Stayed for 3 nights with our dog. Food at the pub was nice and we were able to book a table for each night we stayed at the pub for the food. Room was a decent size for what we needed as most the time was spent outside. The room has a bowl for water for the dog, and a towel for them. Tray for boots next to door to put them to stop mud in the room as well. Room cleaned each day and service was great.

Short stay.

Couple of days break in Ambleside. Very relaxing. Ambleside Inn was a great central base to stay. We would recommend and we would stay there again.

I liked the location, which was excellent, right in the centre of Ambleside. There are plenty of shops, especially hillwalking type shops nearby. It is possible to walk to the lake, but for me it was a long walk. There are plenty of buses to go to the lake, to Windermere, or Bowness-on -Windermere. The hotel has a dog-friendly bar, serving nice meals, with nice friendly staff.

It is a lovely Inn right in the heart of Ambleside, staff were very helpful. We enjoyed the stay. The room was ok, however having a fan to make the room bearable was disappointing.
