The Ambleside Inn - The Inn Collection Group
Very average. Overall a nice pub area. Checkin was rushed. No parking nearby and confusing as to which car parks allowed overnight parking. Carpets were filthy and didn't look like they had been hoovered in a week. Breakfast was fine.

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa
Reception staff are lovely and very friendly Hotel has recently been upgraded and some work is still ongoing, some more work in the garden by the lake is required. There is a lovely pool, sauna, jacuzzi and steam room which we luckily had complementary access to due to the ongoing works. Be aware ...
