Ambleside was our favorite place visited in England. Beautiful place. The hotel is right next to a fabulous church. Lots of places to walk, shop or eat. Staff was so very nice and the included breakfast was extremely good. I recommend this hotel most strongly. Just awesome.

Very friendly staff, great location with parking, very good breakfast. Room was good, although the TV was a little outdated, minor considering the location but notable. Shower was also just a dribble. Otherwise a great stay.

Had a lovely stay in The Gables and would definitely return. Couldn’t say one bad thing about anything, the room was beautiful and so clean, had everything we needed. Our breakfast was also lovely, as were the owners/staff. Couldn’t recommend it anymore!

Very welcoming and friendly; efficient COVID setup which worked well. Really liked the cooked breakfasts and many thanks to the breakfact team for looking after me so well. Good location; <5 minutes walk into Ambleside town centre with lots of restaurants etc, and straight onto Loughrigg Fell via the churchyard and Rothay Park. Only minor quibble is the lack of assigned parking (very small car park, but there are some spaces outside the entrance which are available on a first come first served basis. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall a good experience although the room photo that we saw on VRBO for the price we paid would have been fair, but the room allocated on arrival was tiny in comparison!

They should not have opened as they treated us like lepers, they were so paranoid, we felt so unwelcome!! Breakfast was a cold bacon or sausage roll, left outside your room in a bag, dry no butter, they said they had no sauce either??? Upon leaving, didnt even ask if we had a good stay, as they kept out of the way, im appalled at the way we were treated!!!

Nicely central for the town. A small car park but we had no problem parking. If it was full you would struggle due to the obvious parking restrictions in the town. Both the room and the en-suite were reasonably spacious on the top floor, and very clean. Considering that our room faced the main road it was surprisingly quiet at night. The cooked breakfast was very tasty, with cereals also available, but no fresh fruit on offer. There were various canned type fruits though. Service was 'with a smile' which is always good!

The guesthouse is situated in a sidestreet opposite a recreation ground and near a church, so is quiet compared to the main road nearby which was busy with non-stop traffic due to the Easter holiday when I stayed. I booked a single room but was upgraded to a double-bed room upon arrival. The view from the window was pleasant, overlooking the sidestreet, church and recreation ground. The breakfasts were good on all 4 mornings of my stay, with plenty to choose from. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I was able to park my small car in the car-park, but there was no spare space at all, what with it being busy at Easter.

Perfect location, friendly and attentive individual service without a hint of fuss. Nice rooms - one had a beautiful view. And a cracking breakfast! Short walk up the nearest hill revealed one of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen (but I should probably credit Windermere with that!) This was a working trip to show our film at the lovely nearby cinema but I will be back with my family. Thank you!

I stayed here one night while out running on the fells. The room was clean and everything was cosy and well-maintained. The shower was very nice. The staff were chatty, helpful and friendly. Perfect for me to be comfortable and happy for the night. I would definitely come back. They had a good basic breakfast and even had gluten free options.

We stayed for two nights for a walking break, midweek in May/June.The property is quite centrally located in Ambleside, which is a small place. There was no parking close by but I found a 6pm-10am street parking spot about 100 meters away. Check in was a breeze as we were a bit late and the key was left for us. Room was bright and clean with a good shower/sink en suite room. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was a very good full English with quite a few options for continental including toast, grapefruit, yoghurt etc. The coffee was excellent (I live in the US most of the time and English coffee isnt always great).The Inn is associated with a restaurant close bay (Sheilas) and we had a good meal there on the first night. Ambleside is quite small but has quite a few eating options as well as a few pubs. Second night we had a great meal at Lucys.Overall, highly enjoyable and recommended. We would definitely stay again.

A very comfortable stay in a lovely part of Ambleside with a great breakfast. Only slight quibble was that it was a bit pricy for a B&B although my stay was on a busy week-end.
