We stayed here for five nights. The hotel is very comfortable and has the facilities of a large establishment, but with the friendly and helpful staff more usually found in a small one. The breakfasts are amazing - everything you could possibly think of seemed to be on offer (whisky to take with the porridge was a particularly nice touch).... More

I was really looking forward to our stay at the Salutation mostly because of the raving Trip Advisor reviews about the club rooms. When we paid more for the club room I figured it'd be worth it, but when we arrived all the way from Norwich we were pretty disappointed. The ground floor room gave us a dull view of... More

First visit to Ambleside and I will definitely return. The hotel staff were very friendly and happy to share their local knowledge. I felt comfortable as a single traveller in the hotel and staff made me feel at home. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. It was unusual to have clear glass in the bathroom,... More

We spent most early evenings relaxing here. Breakfast was included in the price which was fantastic. A large selection of cooked food as well... More

My steak was badly overcooked but very cheerfully exchaged for one perfectly cooked. Otherwise the food was excellent and the breakfast was perfectly cooked. The cold breakfast buffet had a very wide variety of cold... More

Fabulous hotel, in the very centre of Ambleside close to pubs shopping and various restaurants. The spa was great especially the hot tub. The Blue Fish Spa had all the available treatments at an extra cost (discounted when staying at the hotel) and the massages where well worth the money. Breakfast, could not fault it and service outstanding. Would definitely... More

Your day here gets off to a great start with a very good cooked breakfast (there is a cold breakfast and cerial buffet for... More
