Good location, staff were great. Only downside is having to share a table with other guests at breakfast.

Lakehouse at The Waterhead Inn
Lovely property with lake views, interesting walk down to main hotel for meals but do have to be careful crossing the road, main route so quite busy

Fell View
Very pleasant small property. 5 mins walk from central Ambleside. Well equipped and warm. Perhaps a bit small for a family of 4 but great for two people. Nicely decorated with thoughtful touches. Only one parking space but a car park 4 mins walk down the hill. Would recommend.

Lonsdale House Boutique Apartments
Absolutely wonderful stay! The apartment we stayed in was immaculately clean, really well presented with a well equipped kitchen. Bathroom was spotless, the shower was brilliant! Convenient parking opposite and located in the centre. Great place to visit, with lovely shops, bars, cafes and restaurants ...
