Property was centrally located which was good. Reasonable price for NYE. Staff very friendly and helpful.
The room we were in was very cold. Hearing was turned off at night which left the room freezing overnight until the heating was turned back on in the morning. Although we had electric heater in the room we had to give this to friends next door whose room was even colder than ours. Extra blanket or hot water bottle would have helped.
Parking extremely limited which meant we had to pay to park in long stay car park at £12 per day.

Our second stay at the Gables and this time took our daughter and partner. Accommodation is comfortable and clean and an excellent breakfast. Dietary restrictions are catered for well. It’s also a great location and Rohan and staff are welcoming and friendly.

Great location walking distance into Ambleside. Rohan and his team were very accommodating from the moment we arrived. We could leave the car and even check in early which was a real bonus and very much appreciated.
The room was very clean, nice views, comfortable bed, and lovely breakfast and it was great value for money.

Excellent communication ahead of check-in and easy process on arrival with access to parking.
Breakfast was nicely cooked and presented.
Drying room facility was excellent as our weather was wet
Would rather have had a cooler room and thicker duvet, but that is a personal preference

Loved everything about this place. The hospitality was second to none. Our room was ready earlier than 4pm and we were contacted by the accommodation so able to check in early. Breakfast was amazing (we couldn't eat it all!!!). The room was spotless and the bed very comfortable. It was a short walk from bars and restaurants. We couldn't have asked for more.
The car park could do with being a bit bigger but that didn't look like it was possible. It certainly didn't put us off wanting to return.

There was everything you needed for a walking weekend in the Lakes. Rohan is a delight, welcoming and attentive, the perfect host as were all staff. The location is excellent. The room was basic but had every need, was warm and the bed was very comfy. Breakfast was delicious in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again and look forward to doing so.

The location is the best thing along with the ability to park your car. The breakfast was fantastic, lots of options and quality food cooked to perfection. The staff were lovely and helpful. Great access to and from the property. Very clean and welcoming.
Being at the front of the property the traffic was noisy and kept us awake at night. We had to open the window during the day as the room was on the small side and extremely warm but due to the noise of the traffic we had to close it at night which was a bit of a catch 22. The bathroom was ok but again on the small side with no storage or shelving to house your toiletries. This sad, they are just minor points and we would definitely stay there again but in a room at the back of the building.

Just a personal preference but would have liked breakfast a little later 8-9 was a little early, even an extra half hour would have made a big difference

The Gables is a lovely place to stay. Welcoming and friendly staff. Rohan, the owner, friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean and warm. The bed was comfortable and the ensuite shower was good with plenty of hot water. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. The Gables is an easy walk to the town but in a quietNo location. There is parking which is a bonus for Ambleside, but it is tight. However a free pass for nearby parking is available. Happy to recommend this lovely guest house and would certainly stay there again.
Nothing to say.

Rohan is a darling man...saw us into the Gables early. A ground floor twin. Lovely and clean. Delightful prints, pictures and personal touches all over the room, reception and breakfast room. Lovely girl (who we think was Rohan's daughter) served us our very acceptable breakfast.
Lovely stuff.

The property was very clean and we had a nice view of the park and fells in the background. Jacklin was fabulous. She made us very welcome every morning and would always have a chat with us. The location was great as the guest house is just up the road from the pubs and restaurants.

The only minor matter was that the bathroom was rather small, but it certainly didn’t take away from the comfortable stay.

The location was excellent, staff very helpful we arrived early but could still check into our room which was good The bed was very comfortable and clean towels both days we stayed. Also always able to get a parking space.
I thought the room was very dated and in need of refurbishment. Didn't like the sink in the bedroom with carpet around it and not in the bathroom. The bathroom needed updating, Furniture was very old, tv very small
