Ambleside bed & breakfasts

Pros: Comfortable and warm with an excellent breakfast

Cons: Very small room and would have loved a bath after a long hike

Pros: Price and location good

Cons: Room in attic space, top floor. Not v. Good, especially as hotel on partially full. Breakfast (bacon) seemed to have been pre cooked then re heated, a bit tough.

Pros: Extra little touches in rooms and ensuite to make stay more homely. Secure, gated parking. Food excellent.

Pros: The location was good, central to Ambleside, but being on a side street meant that it was quiet at night. Additional car parking which we requested on booking was a bonus. It was a secure lock up and just a short walk away from the hotel.

Cons: We would have called Hillsdale a bed and breakfast rather than a hotel. The ensuite was tiny. You had to negotiate the sink before sliding onto the toilet - a lot of elbow banging. The bed was uncomfatable as you could feel the springs and the quilt had seen better days, it was just warm enough for October. The breakfast was average - the beans and mushrooms were on ration! We asked for breakfast at 8.30 and we were ask if 8.25 was o.k. - clock watching is not on our agenda when having a relaxing weekend! Over all we were disappointed and will not be staying there again.

Pros: location was excellent,clean with a good breakfast.

Cons: we were in room 2 which we found to be quite small and the en suite shower room was also cramped.

Pros: Hotel was clean, tidy and very welcoming. Good sized rooms, comfy bed. Breakfast was excellent. Good value for money. Would certainly recommend the Hillsdale and will definetly be booking again.
