    warm atmosphere
    friendly staff
    strange wifi

    the staff were incredibly accommodating switching us to a different room without hesitation the atmosphere was warm and inviting with a lovely wood burner for cozier evenings and the location was both scenic and peaceful while being just a short stroll from the village

    wifi check-in process was a bit odd

    excellent breakfast service
    small bathroom

    The dining staff went above and beyond, offering me an extra portion of their delicious breakfast when I asked.

    The bathroom facilities were smaller than expected, making them a challenge for anyone needing more space.

    compact room

    Charming stay near Grasmere

    The tranquil atmosphere and warm welcome made our stay enjoyable. Breakfast was delightful, with hearty options that kept us full until dinner.

    The room was a bit compact, which might not be ideal for those seeking more space to relax.

    The room felt cramped, and the lack of space made it hard to relax—certainly not ideal for anyone over 70. With the bathroom smaller than expected, using it was more of an exercise in gymnastics than a morning routine. The pricing was on the surprising side too, feeling a bit steep for what was essentially a hostel setup, and while breakfast was included, I had hoped for a bit more overall comfort during my stay.

    uncomfortable beds

    Enjoyed lovely views from our twin room during our stay. the wooden slats on the bunk beds felt uncomfortable.

    comfy bed
    delicious breakfast
    relaxing spots
    outdated decor

    Staying here was a delight, especially enjoying the comfy bed and the delicious breakfast that kept me going all day. There were relaxing spots around to unwind and recharge after exploring the beautiful surroundings. The only minor downside was the slightly outdated decor, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience – definitely worth a visit! 😊

    peaceful location
    friendly staff
    outdoor relaxation
    basic breakfast options

    The peaceful location was perfect for unwinding, and I loved sipping a cold beer outdoors while listening to the owls at night. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making it feel like home.

    A few of the breakfast options felt a bit basic and could use more variety to really impress guests.

    comfy bed
    clean room
    small bathroom
    overpriced accommodation

    The room was a bit smaller than expected but very clean. The bed was comfy, and the shower was surprisingly great! Having a kettle for tea and coffee was a nice touch. It felt cozy, though the bathroom might be a challenge for anyone who needs more space. Total value for the price feels off, considering it’s styled like a hostel. Breakfast was definitely the highlight. a pleasant stay!

    delicious breakfast

    It was just a perfect match for short visits in Ambleside with attractive and competitive value for money. The dining staff went above and beyond, offering me an extra portion of their delicious breakfast when I asked. Remember to check out the lovely outdoor seating area for a peaceful evening.
