    Food was lovely, separate entrance when you have a dog with you is ideal, and great that he was able to join us in the lounge area for breakfast. Whimsical decor but very clean and functional, exactly what you need when you're planning to head out...

    How friendly the staff were. And nothing was too much trouble.

Neighbourhood information

Ambleside is right in the middle of The Lakes and so perfect for exploring all areas of this beautiful national park from pretty Grasmere 4 miles to the north, to busy and bustling Bowness 4 miles to the south! The bus stop is a 2 minute walk away, and the boats are a 10 minute walk away so you can leave your car in the car park until you go home. Places to visit include Wordsworth's Dove Cottage, Hill Top which was the home of Beatrix Potter, shopping in Grasmere and Hayes Garden World and all the fells you could possibly walk/climb/run to your hearts content.
