- Avg. price/night: US$119.40Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.2Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,613 reviewsGreat location. Family room (with the bath) was brilliant and perfect for families up to 4 people (and babies/toddlers). Everywhere was spotless and all amenities were modern and ‘fresh’.Guest review bySarahFamily with young children
- Avg. price/night: US$131.61Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,707 reviewsRoom was spacious and clean with a little private sitout. Staff was very helpful and pleasant, the laundry facility for a small number of clothes was a lifesaver, breakfast was fresh, tasty but adding a few child-friendly options like pancakes would have made it fab. The location was superb, you could walk to everything in town leaving the car behind in their car park. A highlight was the jacuzzi bath tub, great after a fell walk.Guest review bySudhaFamily with young children
- Avg. price/night: US$143.55Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Superb - What previous guests thought, 855 reviewsFamily room was lovely - very spacious and warm - liked that the kids were in a separate corner behind a curtain The door that led to the carpark was very handy for getting stuff to the room without hassle Beds are comfortable and we liked the seating area Smart TVs were great for a cosy night in - as were the abundant cushions on the beds! Staff are super friendly Breakfast buffet was plentiful and varied Powerful shower with plenty of hot water Brilliant location within steps of the shops and pubs of AmblesideGuest review byJenniferFamily with young children
- Avg. price/night: US$131.61Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.3Very good - What previous guests thought, 837 reviewsThe hotel was a great location, right in the centre of town and less than a mile from the pier. There is a shuttle bus that stops right outside the hotel if you don’t/can’t walk. The family room was a perfect size. I liked that there was a sofa bed rather than bunks for the children. Lovely and clean and room was made up each day (rare since Covid in most hotels!). What stands out here though are the staff - they were all so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I couldn’t speak more highly of them.Guest review byAshleighFamily with young children
