    good food
    charming ambiance

    It was just a reliable pick for a fleeting trip in Ambleside with value for money. The chicken liver pate with toast was quite nice. Make sure to check for sufficient food portions when ordering.

    great location
    clean room
    friendly staff
    early coffee shutdown

    Had a great time with friends! We enjoyed exploring the lakes and headed to Lytham St Annes for some lovely seaside views. The location was perfect, and the room was clean. Breakfast was really good, and the staff were friendly despite being busy.

    The only downside was the coffee situation. it was a bummer to find out the machine was switched off early, which made it hard to get a cup as we wanted.

    great location
    accommodating staff

    the ambleside inn is in a perfect location, right on the corner of the main road. parking was easy too! the staff were so accommodating, especially in the evenings, allowing us to relax with our drinks after long walks. i loved the unique option to forgo room service for a free drink each night, which is both eco-friendly and great for staff. really good food options too!

    good breakfast
    great atmosphere

    we enjoyed a lovely stay at the ambleside inn. the breakfast was consistently good, and we appreciated being able to have full meals on-site. the atmosphere was lively, and the local cask beers were a great touch. also, hannah stood out with her exceptional service skills, truly making us feel welcomed.

    it was a bit disappointing having to climb three sets of stairs for our room, especially for one in our party with mobility issues.

    Noise issues from the street can be quite disruptive!!! The bathroom facilities could be updated to improve comfort!!! Consider providing additional sockets near the bed for convenience!!!

    The Ambleside Inn is perfectly located in Ambleside, making it easy to explore the Lake District. I loved the spacious family room that came with comfy beds and a stunning view of the fells. Breakfast was fantastic with a good variety, and the friendly staff really made us feel welcome.

    The parking situation is a bit inconvenient.

    decent breakfast
    good location
    small room
    outdated bathroom

    the staff was super kind n supportive even though they were kinda understaffed. breakfast was really good, loved the variety n the cooked options. location is decent too, not too far from car park. really felt they tried their best to make us cosy n comfy. the vibe of the inn is nice, felt at home.

    the check-in was a bit lackluster, felt like they were overwhelmed. the room was smaller than expected n the bathroom could use a bit of updating.

    spacious family room
    varied breakfast options
    understaffed
    limited dinner reservations

    The location right in the heart of Ambleside was perfect for exploring the area. We were pleased with our spacious family room, especially since it had a bunk bed for my daughter which she adored. The breakfast was a highlight with plenty of choices and tasty options. I also appreciated the helpfulness of the staff, who worked hard despite being a bit understaffed at times.

    really liked our stay at the ambleside inn. the central location was perfect, and the staff were super helpful and friendly. our family room was spacious and clean, and my daughter loved the bunk bed. breakfast had a lot of choices and tasted great. the whole place has nice decor and a welcoming vibe.

    only thing is we wished we could've booked a table for dinner before checking in, we missed out on our desired time. also, the parking situation could be better as it wasn't very convenient.

    comfortable stay but could improve cleanliness

    The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive to my needs during my stay. The included breakfast was a highlight, with a variety of hot options that added a nice touch.

    The cleanliness of the room left something to be desired.
