Very nice and friendly guest house on the edge of Ambleside village. Good starting point for hikes in the Lake District. Drying room for shoes and clothes. Books, maps and local event information available. Friendly atmosphere. Very tasty breakfast included.

Very comfortable and friendly welcome. Good choice of breakfast menu. Walking distance to shops and restaurant. Lovely local cinema and Italian restaurant nearby a couple of minutes walk. Short drives out and you're in the iconic Lake's countryside. Recommended.

Our room was nice and comfortable. The staff lovely and friendly. Breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked to order. The house was warm and cosy and we felt relaxed in the evening after our long walks, watching TV or reading in our room. The location is superb and even though our room was on the ground floor next to the main road it was quiet. The only negative was the bathroom was freezing cold and could do with an extractor fan as the walls, ceiling and floor got soaking wet after a shower. However the shower was lovely and hot and the bathroom nice and clean. We would definitely stay in this room/ guesthouse again.

A wonderful weekends stay. The room was bright and clean. The host Rohan was incredibly helpful - nothing was too much trouble. And Jacqueline at breakfast was a delight! Great selection for breakfast, fresh milk available at all times, an ice machine and even a drying room. Most of all, the bed was unbelievably comfortable! Parking was also available which was a huge bonus. We will be back!

Beautiful bnb, stayed here twice now and would stay again, perfect single rooms with a bath also which was great after a long walk. Lovely hosts, warm and welcoming, pleasant breakfast, would strongly recommend and perfect for solo travel.

Perfectly placed in the centre of Ambleside, the view over the park made for a perfect setting for breakfast. Breakfast was good & The room was ideal with space & comfy seating & a good shower in the en-suit. The welcome was warm & staff helpful, and they pointed out unexpected extras like the drying room & ice making machine. We hope to return soon & recommend this place.

We have just had a lovely couple of days in Ambleside at The Gables. This was our second visit, and although it has changed ownership, everything was ideal. Great location, lovely breakfast, and spotlessly clean.will definitely return Thank you

Lovely hosts, nice room, room was freezing when we arrived, there was no heating on in room on both nights. Breakfast was poor, overcooked poached egg and bacon was like cardboard. Couple at next table also had issues with heating, apart from that lovely guesthouse in great location.
