DICTIONARIES are at the ready at an Ambleside hotel in preparation for a Scrabble holiday.

The Scrabble break has been launched at the Rothay Manor Hotel in the wake of a national resurgence of interest in the game.

But bookings started to pour in after the hotel's advertisement appeared next to an on-line version of the game, Scrabulous, on networking site Facebook.
