excellent room, nice, tidy and spacious. The Bed was super comfy! Loved the drying unit outside our room door for all our wet gear in the fells - Got it dry in a few hours.

Spoke to reception for some more coffee/hot chocolate and when we came back after evening meal, they were outside.

Wouldnt hesitate to stay again

We had a great room that was that was perfect for our short stay. The room was clean and comfortable, with a large on-suite. The extra space was needed as we traveled with our dog. The property has lovely grounds to explore and it’s close to pubs. I highly recommend this property.

This is a great place to stay. We had a great view from our room. The room was so nice. The bed was so comfy. The Bathroom was a really good size along with the room as a whole. It was in a great location not far from Ambleside. Checking was easy. The room was lovely and clean and i would definitely stay there again.

What a beautiful location , spent many hours gazing from our balcony , absolutely stunning scenery , they is a dog owners paradise , straight out the cabin onto beautiful lawns and fields , and mostly safe path to Ambleside apart from a stretch of about 100 mts , which is on the road , but managed well . The cabin itself is a very large clean room , huge comfortable bed , short balcony, which is safe , , large walk in shower cubicle , we asked for a fan because it was so hot , it was delivered in five minutes , overall the stay was exceptional ,

Very noisy

Stayed in the main house and although the views are fantastic, it’s not quite worth it. Walls are very thin so you can hear a pin drop on the room next door so everything else was quite noisy. There are definitely better places to stay in the lakes.

Beautifully situated near Lake Windermere .

We thought Brathay Hall is beautifully situated, our rooms ( Helvelyn 6& 8 )were rather cramped due to oversized Queen bed and not enough storage space for our clothes ,lack of hangers also,hot water was lute warm most of the time and also no heat from the Radiators( we told reception about this and it worked for one evening), a fan heater was offered,breakfast in the room was very good and the excellent staff were vere pleasant and accommodating. Overall we would reccomend a stay and we.would return.

Youth Hostel at 4* Hotel Price

Because of Covid-19 we knew it would be a bit different but did not know until we arrived that we would have to eat a continental breakfast in our room and make our own drinks etc. Also no room service (was not entered by staff during our 2 night stay). Dirty crockery, beds unmade, bin - empty it yourself, towels left in shower but not removed/replaced. The room was treated for covid before our arrival, so we did feel very safe. Also, a good selection of cold food left for 2 breakfasts. Lovely views of deer nearby, from our room.

Truly amazing

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights, but the weather kinda ruined it for the 2nd day for us. However we was very impressed with the hotel and service provided by them. All the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, The view from our room was magnificent and I don’t think we could have stayed in a better place in the Lake District.
