5.0 / 10.0
The staff, bar and breakfast were great. Location perfect
The room we were given was far too cramped.
Bathroom was tiny. Could not use the toilet without running the risk of burning yourself on the radiator directly to your left. Had nowhere to put your left leg because the toilet roll holder was there. And when accessing the shower there is a danger of banging heads on the beam..please understand i am 6'3"
We have stayed at the inn on 3 seperate occasions. The 1st 2 were fine but im afraid this last visit has made both me and my partner reconsider staying again. Shame really

The hotel is dog friendly and clean. The two male bar workers were friendly
The first night was good a bit noisy but fine, second night we were sat at a table when the lady came and put a reserved sign on it, basically kicking us off the table. We then were told it’s too late to book a table and long story short couldn’t eat even though we were staying. It was very disappointing. I had my mom with me who has mobility issues, we had to walk to look for another venue that’s dog friendly , which was a challenge.
The breakfast was mediocre at best - didn’t even eat it on the second day .
Tea and coffee were not topped up in the room on the second day either
We’ve stayed before and this was a far cry from previous stays, sadly.

Staff were very helpful and friendly, room was a good size, good choice tea and coffee, check in easy and breakfast excellent. Very dog friendly our dog had a lovely time!! Position in Ambleside great.
Shower was average difficult to control and get good temperature.
There was a smell in the room. we mentioned it to the staff on check out and felt listened to and confident it will be checked out.
Not an issue for us, but no parking.

Breakfast was nice but a little confusing as to where to go and how to order hot food. The location was great.
No parking. Dated interior. Mouldy bathroom. Bunk beds instead of a double as expected. Expensive stay.

Very cheerful festive atmosphere and warm welcome for dog owners. Exceptionally friendly staff. Good Christmas lunch. Very central location in Ambleside.
Generous welcome pack for dog and owner.
Long climb up to room on 2nd floor and no lift. Very heavy doors. Congested layout of breakfast buffet area. No disabled access at all.

The bar had a great atmosphere.
The evening food was not brilliant, the rooms weren’t comfortable, rattling windows, way too hot so one had a decent sleep. Breakfast was a shambles, cold eggs, staff uninterested.

You get what you pay for, it’s good value for money and had a great stay, just obviously don’t expect anything exceptional for what you’re paying!

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier.
We were disappointed in the lunch/ dinner food. Breakfast was top notch.
The Ambleside Inn being part of a chain shared the same menu with many of the other pubs in the group. The food didn’t taste fresh and homemade the way we hoped it would.
