Pros: The property was very close to Ambleside town centre (5 mins walk). 15 mins from the pier giving you access to Bowness and Windermere. It’s a lovely typical slate building fitting in with the surrounding area whilst having a modern yet fitting interior. The staff are very friendly and polite and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Pros: A wonderful stay with incredibly attentive (though not overly so) staff. They were full of smiles, very polite and amiable. The room was luxurious with plenty of space for clothes and travel bags, lots of electric sockets, TV, books, great tea and coffee making (with extra should you require it). Room service available at an extra charge, although I didn't use this, if I'd have needed to I would have been happy to pay the charge. Pretty much right at the top of Lake Windermere, a few steps, cross a road and you're there! Discounts on Boat trips available too, as well as maps for walks and suggestions of places to visit. The Deck overlooks the Lake and is a lovely place to sit and relax. As a solo traveller I didn't feel out of place, but did feel safe and secure. The car park has some tight entry to spaces that would struggle to fit anything larger than a small car but there is ample and spacious parking in the rest of the car park so that's not an issue, just something to be aware of. The food at Table 22 was utterly magnificent and again very reasonably priced. Overall my stay was about as perfect as it could have been!

Cons: evening meal was a bit disappointing for the price , my son had sea bass with vegetables and got just 1 small filet , a tempura battered whole leek , some potatoes and that was about it for £18 . i had the beef shin which was nice but vastly bulked out by a huge amount of mashed potato. i think for the prices they could add a little more variety
7.5 Good
Pros: The bed is comfortable.
Cons: No lift! You need to carry your luggage by yourself. No fridge! So inconvenient if you have drinks or anything need to be freeze. The lake scene isn’t actually the lake scene. There is road and a restaurant’s garden in between. Therefore is lack of privacy. You can’t open the curtain to enjoy the lake scene because there are a lot of ppl outside walking or sitting inside the garden “in front of “ your window!!

Pros: The staff at Brathay Lodge were just marvellous. They really went above and beyond to help our group. Altogether 22 people in our group with 8 of us staying at Brathay Lodge. Someone in our group forgot to book restaurant for the evening for 22 people. The staff tried helping out by suggesting good restaurants that can sit larger groups and gave me a folder of local restaurants and menus. Before you know it, within an hour we were all booked for dining. Also provided us with room fans & a small fridge on request. Also had lots of information to give out of walks we could do - extremely helpful. All areas of the accommodation was kept really clean and fresh - just the way I like it. Beds were really comfortable. When I booked, I didn't look closely at the breakfast menu but later on I looked through & was really disappointed that there was no option of cooked English breakfast. They offered continental breakfast only. My past experience abroad with continental breakfast was disappointing as they pile on loads of cold meat (I'm vegetarian). However, at Brathay Lodge there was lots of selection of quality cereals, fruits, pastries, toast, boiled eggs, delicious cheese etc. I don't feel I missed out on breakfast. Not sure I would feel the same if I went in winter season as I would prefer a hot breakfast.

5.0 Okay
Pros: Location was good
Cons: We were originally placed in a dog friendly room which was of poor standard and smelled of dogs , we had requested a delux room and were not taking a dog. After some debate we were thankfully moved .
7.5 Good
Pros: The beds were comfortable and the bath was gorgeous over all ok
Cons: I certainly didn’t like the room aspect of looking out over kitchens and staff car park. The fire escape was right next to my room and the venting system. We asked if we could be moved and we were told we would need to pay an extra 60 per night and that if we had booked direct they could have explained our rooms wouldn’t have views

Pros: Very helpful staff
Cons: Nothing

Pros:
Cons: Noisy plumbing, which woke me up at midnight, and the room lacked privacy - people on the terrace could look directly into my room if the curtains weren't closed the whole time.

Pros: Beautiful grounds and only a short walk to lake and town centre.
Cons:

Pros: The room was lovely, tv and Wi-Fi worked really well. We had a beautiful ensuite with good shower and everything was sparkling clean. You get your own front door key so you can come and go as you please. Excellent breakfast, lovely hosts what more could you ask. Some people have mentioned the parking as an issue but there were 5 cars fitted in when we stayed and if its full you only have to go on the lane behind for free parking . If not there is a pay and display couple of mins away. You can walk to the town centre in 10 mins or less and there are loads of places to get a good meal. Would definitely stay here again if we are in the area. We stayed in room no 1 on the first floor.

I checked in for the room and then went to order food but I didn't know that I needed to find the table number first before I order. The lady was very unhelpful and bit rude. Unfortunately friend of mine was hungry so had to order it other I would've walked away.

Pros: The location of the property is excellent. Extremely close to the bus stops and major sights in Rydal. River Rothay and Rydal Lake is a stone’s throw away from the hotel. Also, our stay was on the first floor which had views toward the woodlands and the lake. The hotel provides breakfast which is extremely good and filling. You should try the food and drinks at Badger Bar and if your someone who enjoys something sweet post meals, I would recommend the Sticky Toffee Pudding :) The check-in and check-out was quick easy. The rooms were clean and the staff is extremely friendly.

Pros: We had a lovely two night stay here with all the family and young grandchildren, both families were in the cottages which were lovely and roomy with lovely bathrooms and very clean. We were in the main hotel, our room was very nice and clean, shower adequate with a view of the rock and action men climbing which my grandchildren loved. Tea and coffee facilities were good with many different teas. We ate both nights at the hotel as it was so good, homemade pies were delicious, breakfasts were equally good with a very good choice. The staff were very friendly and accommodating with three very young children. The hotel is in a good location away from the hustle of Ambleside and Grassmere so a lovely place to chill out after a day out and taste the pubs local ales. Lastly the badgers were a welcoming surprise and a hit with the little ones. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel and hopefully be back one day.

Pros: The staff were nice.
Cons: Very disappointed by the bathroom in our room. The photos on booking.com are misleading - showing only the modernised bathrooms in the hotel. Our bathroom had no standing shower, only a bath/shower that looked like it was from the 1980s. My wife is nearly 8months pregnant and had to try and crouch down in the bath to have a shower which is not what you expect at £140/night.

Cons: Our stay was for 2 nights at the cottage with the view towards the woodlands. What I did not like is that we couldn’t keep the windows open as insects and mosquitoes kept coming into the room. I would recommend the hotel to invest on mosquito/ insect nets. The bedroom walls are extremely thin and we could hear people speaking/ kids crying in the next room. The rooms in the main block seemed more clean and refurbished recently, so would certainly recommend those rooms.

Cons: There wasn't really any other contact with guests other than the waiting staff at breakfast so it lacks that friendly, personal touch. The time of the breakfast is pretty inflexible - 8.30-9.30. Check-in times also a little rigid, though they accommodated a slightly later than suggested check in time which was appreciated. The bedrooms could do with updating to match the much more modern and stylish downstairs and outside of the building. It's not bad though and it is certainly clean and the bed is comfy.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: The Landlady welcomed us with a warm and friendly greeting. Although our rooms were not ready it was soon remedied with a glass of wine, an excellent start to the weekend. I also like the character of the old building. Excellent freshly cooked full breakfast, plus help yourself cereals, toast, etc. Fun atmosphere with live music in the bar both nights. Thank you great hosts!
Cons: On a busy road so a little noisy but only to be expected at the weekend, in a pub in the centre of Ambleside.
Located in Ambleside, The Churchill Inn is within a 15-minute drive of Lake Windermere and Hill Top. The front desk is staffed during limited hours. Free self parking is available onsite.
