Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located facing the famous bridge house with the convenience of onsite parking. The rooms, though small with limited headroom due to low ceilings and beams, are cozy. The service was consistently friendly and helpful, making for a warm welcome. The central location, just a few minutes' stroll from the popular pub The Golden Rule, is superb. However, the dining experience was affected by the late opening time of the nearby Apple Pie. Overall, a fabulous find in a beautiful location.
The hotel is a gem in the heart of Ambleside, offering beautifully decorated rooms with all the essentials for a cozy stay. The friendly service adds a personal touch, although the rooms are on the smaller side. The superb location provides easy access to local attractions, pubs, and picturesque views.
