Upon walking in to what seemed like an unoccupied building, It was very dark and the unmanned desk was a telephone with a note asking to ring for assistance. After a couple of attempts the phone was answered by someone who initialy seemed confused as to why we were calling.
Eventully we were greeted and offered a 4 poster room with jaccuzi bath £80 ... a bargin ! appart from the very creaky bed the room was fantastic. Breakfast was good,
Would reccomend this place.

Visited in June. Nice friendly owners good value for money wouild visit again

My boyfriend decided to treat me to a surprise weekend away at the Ambleside Lodge. We had a great time within a lovely setting, ideally located for a stroll around town or the surrounding fells.
The staff were very friendly and the room was clean and spacious and good value for money.
Were are already thinking of going back soon to another relaxing break away.

Pulling into the drive way, gives you nothing but high expectations, however once you walk though the door and are met only by a counter sporting a bell (which may or may not work) and a scrap of paper with a phone number wrote on, makes you wonder. But before all is lost the friendly owner appears and happily shows you to your room before sorting out all the necessary formalities (paying, breakfast timings). Once my fiancée and I where settled in and the weather turned a shade cooler, it was obvious that the heating wasn't adequate for the room and we spent most of the night freezing. The following morning was just as eventful as the cold water tap on our jacuzzi/shower bath would happily turn on but not off (without some force), compile this with the fact that when other guests used either hot or cold water it changed the temprature of our shower, causing my fiancée to scold herself. Finally once down in the basement for breakfast, it was apparent that instead of local produce, the owners prefer local supermarket mass produce for their ingredients.
