Ambleside

"It was a great location. We did find the car park a little bit tight and tricky to get into (as the road was fairly busy when we arrived). The cottage was great and had all we were after and the downstairs bathroom was great for my elderly Mum. The two single beds mattresses were a bit past their best so the only thing I’d suggest to improve the property would be an update of those. Otherwise it was a great place to stay right on the river."

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"We were greeted by Victor, very friendly and welcoming, who showed us to our room, a small double but very clean and perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. We had a lovely view of Todd Crag which we were climbing the next day. Breakfast was amazing, a good selection of cereal, yoghurt, fruit and even cakes! My husband had the full English and I chose the smashed avocado on toast with poached egg. We were served by friendly and efficient Joanna who took the trouble to remember our names! The hotel is situated a few minutes walk from the centre of the village and has it's own good sized car park"

Cragwood Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a two-night midweek stay for an anniversary with my girlfriend. I also used the gazebo proposal plan which I had organised via email and phone call with manager Stacey. She was brilliant and the staff there on reception that I spoke to where also very helpful. The set up was perfect and just as I imagined, the lights and walkway lit up as the sun was going down. The place itself was beautiful, the grounds and views stunning, the room and lounges so warm and cosey. This place will always be special to us and we will definitely be back in future. Thank you"
