Guest Reviews

An Anonymous Guest gave Lake House a rating of Excellent

"A recommended hotel for views and being close to the lake and Ambleside town. We stayed in a fourposter room on the top floor, and watching the sun go down over Windermere, was certainly a sight to remember. The staff were excellent hosts, and would go out of their way to help you. The breakfast next morning certainly filled you, and again having breakfast whilst having Windermere as a view, what else would you want!!"

"Brilliant Views!! Excellent breakfast selection, close to town and lake."

"There was no heating on in the room. It got cold at night."
