Ambleside Allan Bank Hotels

"Stay was great and spa was beautiful thank you "

"Lake View Country House, Grasmere epitomizes the tranquil beauty of the Lake District, offering guests an unforgettable blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Nestled in a peaceful setting with an acre of dog-friendly gardens, this accommodation boasts the rare privilege of private access to the shore of Grasmere Lake, perfect for a secluded morning stroll or paddle. The house is a short walk from the heart of the village, allowing easy exploration of Wordsworth's Dove Cottage and the famous Grasmere Gingerbread shop. Guests enjoy stylish, often lake-view, rooms and the added benefit of a complimentary infrared sauna, making it an ideal retreat after a day of challenging walks on the surrounding fells like Helm Crag. Furthermore, the on-site Grasmere Brewery and Distillery affiliation often provides guests with a discount on food and drink at the nearby gastro-pub, tying the stay to the very essence of local Cumbrian life. Lakeside View nails the essentials: stunning location, thoughtful convenience (parking), and a pet-friendly policy that is truly welcoming. When you combine that with a genuinely fantastic breakfast, you have the perfect Grasmere retreat. We highly recommend this hotel and look forward to our next visit!"

"Nothing was too much trouble for this hotel. One of the reception staff even gave advise on walks from the hotel door. Our room was superb and definitely lived up to our expectations having read the positive reviews from other travellers. "

"Great staff - especially those in the restaurant. Room was ok and clean."

"Quiet and spacious room. Quite dark and no views but comfortable. Plenty of dining options. "

"Spa and leisure facilities fabulous, room was lovely but needed a fridge"

"The property was perfect for our 4 night stay. Sitting on the balcony in the afternoon sunshine watching the birds and, on two occasions red squirrels, was wonderful.plenty of walks from the door, Loughrigg Tarn, Elterwater( lovely food in Britannia Inn) and Cathedral cave(steep in parts but wonderful views). The only thing to be mindful is that the site has some steepish banks. The property has lots of books, cds and board games in case weather isn’t very good. All in all a very nice,cosy well equipped property in wonderful location."

"Fab bunkhouse. Basic clean with a logburner and lounge and an excellent pub within walking distance. We will be back!"

"Spent the first half hour hoovering cobwebs from bedrooms....toilet floor was damaged and spongy......little disappointing really because we've stayed in this block of cottages before....."
