I liked the location, which was excellent, right in the centre of Ambleside. There are plenty of shops, especially hillwalking type shops nearby. It is possible to walk to the lake, but for me it was a long walk. There are plenty of buses to go to the lake, to Windermere, or Bowness-on -Windermere. The hotel has a dog-friendly bar, serving nice meals, with nice friendly staff.

As much as this was excellent … we did have a panic when we arrived and our room had been allocated to another family! The first member of staff was bewildered and even when showing our confirmation could not find us and seems not to believe us then the colleague found the problem and resolved it.

Good central hotel

The hotel is in a very central location in the middle of Ambleside however there is no on site parking available. My room was clean and comfortable. I found it difficult to sleep though as the room was really warm and there was a lot of traffic noise early in the morning. Breakfast was very tasty with a good choice and the staff were friendly.

Short stay.

Couple of days break in Ambleside. Very relaxing. Ambleside Inn was a great central base to stay. We would recommend and we would stay there again.

I had a wonderful night’s sleep at the Ambleside Inn. Bed very comfortable, facilities in the room all I could have needed. The staff are helpful and friendly. Parking is a 5 minute walk away so if you have lots of luggage, worth dropping it at the Inn before parking at the Rydal car park (£8.80/night).

Lovely Pet-Friendly Inn Nice renovated rooms No parking. Paid council park down the road. We had a pizza down the street but had a few beers in the pub which was dog-friendly.
