The Gateway Hotel

Great breakfast. Wonderful evening meal

Clean, quiet room with comfy beds. Warm, modern bathroom with great shower. Very friendly, helpful staff & lovely food. Good views but you do need a car to get to it & there are no paths for a walk.

Clean and confortable, very good value including dinner and especially breakfast. Staff welcoming and attentive. A special mention to the person who seemed to be making it all happen, Ionella who's attention to detail and guests was amazing.

we were very happy with the breakfast and evening meal etc the staff were very good, the room was ok except for the winding stairs to the top floor but we managed alright,
the only problem with the hotel we found was the lack of
a bus service etc you have to get taxi if you want to go into town or drive and find car park, all in all a lovely hotel and staff.

Staff were welcoming and helpful, room clean and warm with lovely views.
Would definitely book again.

Clean compact room
Staff excellent and attentive

Staff were welcoming, room warm and clean with lovely views. Would stay there again.
One minor grumble: no-one told us about fire precautions. On our 1st stay our room was up a very narrow twisty staircase which would have been difficult to get down if there was a fire.

Every thing fine ,very welcoming, lovely room lovely food ...will come again thank you

Very friendly staff. Nice bar and lounge.
Our room was small but comfy and clean. Would certainly recommend

Staff were very nice. Beautiful building in a convenient location. Our room’s heater couldn’t be adjusted or turned off so we were really hot. The linen and furnitures were comfortable. The tv was tiny, so that should definitely upgraded. Breakfast was delicious. We didn't have dinner but the reviews showed high recommendations from other guests.

The property was perfect for an autumn weekend away. There must of been an issue with the thermostat however as it felt like 100oC despite the windows open. Couldn’t switch the radiators off. Given the price of the booking, you’d of thought breakfast was included, I was wrong. Wanted to eat in the hotel in the evening, as the food smelt delicious however was told by staff that all tables were full for the night which was a shame. So a late night shop to Booths it was.

Comfortable room, very friendly staff and lovely meal.

Lovely hotel, convenient location, quite scenic (excluding the road thatvwas rather busy). The staff were excellent, evening meal was great and at a good price. Room was spacious and well decorated. A few negatives unfortunately, the room was extremely dusty in places such as the corners and bottom of the table, the less obvious places. Although the restaurant was lovely food, i wasn't a fan of being able to smell every dish that was cooked in our room which in turn meant all our cloths smelled of cooking. I had to stand on a chair to draw the curtains as they would not move on the curtain pole. A personal opinion which may not matter to others was the mattress, i like a medium or firm mattress, this im afraid was like sleeping on a bean bag, very soft and had the sinking effect which lead to a poor nights sleep, however a soft mattress may favour other guests.

Excellent food. Lovely bedrooms, very comfortable. Poor location.

Very friendly staff and a jolly vibe

The hotel was very comfortable and I enjoyed my stay, staff were welcoming and friendly, lovely room and good food.

Pros: very dog friendly, space to allow dogs to be off lead (but under control); comfy bed and bedding; clean, good shower; great food in the restaurant downstairs; close to motorway for an easy set off home, yet only 12 min from Ambelside.

Cons: stained, old, dirty carpet; sticky bathroom floor; charge for dogs says £15 on all adverts, yet tried to charge £20, not a huge deal but detail like that lowers the rating in my opinion; one morning had to ask for tea bags as not been replaced; for some people it may matter that it's a bit on the outskirts of Lake District and there isn't much within walking distance; breakfast not included which, added to the above, lowers value for money.
Staff are all right, but don't seem to be going out of their way, so to speak. They seemed a bit grumpy, but might just be my impression. Very steep and narrow stairs but that's made very clear on adverts.

We spent two nights at the Gateway Inn and it was excellent. The rooms are spacious and spotless and the staff were great. Very helpful ,courteous and welcoming. The food was delicious. Lots of variety for breakfast and the main menu has something for everyone. Definitely recommend the Lamb Henry. We dined on both nights and we’re not disappointed . It gets busy so you have to book it. Must mention they have a good selection of ales and wines to suit all tastes. We will definitely be going back and have recommended it to all our friends and family. Must mention Dog friendly . They look after your pet too . Benji loved his gift.

We stayed here for two night’s lovely staff food beautiful and hotel very clean and welcoming

Excellent well presented room. Really good staff, great location.
