From the moment we stepped through the door at Brathay Lodge until we left we were made to feel very welcome by Trevor. The management team and staff were very friendly, without being over bearing, throughout our stay. The suite we had was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and of a great size, just what was needed for a relaxing stay.... More

We stayed here for two nights on a KGB deal, which was good value for money. Brathay is very comfortable and clean, and the staff are friendly. There is plenty of parking which is a bonus in crowded Ambleside, and the B&b is near the centre of the village. Breakfast was fine. Would recommend this establishment as long as the... More

I booked online as a last minute treat for two adults three children, 11, 6 and 5 and the dog. I was a bit apprehensive as some pet friendly accommodation can be a bit 'whiffy'. Brathay was easy to find and we were able to park right next to the room which, being pet friendly was located in a ground... More

Arrived on Mon 19th Feb, greeted by the owners. Very friendly and welcoming. Trevor gave us a quick and helpful tour of the lodge showing us everything we needed. Very well set up for dogs for a small fee of £7 you get your own access and pet friendly room (which did NOT smell of dogs in any way). Very... More

The 4 poster room was lovely, really spacious and comfortable with a great view, the jacuzzi bath a real treat after an 8 mile walk, and breakfast was one of the best continental breakfasts ever! Ambleside is a great little... More

With a last minute change of plan for our wedding anniversary due to the wonderful English climate, we looked on t'internet for places to stay. We have stopped at several nice hotels in the past but wanted somewhere central to Ambleside. I recall... More
