Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
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.
