"Great location, very handy having a parking spot in Ambleside. Well situated, short walk into town and very handy for the cinemas & restaurants. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and freshly cooked to order. Lovely big room with a great view. Thought it might be noisy as it's by the main road but this wasn't a problem at all."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"A wonderful stay yet again at the salutation hotel. The location of the hotel makes it an ideal stay to visit Ambleside. Perfect to park the car when you arrive and no need to use it again for your stay. Having a spa within the hotel is a bonus and the standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel is exceptional. We stayed in a room at the front of the hotel , which yes there is a little street noise , but nothing you wouldn’t expect staying in a town centre , and certainly didn’t keep you awake at night - in fact it was probably one of the highlights of our room - people watching below and the beautiful fells in the distance. Breakfast is a real treat , excellent selection of hot and cold food and drinks , there is everything you could possibly want for breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff - everyone greats you with a smile and are most helpful. Having visited the Lake District from childhood staying at campsites, lodges, cottages and b&b’s , I can honestly say this is my favourite place to stay. Thank you to the team at The Salutation Hotel , hopefully we will return soon."
