We spent a wonderful week at the Brathay Lodge. The room was very comfortable with a big high bed. Trevor, Karen, Zoe and Carol were very friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble The hospitality tray was well received. Parking was excellent alongside the hotel. The hotel was ideally placed, minutes from the town centre , shops, restaurants etc The only down side, I appreciate due to the age of the building, there was no lift which would have been helpful carrying our luggage up and down the stairs to the second floor. However this would not stop us staying at this great hotel in the future. Thank you all

We absolutely loved our weekend two night stay at the Barthay lodg

8.0 / 10.0

Good hotel with good views and clean rooms. Rooms we stayed were compact with Mountain views. A great location in Ambleside. Bus stops with Public Buses towards Windermere are next door. The hotel didn't have lifts but the climb on the stairs didn't seem steep.but older people might struggle a bit. There's a £12 parking charge per day. Breakfast was included but very limited options and a limited window for an hour

4.0 / 10.0

Booking. Com charged me an extra £29 per day for a cooked breakfast which you apparently do not provide. The continental breakfast however was excellent. A grab handle would be useful to aid getting in and out of the bath, also I would have preferred a softer mattress and pillows. But otherwise a very enjoyable stay.

The hotel is in a very good location with local shops and restaurants very nearby. Its near the waterfalls and lake. Staff very nice. One minor things no cooked breakfast on offer but I could do with losing a few pounds.

Lovely hotel with great staff. Very clean although the room and bathroom were not huge. Newly decorated it was very clean - great shower. Great parking and access to Ambleside. Only grumble is the continental breakfast went out for cooked breakfast on 1st morning

5.0 / 10.0

Very friendly hotel located just outside of the main town centre. Parking was easy and reasonably priced, and the welcome by the host was excellent. The whole hotel was very clean, comfortable bed, nice shower bathroom, and a good selection for breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Liked it all especislly owner Trevor who is a great host

4.0 / 10.0

The staff were friendly and very helpful. We stayed for 4 nights and the room was never cleaned in that time. I question the parking policy whereby guests booking directly with the hotel they receive free parking, whereas booking via an agency I am required to pay £12/day extra for parking. Please see this from a guests perspective rather than your own profitability. All guests should be treated equally regardless of which channel they used to find and book the accomodation.

Brathay Lodge makes for a very comfortable and convenient stay in the Lake District. The room was modern and well-maintained and the staff friendly and considerate. There is a parking fee (unless booked direct) but you’d have to pay elsewhere anyway. If you have an electric car it’s a good idea to let them know in advance so you can use their reasonably-priced ProjectEV charger. The continental breakfast was fresh and varied and set us up for the day. Would definitely stay there again.

Our stay at Brathay Lodge was fantastic. Our room was spotless, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was also brilliant, it was right in the heart of Ambleside and close to all the main parts of the Lake District. The reserved parking spot was also a lovely added touch.

It was a last minute booking but we didn't regret it. The room was lovely, cosy and spotlessly clean with a view of the hills. The staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. We both needed a well-earned rest and that was exactly what we got. The continental breakfast was delicious with an excellent variety of food. We would definitely recommend Brathay Lodge for a visit.

The location was awesome and most of all the staff was really friendly and helpful. We asked for a recommendation on where to go to for a sightseeing and we followed the suggested route and it was breathtaking. Thank you so much for suggesting for us to go take the A592 to Watermillock. Simply incredibly! Very grateful for the hospitality and kindness from both the hotel managers.
