What a lovely place to stay. We had a very warm and friendly welcome. It was clean and well taken care. Our room had everything we needed. Very helpful with any queries and requests. Lovely breakfast. Brilliant location just a few minutes walk to the town centre.

Great stay at The Gables for a winter break. Room was clean and comfortable. Pleased to find fresh milk available for tea and coffee - nice touch! Glad they had a drying room available for soggy walking attire. Had to check out earlier than planned due to weather but they were really understanding and made a note for consideration at future bookings. We'll be back!

We chose this guest house for the location, which is in an ideal location to get to amenities. I will start with the positives: Large spacious room Plenty of storage room Good location Drying room is you needed it Negatives. Constant messages and emails before you arrive (too many) Slow breakfast service most mornings Cold rooms which was brought up as did another guest Bathroom very cold.- not ideal for winter and we were not aware of this before our stay.

Good to back at this great location for Ambleside town centre and easy access to the Lakes. Very comfy room, great breakfast and very friendly staff. Plenty hot water for long showers after a High Dam swim and drying room for our gear. Great fun!
