    My friend recommends this one

    Best Western Ambleside Salutation Hotel
    Lake Road, LA22 9BX Ambleside
    Best Western Ambleside Salutation Hotel is set in a 17th-century building, and has a leisure club with a swimming pool, sauna, spa bath and steam room. There is also a fitness centre and beauty spa.

    The Garden Room Restaurant serves a varied menu using local produce. The Bistro offers lounge bar snacks and evening meals.

    Situated in the heart of Ambleside, The Best Western Salutation Hotel is surrounded by walking routes. Lake Windermere is a 20-minute stroll away, and Elter Water is just 10 minutes’ drive
    I'm going to blow the bank on a new build ( within reason ) NOW DONE!!

    Stayed at this one a couple of years back;

    Very friendly, secure bike storage (apparently bike theft is rife in the area!).
    Pictures are better than words because some words are big and hard to understand.
