Great property, ideally located with clean and comfortable rooms. Staff were helpful and friendly, there’s a nice continental breakfast included and there’s on site parking which is a rarity in most properties in Ambleside

8/10 Very good

Good hotel with good views and clean rooms. Rooms we stayed were compact with Mountain views. A great location in Ambleside. Bus stops with Public Buses towards Windermere are next door. The hotel didn't have lifts but the climb on the stairs didn't seem steep.but older people might struggle a bit. There's a £12 parking charge per day. Breakfast was included but very limited options and a limited window for an hour

A great place to stay in Ambleside

Brathay Lodge makes for a very comfortable and convenient stay in the Lake District. The room was modern and well-maintained and the staff friendly and considerate. There is a parking fee (unless booked direct) but you’d have to pay elsewhere anyway. If you have an electric car it’s a good idea to let them know in advance so you can use their reasonably-priced ProjectEV charger. The continental breakfast was fresh and varied and set us up for the day. Would definitely stay there again.

4/10 Fair

The staff were friendly and very helpful. We stayed for 4 nights and the room was never cleaned in that time. I question the parking policy whereby guests booking directly with the hotel they receive free parking, whereas booking via an agency I am required to pay £12/day extra for parking. Please see this from a guests perspective rather than your own profitability. All guests should be treated equally regardless of which channel they used to find and book the accomodation.

8/10 Very good

Room was spacious and overall comfortable. Great that parking is available but this came at an additional cost. The selection at breakfast was great, especially for a continental offer, although some items could have been slightly better quality. Staff were really helpful, especially in making late check in possible. Location of the property was amazing.
