Find the Cheap Ambleside Hotels

Traditional small English hotel, downstairs is the bar. English breakfast is provided. The house is a wooden structure ➕ later remodeled. The whole hotel is full of paintings and photography about the lake area. The reception is friendly. But note that it is a 20-minute walk from Ambleside.

We had a very comfortable four day stay at Ambleside Lake House. It is set in an elevated position in a beautiful garden, overlooking part of Lake Windemere, just slightly outside the busy centre of Ambleside. Our room overlooking the garden on the first floor was spacious and light. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was of high quality and varied. A thank you to the friendly staff that made us feel welcome.

This hotel is unexpectedly good, especially when compared with another hotel in the Lake District, it highlights the goodness of this hotel! It is large in size, warmly decorated, and has a nice balcony. The location is good, the door is the green area by the lake, and it is also very close to the town center. There is a British fan especially during the morning meal. Definitely recommended!

Facilities: Very good Hygiene: clean Environment: Safety Service: Very good Recommended very good place! Don't miss it Hope to have a chance to come again. The location is very good and convenient. There is a parking lot. Comfortable and wonderful experience

We used to stay here when it was the Regent Hotel, but this has all changed now. The Regent no longer exists , and has been fully converted to bedrooms, with main building being across the road “ The Wateredge Pub” rooms are good. However. …..We had booked in for 3 nights, but had to move on our second day as the electrics in the room were faulty. It was only after we moved that I realised it was one of the rooms where they allow dogs, and I could smell a doggy smell. I wasn’t going to move again - too much hassle. It’s a shame there is no longer a comfortable lounge to sit and read etc. only the pub across the road. Breakfast was fine.( included in our stay ). But the evening meal are very expensive in my opinion. £ 18 for chicken and a corn on the cob……..chips etc cost extra. £17 for a pork chop and sauce .”……..all veg extra at £4:50 per portion for EACH veg. Ridiculous! Staff are very friendly . Would I stay again ? probably not I’m afraid. But it was ok.

Last minute I night stay to celebrate wedding anniversary. Stayed 5 years ago when hotel was part of English Lakes group, it has not changed much since then - some new outside furniture was all I noticed . And this is the reason for 4 not 5! Location, food and staff all great. And this is a great dog friendly hotel in the true sense that dogs can eat and stay with you in bar area and staff actively welcome them - which was one of the reasons for our return visit. Room 30 which is wheelchair accessible - just - (not for someone who is not independent as bath only and shower is fixed head) was ok. Comfy bed, nice view, convenient if you are wheelchair user. But stained carpet, rusty trims and grubby grout and cracked floor tiles in bathroom. Paintwork bashed and carpet creeping out from under door plates. Think room is overpriced for its current state. Would stay again in the hope that issues with the room will be rectified with a refurb/refresh.

Just had a 3 night stay at this lovely hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Our room was right near the entrance which was perfect as we had the dogs with us. Because we had the dogs our breakfast was set up in the lounge, which was so lovely and peaceful. The breakfast was gorgeous. Our room was spotlessly clean as was the whole hotel. Kettle with cups and saucers were in the room with plenty of tea, coffee, milk etc and if you run out you can help yourself from reception. The bedding and towels, all beautiful and white. The bed was so comfortable too. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The hotel is in a lovely setting. The only downside was the weather as it rained everyday more or less whilst we were there. If ever in Ambleside again we would not hesitate to stay there again and would recommend this hotel.

The hotel is on a mountain. From Windermere Railway Station, take 555, turn 516 and take the bus to the terminal. The scenery is picturesque and the air is fresh. The little girl at the front desk is enthusiastic and lively, and there is electric heating in the room, which is so happy for Britain, which often has rainy days. The food is great, the steak is delicious, and you can actually drink Guinness.

Was anxious about staying here after reading the trip advisor reviews but I shouldn’t have been. The room was nice and spacious, clean, centrally located and had an en-suite. No issues checking in or with the parking. As with everything nothing is perfect. The location can be noisy but you have to factor in you’re staying on one of the main streets of a busy town centre so it’s expected. Personally I would stay here again as the noise really wasn’t that much of an issue, it wasn’t enough to wake two young children.

Hillsdale is by far the best B&B (or hotel, for that matter) that I've ever been luck enough to stay in. From the moment I arrived and was greeted by Steve, I knew I was staying somewhere great. The B&B itself is in a fantastic location, right in Ambleside meaning nothing is further than a five minute walk away. The availability of a parking space is a massive bonus as anyone familiar with the Lake District will know, and it's lovely knowing your car is secure on the days you don't need it. The rooms within the Hillsdale are beaautifully decorated, and the breakfasts - wow! You need to stay for a week just to try all the options! Absolutely delicious every morning. As for Steve and Caz, what can I say that hasn't already been said? You just couldn't meet two friendlier, funnier and nicer people. Nothing at all was a problem for them, they're so easy to talk to, and their knowledge of the area and suggestions for restaurants, places of interest etc were all spot on. I can totally understand why so many reviews include people saying they can't wait to get back, and I'm now one of them. Top tips - Definitely book your restaurants in advance if looking to eat in Ambleside. Every night I saw people trying to book there and then only to find out the place had been booked up for weeks. Also, take advantage of the £2 bus fare through to Keswick or Grasmere as it saves the nightmare (and cost) of trying to find a parking space.
