We booked this as they allowed dogs to stay, just for one night, on May 12th, what a lovely welcome for us and the dog, fantastic rooms, and the DVD library in reception was a huge bonus due to the awful weather! Will definitely be going back!

WE stayed at Lakes Lodge for 3 nights and were very satisfied with the accommodation. We booked a superior room and it was a good size. We stayed in room 14 and the large shower was very good. Parking seemed to be an issue for some visitors with larger cars but we left our car in the car park when... More

We've been coming to the Lakes Lodge and also their sister hotels for a number of years and never been disappointed with the standard of the roms and the breakfasts -even when the power failed one year they managed to buy in a breakfast from a nearby hotel

Have just returned from a 2 night stay at Lakes Lodge and can only praise this B&B. The room was lovely and the breakfast was excellent with both full english and cereals etc. Location couldn't have been better for the village centre. The staff were also very helpful with directions and local attractions. Would certainly stay here again!

We don't normally leave reviews but after spending 11 nights at Lakes Lodge in Ambleside for our honeymoon we decided we must. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff that are more than willing to help or do anything for you which has made our stay that much more relaxing. We stayed in room 17 (Ruskin)... More

Very friendly welcome, we had a standard room & only stayed 1 night all was very clean and warm, the breakast was a buffet style with lots of choice & well cooked. We usually stay in a more expensive hotel but found once you were in your room you really couldn't tell the difference we really enjoyed our stay.
