Feedback about The Log House from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Log House enjoys a superb location, just a short walk from Ambleside town centre and within easy reach of the lake, with a bus stop conveniently located right outside for exploring Keswick and Bowness. Many guests appreciate the well-equipped, modern rooms; some have noted the rooms, while spacious, can feel a little small. The rooms often feature thoughtful touches like fridges, tea and coffee facilities, and even mountain views, plus it's common to find lovely extras like balloons and rose petals upon arrival for special occasions. The Bassa cafe, just over the road, offers a discount for hotel residents, and the nearby Hayes Garden Centre is another popular spot for meals.

Wonderful Stay with Great Views

great location helpful staff
The location is excellent for walking to the town center. It aligned with what I expected from previous reviews. The provided fridge was convenient. All interactions with staff were pleasant and helpful.
The WiFi was not always reliable. This made the TV somewhat difficult to use (hopefully, they will fix this soon!).

the room was clean.
The noise level was unacceptable. I could clearly hear guests talking as if they were in the same room. the floors above creaked loudly until late at night, and again early in the morning. i suggest replacing the laminate with carpet in those rooms.

The room was quite clean overall. It met basic expectations.
the noise from the room above was unbearable. every step echoed, and it reminded me of they were rearranging furniture all night. the damp smell in the room was also quite off-putting, it lingered throughout our stay.
