Cons:

The rooms are not updated as expected, and the carpets are outdated and worn. The bathroom tiles are cracked, and overall, the room is not as clean as shown in the pictures.

Perfect for Walking up Wansfell pike (Wainwright)
Pros:

Location is lovely on the lakes edge but only a short walk up into Ambleside. Rooms are comfortable, stylish and clean. Toiletries smelt beautiful. The food in the pub was delicious and served quickly.

Cons:

Not enough milk portions.

Wholesome, scenic and overall a very welcoming and pleasant stay.
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely and delicious! Staff were very friendly and welcoming. All the locals and staff love dogs which is very ideal!

Cons:

The rooms are nice and definitely big enough for two people and a dog - they’re just not the quietest being next to a main road! But overall a pleasant stay and we would come back.
