Top Ambleside Pier Hotel Reviews

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, delicious breakfast and friendly staff. Parking really well situated too"

The Temperance Inn, Ambleside. The Inn Collection Group

8/10 Good

"Decent place to stay and good value for money so would recommend. No car parking which is made clear so no argument with that, however it’s worth being aware that Ambleside is busy so I ended up parking some distance away. Only negative would be the 8am breakfast time, as it was too late, so had to miss out both days. Annoyingly, the Ambleside in which is 100m away and owned by the same group is 7.30am which would have worked. Overall a decent place though"

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"We had room 310 it where there are some sort of blowers air con also a fire door is left open and the staff use it come come in and out but the hotel is a great place to stop apart from this"

Lakehouse at The Waterhead Inn

8/10 Good

"At the fringes of the town, so it’s quieter. There is no lifts at Lakehouse so please ensure you get the ground floor if you have difficulty climbing stairs, especially with big luggage."

Windermere Rooms at The Wateredge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Sarah was amazing at multitasking. Superb service. Very spacious rooms. So clean and well maintained. Breakfast included. Dog friendly. Great views."

Lyndale Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 2 nights with our 2 spaniels. Immediately made to feel really welcome on check in. Lots of information given, even where to take the dogs for a early morning toilet stop. Parking permit given for the duration of our stay, no extra charges for the dogs 🐕👍. The room was spotless, lots of storage space for clothes. The b&b is decorated very tastefully with small little quirky bits around the place. Breakfast was so good, all quality ingredients and cooked perfectly. Definitely set you up for a good days walking. A nice steady 10 min walk into the centre, would recommend and hopefully return on our next short break to Ambleside."
