Pendrell, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel, although sometimes waiting time to be served was a little frustrating - standing at the bar at breakfast with nobody else there and one member of staff at the other end of the bar on their phone isn’t a good look.

Excellent for us as very dog friendly.
Frances, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The location in ambleside is absolutely ideal. But was disappointed with the room which was dusty. Put the fan on and dust blew everywhere over the bed aswell. The staff were very friendly but on the last morning they were clearly short staffed and there was a 45 minute wait for breakfast. The breakfast both mornings wasn't the best either, Cold hash browns. Hoping this weekend was a one off as we have stayed in the inn collection hotels before and it was a lovely place to stay.

Tracy, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Property was in the center of Ambleside. Perfect for first time visitors and not far from car park if you are driving. Hotel was clean and comfortable.
Rebecca, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Dog friendly stay

Nice location room was ok but very warm. The did provide a fan in the room which was nice but noisy. The sick drain off was very slow so must have been blocked but as we were there for only one night didn’t bother us too much. The shower was good with good pressure and temperature settings. There really should be a small fridge in a room that gets this warm especially when small milk capsules are left on the side by the window. The evening meal was ok although the tables could have done with a better clean as were a little sticky. The staff were lovely and it were great with ours and all customers dogs.
