The hotel was good. We were in an annex, which you would have selected when booking (which we didn’t). We’d have preferred to be in the main building, for convenience and ambience, however, the room was good and clean. The staff were great and the bar area was really nice, plus it’s very central. Overall, we’d stay again.

An okay stay, rooms fine and warm. Stayed two nights and not made up after first night. The most annoying thing about this place was ordering a Pepsi Max in the bar and being charged £4.50 for it. Don't rip off your customers.

There were cobwebs on the ceiling around the light, the bed and pillows were really hard (enough to make my neck and jaw hurt by morning). The night they had a Trivia night, we had to sit up until 11pm, when it finished. Very loud. Maybe we should have expected a pub to be noisy! Never again!

Check in was easy and speedy. We were informed that there would be live music in the evening but were not informed as to how audible it would be in our room… it finished at 11.27 and we could hear every single line sang which did not mean a relaxing evening for us. The TV signal was really poor so we suggest connecting to the WiFi and streaming. The staff were lovely and helpful but I’m not sure we’d return due to the noise.

Noise
We booked a trip to cross off some Wainwrights, a good nights sleep was essential but not achieved unfortunately due to thin floors meaning you can hear every movement from those above. We complained about the noise and were offered to change rooms but we’d of had to wait about until later in the day and pack everything up so declined, as we were wanting to get off on our day trip. Ambleside is our favourite place - we’ve been many times but won’t stay here again. Breakfast was 10/10.
