Absolutely lovely stay at this hotel - staff attentive and incredibly friendly, made us feel welcome and helped with all requests! Great spot right in the centre of Ambleside but still quiet, and nice view from our balcony over the village and the fells in the background.

Breakfast is amazing, with a-la-carte eggs, and buffet with yogurt parfaits, breads, and other snacks. Beautiful dining room. On-site parking is an authentic local experience, but much appreciated. Staff were really wonderful and helpful. After-hours check in was flawless.

    Ambleside itself is a very sweet little town.

    Ambleside itself is a very sweet little town. We stayed in the outskirts which I would definitely recommend as it gets very busy and overwhelming. The streets and paths are quite small and not built for the foot traffic it gets. It's a really nice spot to visit in the evening for some food or a pint after a long day of hiking. We would recommend The Apple Pie Cafe, and the pizzas at Mama Mia were expensive but very good

    The central location is a good starting point for exploring the Lake district. It is compact but has a good variety of shops and eating places. One car park was generally full bur a second car park is available with lots of space especially for larger vehicles.

    Perfect sized town for having adequate facilities but without the crowds of Windemere. Easy to walk just a short way out to spectacular trails and views, good enough choice of restaurants and cafes to fill a week, lovely park for kids, waterside activities within walking distance.

    Well located for Windermere and lots of other destinations because of the good bus routes. It was very clean and the restaurants were very good. Ambleside had plenty going on and it was easy to walk to Lake Windermere and the local park had tennis courts and crazy golf. Shelia’s restaurant and Matthew’s were extremely good so was the fine chocolate shop.

    A lovely picturesque cottage on a cute terrace in the middle of Ambleside with parking right outside. Lots of space for everyone, a bathroom in every room (plus other communal bathrooms). Lovely well tended gardens front and rear with nice furniture. It has a drying room too for avid walkers. There's loads of space for a lot of people to share, and still not be on top of each other.

    It’s very close to Ambleside centre with parking for one car. The kitchen has everything you need and milk, tea and coffee plus dishwasher tabs are very useful. The apartment is very warm with a lovely log burner. Plenty of coat rails and shoe rack for wet walking gear.
