We were absolutely stunned to find out that the room service put our hairy coo plush toy to bed when we were away, tucked in nice and cozy, as if it was asleep! :-) This was possibly the nicest and cutest experience with any hotel we've had so far!! Thank you! <3

The room was clean, comfortable and quiet (considering it was a busy pub). The breakfasts were generous and delicious and served on hot plates. We met Grace on our second morning when she served us breakfast, she was delightful and friendly and made us feel very welcome, thank you.

wow what a stay! we took our 2 dogs for 2 night. The staff were absolutely amazing and the dogs were spoilt rotten. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They were amazing! We got a garden view room so that we could let the dogs out easily in the morning and during the night. Dogs are allowed off lead in the gardens but not many people do to be honest! The room was exceptionally clean, bed was comfy and the dogs even had a little goody bag! We ate in the hotel for 1 of the nights and for breakfast and the food was phenomenal! Would thoroughly recommend you eat here one night if you can! The website says dogs can only eat in the bar but the staff put us in the garden lounge where we could sample both the bar and alacarte menu. The location of the hotel is perfect. 5 min drive from Ambleside and about 10 mins from Windermere. You could walk it too but it was raining heavily when we went! Most walks are also a short drive away. As a young couple the location was perfect for us!

Breakfast is amazing, with a-la-carte eggs, and buffet with yogurt parfaits, breads, and other snacks. Beautiful dining room. On-site parking is an authentic local experience, but much appreciated. Staff were really wonderful and helpful. After-hours check in was flawless.

    I do like Ambleside area and Log House isn't in the town...

    I do like Ambleside area and Log House isn't in the town centre which I prefer, the town centre is almost a mile from Log House but you can get a bus into the centre if needed. Also you can get the boat from Waterhead Pier which is just a short walk from Log House and goes to Bowness and also Lakeside and you can get buses/trains to Keswick and Kendal and lots of other places around the lakes. And Hayes Garden Centre is just minutes away and is one of the largest in the area, lots to see and do and eat in there. As I was there just for one night I just took my own filled rolls and milk and biscuits but if had been a longer stay would have either gone to Hayes Garden Centre for a meal or over the road to Bassa and there are plenty eating places in the area. I like Bowness too and have stayed there for many years and plenty cafes, restaurants and fish and chip shop and ice cream shops and souvenir shops too.

    Ambleside itself is a very sweet little town.

    Ambleside itself is a very sweet little town. We stayed in the outskirts which I would definitely recommend as it gets very busy and overwhelming. The streets and paths are quite small and not built for the foot traffic it gets. It's a really nice spot to visit in the evening for some food or a pint after a long day of hiking. We would recommend The Apple Pie Cafe, and the pizzas at Mama Mia were expensive but very good

    Perfect sized town for having adequate facilities but without the crowds of Windemere. Easy to walk just a short way out to spectacular trails and views, good enough choice of restaurants and cafes to fill a week, lovely park for kids, waterside activities within walking distance.

    It’s very close to Ambleside centre with parking for one car. The kitchen has everything you need and milk, tea and coffee plus dishwasher tabs are very useful. The apartment is very warm with a lovely log burner. Plenty of coat rails and shoe rack for wet walking gear.
