Very nice rooms quite small building with good sized rooms all with a nice en-suite and a good shower. Very good location near the town centre.
The car park was hard to find but that was all. Did have a problem with the bathroom door getting caught when trying to open but no other issues.

We had a dog friendly room in a bungalow and it was spotless. We were less than a minute walk from the village. Rob was very welcoming and recommended places to eat

Gorgeous cosy room. Perfect for me and my sister to share over our long weekend in the lakes.
The property was amazing but there was little communication between the owner and us following our stay.

Fabulous location, just on the edge of town with easy access to all amenities. We had a warm welcome and the rooms were very clean and well equipped with large windows and lovely views. Beds are comfortable. Compared to others in the area, Ferndale is great value. Really enjoyed our stay thanks.
Just some small details. Not sure if we missed them but better instructions for the car parking would be really helpful. We had 2 rooms, a double and single. The single we had is quite a compact room but perfectly adequate if you're just looking for a base. Some decaf options in the room would be lovely.

Perfect location lovely view, room 6. Nice lady who welcomed us, plates and cutlery available to use in the room. Very clean and very comfortable bed.
Its end of season and they did say it was having a bit of a makeover, cracked bathroom floor tiles, walls marked and a bit damp but it is a 200 year old building

The room was clean and well presented and there were tea/coffee facilities within the room.
I was expecting breakfast to have been included in the price yet it was no, so I felt that the price paid for the room was a bit overpriced which reflects my opinion and also the car park at the back of the hotel is tight for spaces to park various vehicles.
7.0 / 10.0
It was in a fantastic location, with parking on site, clean bright rooms and plenty of tea and coffee, free to help yourself when you needed extra. The lady who checked us in was very friendly and welcoming ( sorry can’t remember your name!)
There was no shower gel provided and the bed was not very comfortable ( but I’m used to a memory foam mattress)

We had an outside room to ourselves . It was really quiet
What I felt was
. The room we were in which usually takes visitors with dogs , we could get this strong smell from the room air freshener which was really very strong and nauseating . We located it and put it in the porch .
If you need to use air freshener it would be nice to have something more soft and fresh .
The property was great , no complaints

Host let us in early and was very through with everything we needed to know about our stay. Room was lovely very clean and a great size. The bed is super comfy and the shower was a dream didnt want to get out of it 😁 the location to the town centre is a 2 minute walk. We would definitely be returning and definitely recommend this accommodation very good value for the money spent 😁
No complaints at all.

Clean & close to the centre
The room was tiny & only room for 1 chair - and no communal sitting room - so there was nowhere to relax during the day, other than on the (small) bed. Not great value at £85 per night in early October, with few facilities. Had to park offsite.

Excellent position, with only a short walk to town centre. Stone-built, Victorian building. Private, free car parking. Friendly reception on arrival. Nice view from rear facing rooms.
Three flights of stairs to second floor room. No breakfast offered (but the listing made no claim otherwise).

Rob was really friendly and welcoming upon arrival. The room was comfortable and clean and the property is well located for central Ambleside and the bus station. Property is also reasonably priced compared to comparable options in Ambleside.
Decor is a tad faded and the room is quite small
