The Log House
The location was very good & the hotel provided a parking permit for the pay & display car park across the street. Room was small which was fine but the en suite bathroom is not even a little bit sound proof so doesn't leave much to the imagination! The water pressure for the shower wasn't great & the water stopped intermittently whilst in the shower. Breakfast was nice but limited to full English, salmon & scrambled eggs or pancakes with maple syrup.

I think the good star rating is down to the restaurant. The rooms needed updating, the bed had springs popping out of the middle, it needed a hoover and a complete freshen up. Does not look as it did in the pictures. We wanted a little bit of luxury but we didn’t get it here. We checked out a day early and spent the night at the townhouse further into Ambleside which I would highly recommend

Lovely stay and good value for money. Only downside was the heat in the room (it was a very hot spell of weather) but a fan was provided, window if opened let in too much road noise. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely restaurant 5 out of 5, steaks on hot stone excellent and breakfast choice, quality and size very generous. Accommodation average, but very clean in room, stairs carpet rather dirty as you would expect with all the outdoor footwear. A little noisy as quite near the road and room above restaurant.

Very good
I would highly recommend the log house to anyone for the price it was very good value for money. The location was very hand just across the road from the bus stop, free car parking in the public car park across the road and just around the corner from the dock for the lake cruises. Had a back entrance to the accommodation so you could come and go as you please at what ever time and not have to go through the restaurant. The staff was very welcoming and very helpful and the full English breakfast in the morning was gorgeous. If I was being very nit picky I would say maybe some of the bedroom furniture could maybe do with a bit of a refresh but that's is being a bit too critical especially considering the price. I definitely would go again!

Rather disappointing
We were a little disappointed in The Log House, which is a quirky little building on the way into Ambleside... not too far to walk. Only 3 rooms above the steak house restaurant. The stair carpet had seen better days and there was a strange smell which we found a little off putting... presumably it was from the cooking. Our room was pleasant and although clean everything looked grubby due to putting "shabby chic" cream accessories against white painted walls. The shower tray was cracked and the door damaged at the bottom and one side of the bed appeared to have a broken spring which went "clang" when sat upon (no chair in the room!) the mirror was directly opposite the window so unusable by daylight! Breakfast was a generous "full English" and the chef was amenable to my requests, thank you. We only needed somewhere to sleep so this was fine and reasonably priced.

Romantic night away that wasn't
Springs in the bed could be seen and felt individually -uncomfortable night. Picture of room on the internet does not indicate that it is very small, no wardrobe, but there is a hanging rail with plastic coat hangers from various places on the rail no other place to put anything, the checked throw on the bed was old and had pulled threads all over it, bedside wall lamp "arms" dusty, chandelier very dirty. Window latch very loose and screws barely holding the latch in place so it was hanging off. Shower tray had a large diagonal crack covered by a non-slip mat and chips around the plug hole. Tooth brush holder/mug dirty with toothpaste on the side and top, white left overs of something inside the base, liquid hand soap dispenser dirty with congealed hand soap around the dispenser and on the plunger. Guest lounge: Unclean TV - no remote. Material couch smelt of sweat , candle holder by the telly broken and sitting drunkenly to one side, other seating - bucket chairs table dirty with crumbs from previous person, felt very unloved & forlorn; we couldn't sit on the couch initially and had to sit in alternative seating as staff were using the lounge for their break and had taken up the couch; it looks like it was nice when it opened but needs refurbishment. We were so looking forward to having dinner here and a night away and the accommodation was such a let down, housekeeping clearly not checking on cleanliness or details that need repair and passing this on to maintenance.

Friendly Family Run Hotel
Really friendly family run hotel. The breakfast was really good, it is part of a restaurant so this would e expected. We stayed for a meal on one of the nights, again the food was top quality. You need to watch your head on some of the low beams, but that is part of the character of the hotel, so all good.

Rooms above a great restaurant
Booked for two couples for the steak night as we had heard rave reviews about the quality of the food and we were not disappointed. Rooms were very adequate and the beds very comfortable. Location is also great for both Ambleside town and the Lake, so what not to like? All in all a very good experience.
