Lacet House is situated in the heart of Ambleside, within the scenic Lake District National Park. The town is surrounded by mountains and rolling fells, with the head of Windermere Lake less than 1 mile away.

Breakfast was awesome. The hosts were extremely friendly and attentive to everyone and provided valuable information regarding restaurants and music in the area as well as recommendations for getting around in the Lake District. I would highly recommend this B&B

    The hotel was a great location, right in the centre of town and less than a mile from the pier. There is a shuttle bus that stops right outside the hotel if you don’t/can’t walk. The family room was a perfect size. I liked that there was a sofa bed rather than bunks for the children. Lovely and clean and room was made up each day (rare since Covid in most hotels!). What stands out here though are the staff - they were all so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I couldn’t speak more highly of them.

    1.Fantastic location. ( walkable to Windermere lake) I would suggest to park your car in the parking and walk around. 2.Spacious room for 2 adults and 2 kids. 3.Good breakfast , however the breakfast timings were Constricted (8-9) which is hard for families with kids to manage. 4.Gentleman managing during the breakfast time was friendly. 5. Ample of parking space. 6. On the day of arrival rooms were perfectly clean and tidy.

    Pub and restaurant are great. All I expected and hoped for in a ‘pub inn hotel restaurant ‘. Staff was very kind, helpful and fun ! Our family room was very big, and the bathroom very modern and clean. The surroundings are stunning. We stayed here the first night of our arrival in Lakedistrict and made a beautiful walk along the lake, played in the stream and climbed trees just in front of the hotel. The gardens and Wordsworth house also nextdoor. Kids asked straight away if we could stay there the rest of the holiday

    Visited with family and had a fabulous time. Excellent facilities, lovely atmosphere and staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. Very clean, quiet at night, great location for the lakes, minutes away from most places. We had loads of fun in the games room - pool, ping pong, table football (and not an ipad or technology in sight and the kids loved it). Would definetely return!
