Excellent time from check in to leaving, lovely place right in the heart of Ambleside a stones throw from everywhere we needed to be, great bars and restaurants. Breakfast was top notch both days.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Nicely furnished comfortable and clean room and bathroom. Great breakfast. Good location. Staff quietly efficient.
Having stayed here on a number of occasions the staff are consistently friendly. The standard of the rooms and their cleanliness is superb. Easy walking distance into the town centre. Look forward to staying again.
We had yet another lovely stay at this property.
Staff are always pleasant and helpful, lovely breakfasts and the rooms are always immaculate and very comfortable.
Ambleside Townhouse is so conveniently located to shops, restaurants, and hiking trails. The folks are accommodating and friendly; they really went the distance in making our stay comfortable and convenient. My only suggestion would be mini-split a/c units in the rooms - despite the comfortable temperatures, the humidity was uncomfortable at times.
Great location, very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was very good with a variety of foods, we would definitely stay here again!
