Check-in was quick and easy - the lady who checked us in was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Our room was lovely, with a large and comfortable bed, plenty of cushions, and a peaceful, warm atmosphere. There were also tea-making facilities and a fridge, which was a nice touch. We didn’t get a chance to try the spa or gym facilities this time, but breakfast was excellent - a great variety on offer, quick service, and perfectly cooked scrambled eggs! The hotel’s central location was ideal for exploring Ambleside, with everything just a short walk away.

Best breakfast I ever had in a hotel. Spa lovely (just needs a bar). The standard rooms are small and very warm, I’d upgrade to a bigger one next time.

Lovely breakfast, both cooked and buffet. Service was polite and efficient without feeling rushed. Plenty of room in the dining room and lounges. Our bedrooms were spacious and clean with many sockets, a hot tub and whirlpool bath, full set of Wainwright’s guides, and the fridge was kept stocked with fresh milk (not the usual UHT rubbish), water, tea, coffee and even biscuits. The WiFi was excellent, probably the best hotel WiFi I’ve ever used. I was surprised that such a nice bathroom didn’t have a soft close lid on the wc. We didn’t have dinner in the hotel because the menu options didn’t appeal, especially with young grandchildren visiting us. The main car park can get a bit tight, but they’ve got a couple round the corner which have more room. Most places in the Lake District are easily reachable from Ambleside. The hotel is better inside than it looks on the outside, if a little quirky - we’d definitely choose it again.

Fabulous hotel

Fabulous hotel in the middle of Ambleside. Staff were all amazing ... fantastic customer service from everyone we encountered. Room was comfortable, beautifully decorated, and very clean and quiet. Plenty of free parking available on site. Public areas were expansive, relaxing and once again very well presented. We really enjoyed our stay and are already planning a return trip for a longer period. We would absolutely recommend this hotel to all.

My husband and I recently stayed at the Ambleside Salutation Hotel in the Lake District, and I genuinely cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect – the kind of stay that leaves you wanting to come back even before you've checked out! The Location: Absolutely unbeatable. Nestled right in the heart of Ambleside, the hotel is surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Our room overlooked a gorgeous waterfall, and waking up to the soothing sound of flowing water and a view of the hills was pure magic. It felt like a peaceful, luxurious escape wrapped in nature. The Room: Wow – our room was massive! Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and designed for real comfort. It had everything we needed and more. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the little touches made a big difference. Honestly one of the best hotel rooms we’ve stayed in. The Staff: Every single member of staff we encountered was warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. From check-in to check-out, we were made to feel at home and very well looked after. It’s clear they truly care about their guests. The Breakfast: Delicious! A fantastic spread with something for everyone – fresh, hot, and generous. Whether you're into a full English or lighter options, you’ll find plenty to love. The quality and attention to detail were excellent. Exceptional Service – Going the Extra Mile: Here’s what really blew us away: I accidentally left behind a bag of clothes after checkin
