Smallwood House

We couldn't have been more pleased. A wonderful four days in the Lake District. Never to be forgotten. (97531268)

We were delighted with the hospitality and friendliness of the host

I suggested that the directions to the guests on the website for arrival by bus were a little vague leading to a longer than necessary walk and confusion. I offer this not as a criticism but as a help.

We had a really pleasant stay, although the Lake District does get very busy of course. (97168137)

Everything was fine. The staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive.

The Smallwood House Hotel was very close to the centre of Ambleside. We found the hotel very clean and comfortable, the owner and staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious. We would definately stay here again. (97349783)

The hotel was very central to Ambleside town centre. It was very clean and comfortable. The owner and staff very friendly and helpful.

The hotel was positioned well, it was in the centre of town but not noisy. The hotel was generally nice and clean and friendly. (97548086)

It was a very friendly atmosphere, helpful staff, clean rooms and toiletries and fluffy towels were provided. Breakfast was nice.

Our room had a sloping ceiling over the bed which made it a bit tricky getting in and out of bed and the ceiling in the bathroom sloped over the bath so you could only have a shower sitting in the bath.

Centrally positioned in Ambleside so easy access to cafes, shops, pubs and the excellent local picture house was ideal for our weekend break! Good starting point for varied walks in breathtaking scenery.(We bought a pack of local walks from the tourist information centre for £1.85 and certainly got our money's worth!)Enjoyed some good pub food and beer in the evenings and took full advantage of the films on offer. Hotel was well run with friendly staff. (97399895)

The location of the hotel was just right for us.Staff were friendly and polite and cheerfully accommodating over breakfast options. Our room was comfortable and checked daily.

The only problems we encountered were trouble locking our room door and a rowdy disturbance ihe early hours of the morning just beneath our window.

On arrival we were greeted by the hotel staff and shown to our room.Perhaps we should have asked which side of the hotel our room was situated as the front of the hotel can be a little noisy at nights,we were okay because we were at the back. We actually arrived early but that was no problem.Shops,Cinema and most of all the walks were all very close.Maps were available if required. Checkout was fast and efficient and we were very satisfied at the cost. (97568240)
