The door was not locked with a password, but with a key. I spent a long time looking for the key.

The hotel is right on the road, easy to find, and parking is convenient, the parking fee is 12 pounds. The room facilities are old and the soundproofing is not good. There is a driveway outside the window, a walkway at the door, and all kinds of noise coming from the ceiling and upstairs. Stay for one night and continue on the road the next day. In addition, children are charged an additional 25 pounds per person. The reservation indicates that children cannot be brought in because no extra beds can be added. Oh, there is a big hole in the bed sheet.

The house in the lake area has a great view. The landlord is very considerate. The room is warm and lovingly decorated. The details are well handled. It is especially clean and hygienic. The heating is turned on at night. Like 👍👍

Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Check in and out so easy. Buffet breakfast was ideal for us so we could easily eat as much or as little as we liked according to how we were about to spend our day …ie starting a hike after a lighter meal rather than the usual full English. Loved our room….best room in Ambleside that we’ve experienced so far and we’ve visited many times. Views from our room are amazing and interesting as they look out at the park with various activities taking place. Location was great too…close to restaurants, shops and start of various hiking trails. Car park on site and with plenty of room. We’ll be back …! Thank you Brathay Lodge.
Response from Property: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us at Brathay Lodge. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time in Ambleside and that our team made you feel welcome from the moment you arrived.

We've been coming to Brathay Lodge for a number of years when visiting the Lakes. Always a warm welcome here. Accommodation is lovely, huge comfy bed and refurbished bathrooms are great. Best shower ever! Plentiful breakfast of cereals, fresh fruit, bread and pastries, cold meats and cheese. Super location overlooking the putting green and the beautiful church. Wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Enjoyed a very comfortable one nights stay. The room was spotless, beautiful bathroom with fabulous showers facilities. Comfortable bed and excellent welcome tray the good sized mugs. The continental breakfast was superb, so much choice. Car parking included was a bonus and so close to the town centre. Staff very welcoming great service why would you go anywhere else? Definitely stay again it was all fabulous.

We have stayed here many times over the years and always love it, as it's clean, the rooms are well furnished, the staff and management always helpful, the cold buffet breakfast of many choices suits us down to the ground, as we prefer it to fried food before walking up the fells, and guaranteed parking in the centre of Ambleside is always a bonus, so what's no to like?, we have gone for a superior room the last few times as they have a bath as well as a shower, with a super king bed, big TV. and plenty of space, it's well worth paying the extra IMHO
Response from Property: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for being such a loyal guest over the years. It’s truly a pleasure to welcome you back each time and to know that you continue to enjoy your stays with us. We’re delighted that you appreciate the cleanliness, our helpful team, and the convenience of our location and parking. It’s also lovely to hear that the superior deluxe double rooms and breakfast selection suit your needs so well—your kind comments mean a lot to everyone here. We look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to Ambleside!

The location is perfect in Ambleside with the car park just beside it. It is a short walk to bars and restaurants and perfect for starting walks into the countryside. Lovely clean bathroom. Breakfast continental and plenty of choice.

We've not stayed for a couple of years but were welcomed back as old friends. Brathay Lodge suits us as it's always clean and comfortable. New bathrooms and new carpets add to the experience. We will be back.
