Customer review

25 June 2007

Liked: Internet was free. You could watch Sky TV in the main area, which basically sucked! The town of Ambleside is quite a posh town, or rather ski town with no comercialization whatsoever, so don't think you can go to a fastfood joint.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
