Had a lovely 3 night stay with our dog. Staff were great, always busy but nothing was too much trouble. Great atmosphere too and everyone was very friendly. Food was good. Hotel right in centre of Ambleside so perfect for restaurants, cafe?s and lovely gift shops. Would definitely come back.

Definitely overpriced at almost £200/night. Although ideally placed in the centre of Ambleside, i'm not sure i would choose the Ambleside in again. The room was quite small and the standard of cleanliness could have been better dust around tea/coffee/kettle area, rust around soap dispenser in bathroom). Tea/coffee not topped up on the Saturday and therefore had to ask for it. However, the bar/restaurant staff were very friendly providing good service and the food was lovely.

Went for meal very busy managed to get a table went to bar to place food order only to be told the food we had chosen was not available more than one choice we then chose the fish and chips which we thought were very overpriced at £18 each turns out they were as the chips had been cooked so many times they had dried out the fish was just full of grease we complained when asked was food ok but nothing was done it was as if they didn?t care I would never eat here again nor reccommend it

I have never had such a shocking meal. The burger was highly processed and did not taste of meat - I could not eat it. The scampi was marginally better. The chips were soggy - not sure when the fat was last changed. Grossly overpriced. Do not eat here. One plus point was that the staff were very friendly and efficient.

No fridges in room, overall quite dirty and dated. Housekeeping very superficial. Safe broken. Plug situation for charging phones also tricky. At dinner time rushed out of the door almost. Sone staff were friendly.

The food in the pub was without a doubt the worst meal we have had. Over priced and under quality. Burger was rubbery and undercooked whilst the lamb was tough and chewy. Even at half the price the quality would not have been acceptable. That said the ambience and the staff were good

We had both our evening meal here after a long day walking as well as an evening stay and breakfast the following morning. The evening meal was lovely, the staff were attentive and friendly. The food very tasty and we couldn?t really fault it. However the stay itself wasn?t great, the room wasn?t clean, the mattresses extremely hard and uncomfortable and a very noisy disturbed stay. However I must give credit to the manager Kayleigh who has since resolved our issues, has been very understanding and offered us a complimentary nights stay in hope of showing us what the hotel standards normally are.

This is the 2nd time we've stayed at the Ambleside Inn and on both occasions its been nothing short of exemplary. From the food, the rooms, the service, the staff and the location, its a fantastic little hotel in the heart of Ambleside Village. We were blown away by the quality and quantity of the food, as well as clean, well appointed rooms. For anyone seeking a central location to explore the central Lakes you can't look much further than this little gem.

We had a lovely stay with delightful breakfast, many things to choose from. Service was perfect. For dinner we didn't go anywhere else, nice meals with fresh greens. It was fantastic. The car was parked in the big carpark nearby, a few minutes walk. When we are in the Lake district we would come again to stay at the Ambleside Inn.

We have been visiting Ambleside for approx 30 years as a couple and 21 years as a family, stayed in the Ambleside inn formally The Queens Hotel with lots of Happy memories. So did not want this to disappoint, Last minute we decided to opt for a Sunday Roast, which did not disappoint, staff are friendly, food was superb, did not disappoint, great value for money thank you

The service received was below par. We walked into the restaurant/bar area and approached the bar and the male who we approached proceeded to pour himself a glass of coke ignore us then went on to serve another customer who arrived later than us. The food was below average. It wouldn?t be out of place in a weatherspoons and for the prices it?s robbery. The burger was tasteless and the fish was tasteless with undercooked batter. Members of the party have been before and this was well below previous visits. The chips were like cardboard and it was like they had been sat there all day and reheated. The place itself is well presented but the food and service let it down.

We only visited for a meal. It was very busy due to it being Easter and obviously alot of families. But that is no excuse for the staff bringing an ordered Burger meal with no actual Burger in the bun. How can the kitchen send a meal out and the waiting staff serve without realising this. The rest if the meals were OK but not brilliant. I will not be bothered if we never revisit.
