One night stay.

Hotel very clean and comfortable, great room and bed, nice bar/lounge area. However one reason i booked this hotel was of the spa facilities, which were disappointing, the sauna and steam room were poor temperature wise, and the indoor pool was quite cool. Cooked breakfast could have been better.

We absolutely loved our stay at Ambleside. We were given a spa room upgrade after the first room we had. The staff are outstanding here from Ash at reception to Manuel in the dining room and Hannah in the spa. The many lounge areas are lovely and very tastefully decorated. This will be our go to hotel when we return to Ambleside! Thank you for an incredible 3 night stay!

Accusation within 3 buildings. Secure and quiet but close to shops and restaurants. Some nice walks without needing the car. Rooms comfortable. Excellent breakfast service. Spa facilities: pool, sauna, steam room, indoor and outdoor hot tub Treatments were all booked up so unable to comment. But it’s Clarins so will be good.

Love this hotel, staff are so friendly and accommodating and the spa is amazing. The only one small thing I would change is the room decor like wallpaper, curtains, etc. I think the hotel would feel ever so slightly fresher with an upgrade in that area!
