Highly Recommended place to stay
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.

Very impressed. Great to find a three bedroom room, which really helped keep costs down. Room nice and clean with a good view. Staff very friendly. And I’d forgotten breakfast was included so a really nice continental breakfast as a bonus!

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

Ambleside autumn break
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

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.

Lovely stop between Scotland and Slough.
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

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.

4/10 Fair
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.

A great place to stay in Ambleside
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.
