We stayed here for one night. We paid the extra for a superior room and can highly recommend this as the hideaway room we had was lovely. The hotel is ideally located on water head bay about 1 min from the lake and a 10 min walk onto Ambleside. The room we had was spacious and clean with a really... More

This was perfect, we stayed in room 20, a superior double in the hideaway rooms, up some slate stairs at the rear of the main building. This is lovely room, new, modern furniture, clean and well fitted bathroom, a very quiet retreat. The... More

Booked in for two nights in late May. The hotel is beautifully situated outside Ambleside itself, just across the road from the lake. The drive up to Lake House is fairly steep and narrow, and if approaching from the Ambleside direction (or intending to head out from Lake House in that direction), it is a tight turn - those of...

Exceeded expectations. We stayed in a superior double in the hideaway building. Room was immaculate, well appointed, large, airy and comfortable. Very very quiet and private. Large tv and DVD with plenty of up to date films to choose from if you wished. Service was efficient and friendly. Breakfast was divine. Location was great. Almost on the lake and a... More

It was very light and architectually interesting.and large/ The views were of the flower covered hillside. 20 was nice because it was at the far end of the building on the backside so... More

We visited here in March 2013 (a winter's weekend break!). The Lake House is located just outside of the main town centre of Ambleside and across the road from the north shore of lake Windermere. This accommodation has adequate parking on site which is handy as the driveway up from the main road is steep and not easily walkable. There... More

It was a pleasure to stay in this large, light, elegant house overlooking the bay. With big windows, beautiful furnishings and tasteful, immaculate decor, you wonder why it's not more expensive. The grounds have a pretty garden out front with mature trees and a stream trickling through. I stayed in room one which is quite spacious with a massive comfy... More
