“One night stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 21, 2012

We booked the hotel on a whim, just for a one night stay, no walking, no dog and no children. The hotel was superb, the food was delightful and the service was excellent. Thank you

If there is a better hotel in Ambleside that offers the same quality food, comfort and attentive staff for the same price please let me know. We stayed the Regent 16/17th May 2012 and it could not have been more enjoyable. We could not fault the hotel in any way and would not hesitate to return to this ideal location.

I stayed at the Regent Hotel with my wife between 16th - 18th May and was not disappointed with our choice. We had stayed in a hotel the year before in Windermere and were disappointed with the quality and service we received so we were cautious when booking the Regent but all that was put to one side as we...

“Quiet yet handy for a walking holiday”

Lovely quiet hotel away from the noise and hustle of Ambleside yet very handy for the lake and other public transport. It was great to leave the car in the car park for a few days and I did several linear walks from the hotel door. Room very comfortable and excellent restaurant food. Lounge area much improved since my last... More

“Great place to stay, excellent customer service, good food and perfect location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2012

We booked a few months in advance and wanted to use the hotel as a comfortable base for a couple of days hiking. The location couldn't be better literally 20metres from the shore of lake Windermere and within a relatively short drive of all the best hiking places. The staff were excellent! The hotel is child friendly, we had two... More
