noise , but nothing you wouldn’t expect staying in a town centre , and certainly didn’t keep you awake at night - in fact it was probably one of the highlights of our room - people watching below and the beautiful fells in the distance. Breakfast is a real treat , excellent selection of hot and cold food and drinks , there is everything you could possibly want for breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff - everyone greats you with a smile and are most helpful. Having visited the Lake District from childhood staying at campsites, lodges, cottages and b&b’s , I can honestly say this is my favourite place to stay. Thank you to the team at The Salutation Hotel , hopefully we will return soon."

Brathay Lodge

8/10 Good

"Room 17 with mountain view is very big with pretty church view too. Clean room but TV remote did not work. Check in time is only 4-6PM which is too short and inconvenient."

The Temperance Inn, Ambleside. The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"Charming establishment with very friendly staff."

Ambleside Guest House

8/10 Good

"It's not a bad place to spend a night or two but is pretty dated and expensive for what you get. For some reason, no bath towels were provided and instead you get four hand towels. There was also only decaf coffee. All this would be fine if it was cheap, but it's not."

Ambleside Townhouse

8/10 Good

"From pictures, I thought it was by the lake but it is not. However it is a nice place to stay"
