If like myself your looking for relaxing, tranquil, wind down from the stress of every day life, with absolutely stunning views, then look no further than this hotel. Special mention to all the staff at Salutation Hotel, you won't get better staff. The spa was always quiet, I was in spa every day I was there, very good. I can't say anything negative about this hotel, probs one of the best hotels and staff I've come across in very long time. 5 massive Stars

*Just returned from this amazing hotel.* We booked two days here to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. Our room was absolutely amazing. It had sauna, steam room/shower and hot tub on the balcony. Every member of staff that we had the pleasure to speak were always so pleasant. Last but not least the food was fantastic. Will definitely return. X

We have just left after a long weekend stay and we are missing it already. What can I say, the accommodation is excellent, clean, tidy and spacious. The food and bar drinks were first class and the staff are outstanding. It is the 12 th hotel we have stayed in this year and without doubt the best. There is simply nothing to fault. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making our stay so special. Wishing you all the very best wishes for the future. Neil and Julie Marsden.

A very welcoming and caring hotel. We opted for bed and breakfast, and the breakfast was lovely. The waiting staff were extremely attentive and went the extra mile. Amazing location, in the centre of ambleside with lots of walks easily accessible. Spa and swim were nice after a long walk. Room was clean and attended to daily. Couldn't of asked for anything more!
