"This place is truly great. Even though it's self-check-in, I believe the owner is Chinese, as they were there to help out. Any issues I raised were immediately addressed, which was fantastic. The room was also very spacious, and it was convenient for driving everywhere. So, if I come back, I'd definitely stay here again. It's also very close to the lake, and the location is super convenient for independent travelers. There's even a laundromat just a 6-minute walk away, which is a huge plus."

"I was so surprised to book such a great hotel! My son, who studies in the UK, said this would be considered a luxury hotel there. It has its own private entrance and a very spacious bathroom. The Lake District gets quite cold in the evenings during summer, but the heating worked perfectly. You can see sheep on the hillside right outside, and it's not a far walk to the town. Sitting in the courtyard, you can enjoy the scenery. The owner is really nice and responds very promptly when you need something. The instructions provided via WeChat were very detailed. A truly satisfying stay!"

"The room is very comfortable, the big bathtub can be bathed, the room has fruit, and you can ask the front desk for milk. The breakfast is very rich and the mushrooms inside are especially delicious. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to the bus stops 555, 599 and Ambleside. From the windermere train station, you can easily reach by bus. The hotel is a bit far from the town centre of Windermere, but it can also be reached on foot. The hotel is a sister hotel with the low wood bay. Guests with waterhead can go to the low wood bay for sports facilities, see the hotel's instructions. It is worth mentioning that we originally stayed for three nights, but only booked for two nights of accommodation, for the convenience of the luggage at the front desk for one night, the next morning to come."

It is large in size, warmly decorated, and has a nice balcony. The location is good, the door is the green area by the lake, and it is also very close to the town center. There is a British fan especially during the morning meal. Definitely recommended!"

Despite the circumstances we had a a great overnight stay, with a very comfortable room and a lovely breakfast the next morning. Joanna our host was very friendly and attentive making sure we had everything we needed and provided us with tips on the local places to eat out for dinner. We hope to return to Ambleside in 2026 under better circumstances and would have no hesitation in staying here again."

The family hotel opened by the couple, the room was very clean and warm. The two are very talkative. If you have good English, you can chat with the couple. The couple prepared a breakfast card, you can draw on the breakfast card ✓ choose the food for breakfast the next day, the food is very rich, the taste is also very good, indicate what time to eat breakfast, and then you can enjoy it.

The bathtub was not clean. I had a good scrubbing. The breakfast was good and the dinner was delicious. Both dinners were eaten at the hotel. The only thing is not good. You must rent a car. The car is over 30 pounds. Moreover, when we encountered bank holiday, there was no train driver when we returned. We even cancelled the train. We were very busy and made a bus. NationalExpress rushed to oxenholme and took a taxi to the train station in London. tired!

Traditional small English hotel, downstairs is the bar. English breakfast is provided. The house is a wooden structure ➕ later remodeled. The whole hotel is full of paintings and photography about the lake area. The reception is friendly. But note that it is a 20-minute walk from Ambleside.
