Dog friendly stay

Nice location room was ok but very warm. The did provide a fan in the room which was nice but noisy. The sick drain off was very slow so must have been blocked but as we were there for only one night didn’t bother us too much. The shower was good with good pressure and temperature settings. There really should be a small fridge in a room that gets this warm especially when small milk capsules are left on the side by the window. The evening meal was ok although the tables could have done with a better clean as were a little sticky. The staff were lovely and it were great with ours and all customers dogs.

Everything you need for a nights stay

Nice room to base ourselves from for the night before the Fred Whitton. Basic room with everything you need, only complaint would be that the room we had was facing the street and the Saturday nightlife was pretty loud till late walking past the front of our room that kept waking us up, appreciate this is outside of the hotels control though so not their fault but this is just a work of warning if you are after an early. Ight for an early start.

Lovely hotel, although sometimes waiting time to be served was a little frustrating - standing at the bar at breakfast with nobody else there and one member of staff at the other end of the bar on their phone isn’t a good look.

Stayed for 3 nights with our dog. Food at the pub was nice and we were able to book a table for each night we stayed at the pub for the food. Room was a decent size for what we needed as most the time was spent outside. The room has a bowl for water for the dog, and a towel for them. Tray for boots next to door to put them to stop mud in the room as well. Room cleaned each day and service was great.

I liked the location, which was excellent, right in the centre of Ambleside. There are plenty of shops, especially hillwalking type shops nearby. It is possible to walk to the lake, but for me it was a long walk. There are plenty of buses to go to the lake, to Windermere, or Bowness-on -Windermere. The hotel has a dog-friendly bar, serving nice meals, with nice friendly staff.

As much as this was excellent … we did have a panic when we arrived and our room had been allocated to another family! The first member of staff was bewildered and even when showing our confirmation could not find us and seems not to believe us then the colleague found the problem and resolved it.
