Recent reviews of Ambleside hotels

    Brathay Lodge
    Superb little hotel.…
    5 / 5
    The Brathay Lodge is conveniently situated a couple of minutes walk from the main shops and restaurants of Ambleside. The room was clean and the decor fresh and relaxing. Good view of the fells from our window. TV and internet very good. Teas, coffee and hot chocolate sachets supplied daily in room. Special mention about the delicious buffet breakfast. I love fruit for breakfast and there were so many dishes of fruit to choose from. I ended up having a little from every one. There were cold meats and cheese, croissants, waffles, breads, yoghurts, fruit juices and, of course, a variety of coffees and teas. Plenty to fill up on and to keep us going for our long walks over the fells. A very enjoyable experience and the superb weather played its part too. The jacuzzi bath was ideal for relaxing tired muscles afterwards. We thoroughly recommend this hotel. Superb!…
