Top Ambleside Pier Hotel Reviews

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff. Great location. Great breakfast. Very nice room."

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."
