Ambleside Hotels with Bars

Last minute I night stay to celebrate wedding anniversary. Stayed 5 years ago when hotel was part of English Lakes group, it has not changed much since then - some new outside furniture was all I noticed . And this is the reason for 4 not 5! Location, food and staff all great. And this is a great dog friendly hotel in the true sense that dogs can eat and stay with you in bar area and staff actively welcome them - which was one of the reasons for our return visit. Room 30 which is wheelchair accessible - just - (not for someone who is not independent as bath only and shower is fixed head) was ok. Comfy bed, nice view, convenient if you are wheelchair user. But stained carpet, rusty trims and grubby grout and cracked floor tiles in bathroom. Paintwork bashed and carpet creeping out from under door plates. Think room is overpriced for its current state. Would stay again in the hope that issues with the room will be rectified with a refurb/refresh.

The family room booked can sleep three people no problem. The hotel reserved the best room with a small balcony where you can sit on the balcony and have a cup of coffee and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Parking is free, which is perfect.

This hotel is unexpectedly good, especially when compared with another hotel in the Lake District, it highlights the goodness of this hotel! It is large in size, warmly decorated, and has a nice balcony. The location is good, the door is the green area by the lake, and it is also very close to the town center. There is a British fan especially during the morning meal. Definitely recommended!

We're no strangers to the lakes and we are no strangers to staying and visiting The Wateredge Inn. We stayed in July for my dad’s Birthday, it was amazing and such a lovely spot. last week we stayed in Bowness and we had a trip over to see our fave spot! We went for a birthday meal, and I have to say If this had been my first visit I wouldn’t rush back! The large portly man behind the bar was very unfriendly and for many years I can safely say the staff here have been A* however he was drab, snappy and a person who is never wrong! We asked for Cava with my partner being Spanish and his birthday it would have been a nice touch we rudely got snapped at and he said what is it the 80's nobody drinks that! (clearly never been to Spain) I do believe he was trying to be funny but just came across passive aggressive! I said Well who drinks prosecco to come back from his rather abrupt comment his right handman who clearly loved to stick up for buddy snapped and said why do you think we sell it! It was all very silly and unnecessary to attempting to argue with a customer who asked for a drink. The best response would have been ‘Very sorry we don't but we do have prosecco? but we'd rather have a very odd interaction & one which left us a bit off guard. I have left a 3 star rating because the food was fine and usually it’s a very nice place so I’m hoping we just caught the staff on an off day, I will say though it costs very little to smile but makes a big difference!

We have just returned from a 4 day break at the NDGH. We have stayed there a number of times before and had a wonderful time on each occasion. This was no exception. The location is magnificent and the hotel provided everything we needed to make our break exceptional. The food was excellent, the staff were always helpful, and the room was comfortable. Thanks go to Diane and her colleagues. We really appreciated what you did to make our break memorable. See you again soon.

Facilities: Very good Hygiene: clean Environment: Safety Service: Very good Recommended very good place! Don't miss it Hope to have a chance to come again. The location is very good and convenient. There is a parking lot. Comfortable and wonderful experience

Myself and my partner stayed in one of the premium bell tents, we were greeted kindly at reception and given all of the handy information needed! The tent itself was really spacious, bed were super comfy and had plenty spare blankets for the cold (as there was only 2 of us in a 5 person tent). There wasn’t WiFi but the data signal was completely fine and would definitely recommend taking a fully charged laptop with films download or a portable DVD player if wanting that kind of entertainment! There were a group of boys in the text next to us that were pretty loud but it didn’t bother us at all, weren’t causing any bother they were just lads having fun. But definitely something to consider if it’s something that would annoy you! Only thing was that the tent itself had no way of locking it (when camping we would usually padlock our zips but for safety) but that didn’t make us feel any less comfortable again just something to consider if that would bother you! The kitchen and toilet area were left super tidy and there are toilets in the building if you’re not wanting to go outside. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again!
