Ponsonby Hotels

"Fantastic breakfast, pool and spa facilities amazing. Restaurant compared to hotel I would have expected more, food was very average but the breakfast they serve is wonderful so doesn’t quite make sense. Rooms are wonderful and everything you need and spa bath is so relaxing. My 4th visit to hotel so always love it but Restaurant needs work."

"Delightful welcome on arrival. Room warm & cosy. Breakfast selection really different and in a super room overlooking the fells & full of character. The inn has such a great Old Cumbrian feel and is a joy to visit "

"Location near the beach is great. We even had a beach view!"

"Lovely hotel and gardens with friendly staff and fab breakfast great modern decor in traditional hotel.fab weather couldn't ask for any more "

"My first stay at Rothay Garth and the friendly staff - Joanna - made the experience more delightful. Finding the location via car GPS was intriguing. It said the location was on the left when the actual address is on the right side a little further down from the GPS indication. After making couple of rounds we found it and glad there was parking was available. Overall, Ambleside is a perfect location as a base to visit the lakes district and Rothay Garth was an excellent choice."

"Friendly Family run BnB, breakfast is fabulous and flexible. Onsite parking 👍"

"Staff were lovely and very accommodating when we arrived late from our hike and ensured we were settled in properly. Couldn’t ask for anything better and offered us drinks when the bar was closed aswell. Lovely staff"

"Beautiful location with large rooms looking over Grassmere lake. The decor is clean fresh with great choice of colours. Super king bed was very comfortable and room temperature perfect. The artwork on all the walls is enjoyable and like being in a private gallery. Staff were all very informative and friendly, Ronny in the restaurant was particularly great. The food choice for breakfast is plentiful and although dinner menu small the food is beautifully prepared and presented. My only personal comment is that it would have been nice to have included a side of vegetables in the price rather than as an extra. Housekeeping spot on. The spa is spacious with thermal pool ( not really for swimming) sauna and steam room . Lovely after a day of activities. The grounds are well maintained and terrace provides a sunny location to relax and enjoy the views, or if feeling active you can access the lake for a cold water dip or launch your kayak ."

"Best breakfast ever However shower ( room 6) rubbish "
