Cedar Manor Hotel is the cutest stay in the Ambleside area. 10/10 recommend, and we really hope to…read morereturn for a longer stay next time! It's a great location, just up the road from Ambleside. The Inn is quaint, charming, and comfortable and the staff are kind, welcoming and accommodating! We arrived and were immediately happy with the safe and private parking accommodations. We actually arrived very late that evening, and called ahead, they waited up for us and were so kind upon arrival. The Hotel is SO charming, cute and cozy. The aesthetic is charming English cottage, while also being updated and feeling clean. The hotel rooms themselves are more modern (though unique) to give you all of the comforts of home - my fave being the towel warmer. Our room was wonderfully clean (and I'm a stickler on cleanliness!) and the bed was so comfortable, especially after a long drive. It was such a comfortable and clean place to lay our heads for the evening. The hotel has a restaurant that I would also recommend. Breakfast was incredible - one of the first hotel breakfasts where I haven't had to douse in pepper haha. Well seasoned and well cooked, high quality ingredients. Jonathan is a wonderful chef. My husband said the hollandaise was one of the best he's ever had. I'd recommend stopping by for sure, and don't miss breakfast! The hotel is also very unique in that they have local goods/art around the hotel, both as decor and for sale. Such a sweet touch. We bought one of Caroline's paintings - she's multi talented! Overall, I would stay here again. 10/10!!

The hotel is recently re-decorated and the room I had was comfortable and a good size. Rooms are are quite variable, so with the hotel to see what they have available. The restaurant was surprisingly busy for a mid-week and the menu was extensive. I had an individual game pie for starters, venison steak with rosti for main and an excellent selection of english cheese and biscuits to finish. The food was to a very high standard, with a price tag to match: over £36 for the three courses. The wine list has a good selection and there is a huge selection of over 100 Malt Whiskys. The hotel is surprisingly child-friendly with family rooms, pool table, table tennis table and playground facilities. There is also a small pool, jacuzzi, infa-red sauna, turkish steam room and solarium. The hotel has some useful folders giving information on local attractions, walks and other things to do locally. Well worth a visit.

The resturant in the conservatory looks over Appleby with great views of the hills and surrounding area. The gardens of the hotel are well kept and tidy. The hotel has a gym and pool these being small so not for anyone wanting to do loads of swimming. The rooms are clean and pleasent. From the hotel you can walk easily down into the town and have a wander round the river which is really nice. This hotel is really good value for money and well worth a try if looking to stay in the area.

Down the alleyway by the side of the Tufton Arms Hotel is the Tufton Mews Cafe and Wine Shop…read more Although it is separate from the hotel it is part of their business. I would guess as the hotel in the past was a coaching inn this is where the horses stopped. The cafe has a continental slant serving paninis and crepes, tapas, Belgian waffles and, with a nod to GB, Scottish pancakes and drop scones. It was the crepes that drew us in and they were delicious, and served by cheery staff. I would say if you wanted a quick lunch this is not the place because although there were not a lot of people in either the outside seating or inside it took an age for our meal to arrive (although the drinks arrived very promptly). While you are waiting you could take a browse around the extensive wall of wines for sale in the attached shop.

The Spa was very quaint, different to others I have been but very well thought out. Robes, towels and slippers provided along with a tour of all the facilities. Outdoor sauna and Jacuzzi, plenty of seats to chill in the sunshine. Indoors there were 3 treatment rooms, steam room, salt room and 3 tubs to soak in. Treatments vary: I had a sea salt scrub which lasted 25 mins and later in the day a full body massage which lasted 50 mins. All very relaxing. Included in the £109 price was a 2 course meal in the restaurant. Delicious, well prepared and presented food. The staff were exceptionally helpful and pleasant, nothing was too much trouble, which made the whole experience a delight. I really can't fault my experience and will be returning.
