19. High Ridge

Ambleside Town Centre, 2.8 km from Rydal Water

"High Ridge is perfectly situated right in the middle of Ambleside. However, it really does need some TLC. There are damp patches on the walls , the bed linen is rather questionable, & the window blinds are just simply dreadful . They let light in, don’t work properly & are very tatty indeed. The furnishings are of poor quality & there are just far too many dreadful pictures on the walls. The kitchen & bathroom are good but the rest of the property needs a jolly good face lift .

Top Rydal Water Hotel Reviews

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Great friendly helpful staff"

Crow How Country Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel - private, quiet setting, with amazing views of hills/countryside. Location ideal for us; far enough out of town to be rural and peaceful, yet only a short 15/20 min walk from small town of Ambleside where there are lots of lovely shops, bars/pubs and restaurants to choose from. Welcoming staff. Beautiful house with period features (signs of wear/mould, expected due to size/ age) Fabulous gardens (some areas not accessible due to lack of maintenance) Large, well designed room with period furniture and huge bed. Comfortable chairs to relax and enjoy the wonderful views. (Contemporary mirror didn’t quite fit with the rest of the furniture and maybe some artwork above the fireplace would finish it off well. Beautiful throw in wardrobe - I would show this off on bed as too pretty to put away) Quilt was thick so option of a sheet would have been nice, as it was hot during our stay, but thankful for the large fan provided. Great to have large fridge for cold drinks on hot days (on floor - would be easier to access if raised) No recycling bin. Bathroom very large, with huge jacuzzi bath and powerful shower- great to have towelling bathrobes, flannels, even cotton balls, provided. A chair in here would be a welcome finishing touch. Delicious breakfast, good quality local ingredients and great range of options. Criticisms above are well meant, and were very small things that didn't effect our stay, but may help improve future stays. Would definitely stay again."

Chestnut Villa

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful time in Grasmere staying at the Chestnut Villas . We were in the Silver Howe Room which was superb , we had a little patio area all to ourselves where we enjoyed our morning coffee whilst taking in the amazing views around us. Mike who owns the premises with his Mum takes so much pride in ensuring you have an enjoyable stay and it was so refreshing to meet someone with so much integrity as he has . The room was beautiful , clean and quiet and we didn’t want to leave. We will certainly be returning there again on our next visit to the Lakes."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Great location for Ambleside and the lakes. Only minor points were car park was pretty tight and only 2 spaces that EVs could use of which one had a reserved car for a disabled driver (although next door sauce was marked for such cars). Lack of air con made room quite warm on what was a very hot weekend, however rooms were well appointed and spacious. Spa and gym were excellent and worth a visit, very clean too. Food for breakfast could not be faulted and nice to have a varied choice of fish too. Overall, highly recommended and good vfm too."
