Breakfast was good and liked the table service. Larger room with balcony was nice and clean. However the bed was a bit uncomfortable and lumpy and the sauna was not working and steam room was only partially working. Pool and jacuzzi all good. Very nice seating areas around bar and would recommend

Wonderful, relaxing stay. Clean and comfortable rooms with robes and slippers provided, making spa use easier. Spa facilities good although steam room unavailable for one day - awaiting repair so no one's fault. The staff coped exceptionally well during an unexpected, regional power cut. They were excellent throughout our stay, and very helpful when we accidentally left a coat in the wardrobe. Thank you for making our short break, so relaxing and enjoyable.

I recently stayed at the Salutation Hotel & Spa in Ambleside and came away genuinely impressed. Perfectly located in the heart of town, it’s an ideal base for exploring the Lake District — with shops, cafés, and walking routes right on your
Staff were friendly, welcoming

We loved room 114 with a balcony and jacuzzi bath. The food - breakfast and dinner - were wonderful and the staff invariably charming (especially Manuel). The spa was excellent with a decent pool, steam room and sauna and a gym, all of which we used. A brilliant little holiday.

Breakfast was good, rooms were clean.
The rooms were really warm even though it was late March. There was a fan and windows opened but it made little difference.
The spa was very average, it could be significantly better as well. It was very busy for how small it was, they could have it a lot bigger if they used the space better as there is a big gym area bigger than most hotels and not one person used it!

We had an amazing time. The hotel is lovely, every piece of decor & furniture is luxurious. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful.
We were booked in for B&B and breakfast was wonderful.
When we arrived Liam checked us in & explained the town was experiencing power cuts & lifts weren ’t working. As I have mobility issues they couldn’t give us our intended room instead we were given Room 2 Olive Mews and I can only describe it as heavenly, with it’s own spa.
I booked a massage and it was great too.
We are home now after being pampered & spoiled. I think we have found our new No.1 favourite hotel. Thank you
