Top Ambleside Pier Hotel Reviews

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay Great Breakfast."

Rothay Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rothay Manor was a beautiful and idyllic setting for our Lake District journey. The grounds, rooms, food and spaces were absolutely gorgeous, and the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. 10/10 can't wait to return!"

Windermere Rooms at The Wateredge Inn

8/10 Good

"We were a group and took four rooms; two of the four were without problem, and the other two had issues. Overall, however, the trip was great. We had a couple of nights and spent evenings in the bar; the food was disappointing, late, and cold, but the ambience was buzzing. We ate in Ambleside the night after; can recommend the Indian."

Lyndale Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Room very clean, host extremly helpful, very good breakfast, free parking with permit allowing free parking at other carparks around the area."

The Temperance Inn, Ambleside. The Inn Collection Group

Wanslea Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"I've just got back after another wonderful stay at the Wanslea. I was there a year ago for the first time and it was so good I booked the same room (the Arabian room) again this year. Steve and Tina are excellent hosts and their big breakfasts are much appreciated after hiking Helvellyn the day before! Highly recommended."

Ambleside Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"The gentleman on reception was really friendly and helpful. The room was really clean and the breakfast was very good ."

Lakehouse at The Waterhead Inn

"At the fringes of the town, so it’s quieter. There is no lifts at Lakehouse so please ensure you get the ground floor if you have difficulty climbing stairs, especially with big luggage."
