Ambleside Salutation Hotel, BW Premier Collection

We booked a table in the very attractive dining room. The whole Hotel interior is spacious and very well appointed. Service was impeccable and the food and wine delicious. A Manager asked if we were having a good dining experience and was very pleasant. All in all not very expensive but a very good experience. Thanks to our attentive waiter Manuel. less

Great place to stay in the centre of Ambleside. We stayed in a Comfortable room on the 2nd floor overlooking the town, a couple of comfy chairs near the window made it perfect for having a drink and watching the world go by. We had fabulous weather so had the windows open which was very noisy in the early evening but quietened down later. We were awoken early by traffic noise though so a room at the back would probably be quieter. We didn’t stay sor dinner evening but breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. Great leisure suite with sauna, steam, pool and lovely relaxing hot tub outside. Perfect location for lake Windermere. We would definitley stay again. less

My partner and I have just returned from a weekend visit to the hotel whilst in the area for an ultra run with our running group. The hotel is very nice, the rooms comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. We booked for two nights bed and breakfast but as the run started at 7am we were unable to have a proper breakfast the first day. My partner mentioned this to the staff who immediately agreed to prepare a continental style breakfast for 11 of us and leave it outside our rooms. The cooked breakfast on the second day was fab and every preference and taste is accounted for. We used the spa before checking out....well worth a visit if you have time. The only reason I have rated the hotel a 4 instead of a 5 is that the room was roasting hot with no way of cooling it down so it was almost impossible to sleep. I know this is down to the hot weather but air conditioning would be a bonus! less

Fantastic hotel! The staff couldn't have been more helpful in every aspect of our 2 night stay. Nothing was too much trouble. They made my Mums birthday celebration so special. The pool area is excellent. Didn't use the gym but never seen such a well equipped gym which we passed on our way to the pool. less

Our room (Langdale) was beautiful with a balcony overlooking a brook. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The hot tub was a luxury touch but as the weather was so hot we had to use it before 6.30am or after 10pm when the sun had gone down - which certainly wasn't a hardship. My only minuscule criticism is that I couldn't use the Nespresso coffee machine - I kept getting hot water only. Perhaps some instant coffee could be provided for us techno-incompetents! Every member of staff was lovely. We will definitely return. less
