The dining experience is charming, served by delightful waitresses, with fresh seasonal fruits. The facilities are well-maintained, but there may be limited amenities available. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and a great location for a fair price.

The hotel is perfectly located in the center of Ambleside, offering easy access to the village center and some of the best pubs around. The rooms are cozy with some lovely artistic touches, but the price could be more budget-friendly. The service is top-notch with a warm welcome drink, yet housekeeping could be more attentive. Dining is a delightful experience with a charming waitress serving tasty Korean dishes.
