3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2012 NEW

3 nights in May 2012. Room 2 had the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on! Heating had no thermostat so either too hot or too cold. Very noisy plumbing kept us awake. Breakfast is buffet so not fresh. Staff excellent though. Location excellent. If they fixed bed and plumbing it would be very good.

This place is a gem in Ambleside, situated well for both town and lake. We have stayed here in excess of 10 times and this was indeed the best. The staff were very attentive to our every need. We were situated in a family room on the ground floor. This was very spacious with a double and "proper" single bed,... More

Lakes Lodge is ideally situated in Ambleside with good access to all the best walks, pubs and restaurants. The breakfast every morning was wonderful. We stayed in one of the rooms on the top floor facing the church - the decor was lovely. Only faults were that the sink wasn't in the bathroom and the bedroom door did not shut... More
