This hotel is a cozy retreat with exceptional service and a delightful atmosphere. The food was impressive, making our stay even more enjoyable. However, the lodge we booked did not meet our expectations as there was no hot tub, which was a letdown on our anniversary. Overall, it’s a good value but with room for improvement on specific accommodations.

I had an amazing week-long stay at The Salutation in Ambleside. The location was perfect for exploring the area, and the spa facilities were a highlight of my trip. The breakfast was delicious with a variety of options, though the dining experience could be improved from the previous buffet style. The room we stayed in had its quirks but the hot tub was a nice touch. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel and would love to return!

I had a fantastic time at this hotel! The spa facilities were a highlight, providing a great place to unwind after exploring Ambleside. The breakfast selection was impressive, and the staff were genuinely attentive and professional. However, the service at lunch was a bit lacking, and our initial encounter with a cleaner wasn't the best. Overall, I'd definitely consider returning for the spa and location.
