“Fantastic hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW via mobile

Well what a cracking hotel the Regent is. Brilliant location, right next to the lake and pier but only a 10 minute walk onto the town. The hotel is beautifully decorated and spotless. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast, absolutely first class. Will be heading back there without a doubt.

“Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2013

We stayed here for a weekend in July. This is a nice hotel in a really good location. The reception, bar and restaurant are lovely and modern, however our room was probably the worst in the whole hotel which was disappointing. The room was the first one you come to at the top of the stairs and we had disturbed... More

Have just spent a wonderful holiday at the Regent Hotel. The hotel is in a perfect location close to the Lake. The car park, at the rear of the hotel, is a big plus! Our room was spotlessly clean. The breakfast menu was extensive and everything was freshly cooked. We had dinner here every evening and again the food was... More

“Excellent hotel, thoroughly enjoyable stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 June 2013 via mobile

We stayed at the Regent for a couple of nights back in February. Having previously stayed at the Lake House, I was optimistic that we'd receive the same quality of service as we have done at the sister hotel, and certainly wasn't disappointed. The staff were very knowledgeable about the area and keen to help with any queries at any... More

“Rest and recouperation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2013

After a busy family wedding we wanted a few quiet, relaxing days away. We chose a garden room which was well appointed and comfortable. The hotel borders the lake and a lane at the back leads to Ambleside, only a pleasant stroll away. There is a reliable bus service too. For a trip on the lake you are minutes from... More
