The Ambleside Inn

“Wasnt staying in the hotel but visited for food. Staff really friendly and helpful. Looking around for a table as it was very busy and staff found us one quickly and got it cleaned for us. Food service nice and quick and very tasty! Lovely atmosphere, would definitely return when in the area.”

“My husband and I stayed here last week and what a truly wonderful experience! A lovely, atmospheric restaurant with generous portions and competitive prices, clean & cosy rooms and a first rate service standard. From the moment we arrived, Josh looked after us and he could not have done a better job! If you want to turn back the clocks to a time when service standards still mattered, then this is the place to go! Josh was friendly yet professional, attentive but not intrusive and, just generally, nothing was too much trouble for him. A note to The Inn Collection Group ... hang on to this chap; he's a huge asset!”

“Didnt stay here but a group of us booked for dinner. The place has a Euro pub vibe with no real Cumbrian character. The toilets are a hike from the bar similar to a wetherspoons. All clean and tidy otherwise and food arrived quickly and was hot. Meals good quality pub food for a reasonable price. Good selection of drinks at the bar. The young barmen/servers were all friendly and helpful which was excellent. However the older bar manager was sullen and unhelpful and couldnt seem to raise a smile. Serval of us thought the same and he manages to take the ambiance of the place down a notch by himself. I think the management need to look at a bit of retraining.”

“The food was excellent, with a good choice on the menu and generous portions. Everything arrived quickly and was cooked perfectly. The drinks selection was equally impressive, with plenty of local beers and a well-stocked bar. What really made the visit stand out was the staff. Despite being busy, everyone was friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and we were looked after from start to finish.”
