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.
Great location, clean, tidy and lovely 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.
Nice place and nice stuff
margaret.partnerJul 03, 2024 Nice breakfast but parking was half a mile walk and £21
pendrell.familyJun 23, 2024 Perfect location
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.
Great location and very clean
Very good but for £209 a night you need parking!! Had to carry cases to and from car park didn't want to loose space!!
Wonderful pub atmosphere. Great staff.
Nice hotel, ideally situated in the heart of Ambleside, nice clean rooms at a good price for the area.
Great stay with friendly staff and comfy rooms. Unfortunately, no parking provided. However, there is spaces outside the hotel which are free to park in out of hours.
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.
Good central location and staff very nice and helpful. Clean room, but a bit small and dated. The room was also too warm, although I'm sure a lot of guests would like that.
Unfortunately no car parking facilities, so parking can be a little expensive being in, The Lakes.
sharon.familyOct 29, 2023 The facilities in the room were very poor, no telephone or remote for the TV.
Bathroom was tiny, you could nearly turn around in there.
The shower was a dribble of water.
There were only 3 staff on when we arrived and the pub was heaving. Staff had a couldn’t care less attitude, especially when I reiterated my earlier email request of a twin room.
There were only 2 staff on at breakfast, again it was very busy, and no one was assisting people on what to do.
Breakfast was poor also.
I feel totally ripped off by this pub, I stayed in a 5* hotel the night before with fantastic staff, amenities and catering for a fraction of what this place charged! They should have been wearing a mask when they took my payment as I felt robbed!
victoria.familySep 19, 2023 Great location, friendly staff, great menu, warm rooms and good as a base for the Lake District
This was a perfect stay for a quick weekend break in Ambleside.
The staff were very friendly and worked very hard to make our stay comfortable. They went out of their way to make our holiday enjoyable.
The Inn is conveniently located in the centre of Ambleside, so you have easy access to shops and restaurants.
