Great location and very comfortable unit
Nothing
Location was perfect all we need
All good to not change
very good location , really clean huge bed lots of nice touches eg bowl and biscuts for our dog Toad , very comfortable and good parking and food
nothing
Excellent location, very close to town centre, very clean, excellent breakfast. Our junior suite had its own parking space which was very useful.
Location near town centre. Breakfast was very good - a great menu, nicely cooked and well presented. Bedroom large and well-equipped. Per friendly. Parking was close to townhouse.
Parking was a bit tight. The room was in the basement and hence a bit noisy from above in the morning.
Breakfast substantial, location excellent
Room was not as quiet as I would have liked
So central. Great rooms. Stunning views. Comfortable beds. Delicious breakfast. Friendly staff
Central location . Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Nice touch clean towels after our walks every day. Clean modern room. Good value for money. Thanks we will be back!
Breakfast was excellent. And serve with a smile and cheerful.
We were hapoy with everything
We had 3 rooms booked for our family for 3 nights. Everything was perfect , the rooms were good, the staff all very friendly. Breakfasts were lovely, and the position of the hotel ideal for getting into town. My wife and I have stayed here a couple of times before, and we will definitely stay here again if we come back to Ambleside. Definitely recommend this place, all the family loved it as well. Thank you for making our stay lovely. From David Hill, Linda Hill, Todd family,and Tyzack family
Nothing
We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was very clean and cosy. The staff were all so lovely and friendly. The breakfast was also very lovely. Great location. Highly recommend this great place to stay
The room we had, the shower was enclosed and we found this quite small.
Excellent all round, nothing to fault and the breakfast was just about perfect
Nothing not to like
Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice. Room was spacious, clean and met our expectations
Lovely attentive staff, clean room that gets replenished everyday, and gorgeous breakfast included
Bed was not the comfiest, and would’ve loved a mini fridge in the room.
Great room for pet friendly
Patio room was excellent, breakfast was excellent, staff were above excellent, parking was a bonus.
Traffic, crowds.
Great location, comfortable beds, lovely breakfast
Bathroom a bit outdated and grouting could have been fresher.
Comfy and clean
Friendly staff, couldn't do enough for you. The breakfast had good quality ingredients. We stayed in a junior suite it was clean and tidy, with good quality linen. This is our second visit to this town house this year. We will continue to go back over the years.
The bathroom was a bit small, no where to put toiletries, a small shelf would have made all of the difference.
The views from the room, the staff and the quality of the breakfast were outstanding.
What left a bad taste in our mouth was that a pipe connecting to the washbasin in the bedroom burst on the first night of the stay but we had to continue to stay in the wet room as there were no spare rooms. We are moved to a much smaller room the next day without a view. What is more aggravating is that the hotel promised a refund of GBP 100 for the inconvenience. Ideally, it should have been atleast one night cost. Importantly, despite an elapse of 3 weeks, neither the hotel nor booking.com has processed the refund. This is unacceptable customer service.
Great location. Very clean, tidy and nicely decorated room. We had everything we needed. Breakfast was great.
The weather was warm and sunny so we needed the windows open at night. We were at the front of the house so the traffic was a little noisy but did settle down as the night went on.
Room is comfortable and the bathroom is really good too. The location is great because it’s close to the centre, while being quite. The breakfast was really good and the staff was very helpful and welcoming. We really enjoyed our time here and recommend it!
My only suggestion would be to add a “lighter” curtain in the ground floor rooms, since the window is just by the street and when we closed the blackout curtains, we lost the sunlight. It wasn’t a big issue, but just a suggestion.
Good location. Good choice of breakfast, quick service, lovely food.
Pillows too hard for me. Having to walk outside to get to dining room.( fine if it's not raining). Security light right outside our bedroom window which lit up the room!. No air con in room.(weather was Hot).
价格性价比高,房间灯光好,设施齐全,环境舒适,服务也很到位,交通很便利
A minute walk to town centre, all rooms modern and up to date, dog welcomed and every breakfast was excellent with top quality food
A fridge in rooms for keeping drinks cold in warm weather
Close to centre of Ambleside
Parking is the only issue
Location, beds, facilities in general, parking, breakfast.
It’s a bed and breakfast. It does both of those things very well. Stayed here multiple times. Nothing to not like.
My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Ambleside Townhouse. From start to finish, everything was lovely and very pleasant. The attendants were welcoming and helpful, and the room was exceptionally clean, cosy and comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely divine, with a huge selection to choose from and something to suit every taste. We genuinely had no complaints throughout our stay. A beautiful place to stay if you’re visiting Ambleside. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would happily return. Highly recommended!
No complaints .
Staff was svery polite. Giod breakfast. Vero nice room
Small bathroom
Room Size: The family room was big enough to comfortably fit all 4 of us. Beds & Noise Level: The beds were comfortable, and the room was quiet at night even though it faced the street. Breakfast & Dietary Options: The breakfast was great, and the staff was very accommodating with providing gluten-free bread and non-dairy milk.
Lack of Amenities: There were no luggage stands provided in the room. Cleanliness Issues: The room could have been cleaner; there were noticeable cobwebs in the corners of both the room and the bathroom. Window Condition: There was black residue in the window frames that appeared to be mold.
Excellent Staff, room was spacious, cleaning everyday
No bathtub, rigid slots for breakfast, no aircon,
Easy check in process and great location
Cleaning wasn't 100% thorough, found hairs ans bits of dirt on the bed
Everything very good, excellent breakfast. Very friendley staff. Very clean.
Nothing
Friendly staff. Large room and comfortable beds. Breakfast was excellent
Location was great so was the breakfast.
We were in the rooms under hotel so a bit of noise from above.
Brilliant location a minute walk away from the centre of Ambleside and near the bus route into Grasmere ..Bowness and Windermere We had a pet friendly room and it was very clean with vinal flooring which was great for dog friendly rooms. Very comfortable bed.
Room was ok. Bathroom very small. No nice coffee or fresh milk Could put a small fridge in maybe? Room was on the front of the building on the ground floor ...No Blinds !!!! Very intrusive and every one can see in unless you close the big curtains and then your in the dark. Its a beautiful building so people do look. Suggest some half way blinds like next door have. I always pick a pet friendly stay but when we arrived a supplement of £30 for my 2 small dogs which I thought was very steep. However you should include this when booking as £129 for the room does not include this £30 charge and then shocks you on arrival. Its a big charge for a small family at least advertise the charge more clearly.
Cozy bed, nice breakfast, modern and nice spacious rooms.
Only negative point is, that the hotel is directly next to a busy road with a lot of cars.
Great location, friendly helpful staff, very dog friendly especially handy how dog friendly rooms have their own entrance so can easily take dog in and out to courtyard area without having to pass through main hotel. Breakfast was gorgeous plenty of options and veggie full English especially nice, thank you for a lovely stay. Would recommend and would stay here again
Some areas in the room could’ve been cleaner, build up of dust I.e on tv remote, also a mini fridge in the room would be a good addition
Goed ontbijt, de locatie op loopafstand van alle restaurants en winkels, vriendelijk personeel
De kamer werd erg heet (het was buiten ook erg warm) en was nauwelijks af te koelen. Alleen een kleine ventilator aanwezig.
Very friendly with very good service
Nothing
Ambleside Townhouse is within perfect walking distance of the main town, close to a lovely string of pubs and restaurants. It also offers dog friendly rooms and a delicious cooked breakfast each morning. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed in the breakfast room, however the staff were more than happy to accommodate us eating on our terrace so that we didn’t have to leave our dog.
Such an amazing property can highly recommend a stay here! we loved having the little terrace bit out the front which is great for when your bringing a pet which we will definetly be doing next time. Breakfast was really tasty and everywhere was lovely and clean. The whole place had a really warm inviting feeling aswell and the location is amazing right in the centre of ambleside.
There was no faults
Ideally placed for access around Ambleside. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast had a good selection and was delicious.
Good location on the edge of town Spotlessly clean Very nice breakfast Walkable distance of some very nice eateries
If you’re a light sleeper you may be disturbed by traffic noise The car park is very tight
Staff unpleasant
Very clean , very comfortable and a good breakfast
Great staff location spot on . Breakfast great and v clean
Bathroom v small and a small fan in the room when it was v hot but very picky comments .
The Fell Rooms were in a great location in the centre of Ambleside. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was also very good.
My room was very spacious and my bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great - I particularly liked the avo toast.
Nothing.
The room was huge and very cool during the heat wave. Although situated on a main road there was no sound from traffic and the bed was very comfortable. We will definitely visit this hotel again.
The down side was the access to the room required a walk down a steep hill that was difficult for my partner due to a sore knee. I could also see this being an issue in the winter months if there was ice on the ground. Not really the hotels fault but worth mentioning for older people or those with mobility issues. They do have rooms through the main reception this might be worth mentioning when booking.
Breakfast was excellent in choice and quality. The room was lovely and kept clean. Staff were very helpful. In the hot weather we had a good fan. We faced the sunshine for a good part of the day so it was put to good use. Close to the bus station and facilities.
We were facing the main road so a bit noisey. The car park was a squeeze but we made hoid use of the buses.
lovely clean and comfortable place to stay.short walk to everything, free car parking
Friendly helpful staff. Clean and spacious room with lovely views.
Nothing
We had a beautiful room with a wonderful view over the hills. Breakfast was superb
Spacious clean room. Very nice breakfast
Car park was difficult
Modern clean facilities. Location great Breakfast was excellent.
People slamming or not closing the door quietly. A note on the door asking guests to close the door quietly and not let it slam would be great.
Cosy, comfortable bed, good breakfast, excellent location and friendly staff. Happy overall and will definitely stay again.
Nothing
Location, size of room, towels
Parking very tight and lots of manoeuvring to get in and out safely without damaging car, check out time too early.
Excellent location, room was larger than expected and staff were very helpful.
Only issue was that the shower didn't drain very well.
Close enough to town shops to walk to. Staff were lovely. Room was super clean and a good size. Breakfast was plentiful. Would stay there again.
As said in previous reviews, the parking was a tad tight but if everyone is sensible it's ok. Huge 4x4s should go 50 metres up the road to public parking.
La vista desde la habitación era excelente. Respecto ala ubicación muy buena.
Beautiful room and shower room lovely breakfast and friendly staff.
No air conditioning
Friendly welcoming staff , clean room and lovely breakfast
The location was just perfect and the rooms were exceptionally comfortable.
The lady who checked us in was a little stern faced (multi-coloured hair)
Central, clean. well run with a great breakfast!
Very nice room. Lots of lighting. Good mirrors. Plenty of space. Excellent location for access to town centre. Private parking space. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast.
Shower was quite difficult to get into as small door with limited opening. Weather was very hot and lack of a/c was an issue as room was very warm.
Breakfast was fantastic and modifications were offered to my children as they are fussy eaters.
I would have liked a family room for us all but these were not available when I booked. The price of 2 rooms was possibly more than i was expecting.
The room was very comfy, with a lovely view. Staff very nice and friendly. Breakfast excellent
The shower was a bit too small.
Good value for overnight stay.
Parking is limited and very tight area wise.
It’s in a nice location, and with free parking. We had a good sized family room, with comfortable beds.
Some of the fittings (especially in the bathroom) were a little dates, although they were functional
Great Location, tasty breakfast, friendly staff.
Bathroom was very small, and didn’t have enough hanging space or hooks. There was no shampoo nor conditioner provided - not great given how expensive the room was. Weather was pretty hot - shame we didn’t have a table fan in the room.
The welcome when we arrived was very welcoming . Room size was adequate I would’ve liked to have been able to open the window a little bit more as it was hot. There were good tea making facilities for making tea. The room was quiet
What could’ve been better was the supply of hand, washes, face washes and tissues. The little green cosmetic jars looked all the same. I had to put my glasses on to work out which was which this is a common problem these days as we are getting older and needing glasses, a little bit of differentiation for instance, a different colour would be helpful. The parking was difficult because parking places weren’t allocated, and at times, there was no parking space at all, possibly could be better managed,although that would not work with people with big cars
Everything was pretty much perfect from the moment we arrived. We had our own private parking spot reserved. The check-in was smooth and effortless. The room was spacious, cosy and had everything we needed. The location of the hotel is perfect. Walkable distance to the town centre, to lake windermere and to go out for a hike. The breakfast was brilliant with a variety of options from a full fry-up to avocado on toast and smaller options such as yoghurt and cereal. It tasted delicious.

Lovely big room for the dog. Nice thought of a water bowl and dog biscuits provided. Very spacious and would highly recommend. Great location
Parking a little tight
Friendly staff who were very helpful . Good location.
Excellent choices for breakfast. Our room was on the ground floor with it's own patio great to sit outside in the sun after exploring the lakes Staff pleasant and helpful.
Perhaps a small fridge in our room and shelves in the bathroom.
Mooie ruime kamer. Badkamer was niet groot maar wel schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Ontbijt was heel lekker.
Geen extra wensen
Room was excellent, breakfast was really good and the location was very good for what we had planned to do. Bus stops were opposite one way and just a short walk in the other direction. Shops and food outlets are just a very short walk away, good choice
The car parking is a little tight, some rooms have a dedicated bay but not all. We didn't move our car during our stay but for those that did it was a bit of a lottery as to what parking was free.
Good breakfast and parking
Nothing
our room 17 was the right size and the breakfast was 9/10
staff were a bit miserable
Most things locations very good
A room in the main house
Good location.
I very clearly booked the Townhouse (which I’m familiar with) but was given a room next door in The Fellrooms. This felt like a different hotel in character and I think when booking a distinction should be made.
Nice location, parking was available, breakfast was good, our room was a decent size and well presented.
Nothing, - no problems at all.
The Ambleside Townhouse is conveniently located only a minute's walk from the Ambleside Bus Interchange and a 3-4 minute walk from the town centre. The breakfast is wonderful - not to be missed
The 'suite' booked by me turned out to be a regular room with a passage outside the room where staff lockers(?) were located. That passage could obviously not be treated as being part of the guest room. This was not just disappointing but gave me the feeling of being misled. The wifi was unavailable in the room
Stanza in posizione centrale ma leggermente defilata rispetto ai locali. Pulizia accurata, colazione ricca e molto buona.
La camera da sulla strada (nessun problema con le finestre chiuse, diventa decisamente più rumorosa in estate con traffico e turisti).
Very comfortable beds, good location
Breakfast was fantastic and the room was very clean
We were in the annex so it felt detached from the hotel
Excellent location, excellent staff beautiful building.
Car parking limited
Good location. Comfortable spacious room. Friendly staff.
Car park spaces are tight but you can park on the road in front of the hotel at certain times.
Nice room, nicely decorated
Bed wasn’t the comfiest, but that’s personal preference.
Sengen og putene, helt perfekte. Beliggenheten, størrelsen på rommet og personalet.
Ingenting.
Lovely breakfast - good range and beautifully cooked (scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on sourdough). Good location. Very big bedroom with a comfy bed. All very clean. Nice bathroom but shower over bath.
Walk in shower. Parking is tight but manageable if you get there in good time.
Very well situated in the centre of town, easy walking to pubs and restaurants. Also has great parking facilities and a fantastic breakfast! Good size room with king bed 😀
Within walking distance of Ambleside village with a variety of places to eat and drink and also lake windermere
Parking is quite difficult most of the spaces are quite small
Fantastic location, comfy bed & loved the patio for our dog!!
Needs a little fridge..
We loved the large bedroom with the high ceiling.
