Compston House B & B
4.6/543 Reviews
Stayed at Compston House over the Easter weekend. Megan and John are very welcoming and friendly! Our room was clean, tidy and had everything you needed. We parked using the parking pass in the local car park and had no issues. The breakfast options were great and cooked nicely, not sure what they do to their hash browns but they are unreal! 5 stars just for the hash browns. Recommend going to The Priest Hole for dinner if you are staying here, it’s just up the road and incredible food!
Cragwood Country House Hotel
4.4/567 Reviews
The hotel is located next to Brockhole Pier and has a large garden facing the lake. It is quiet and is a good place for a relaxing holiday. There is a bus stop at the entrance, which is convenient to various places, but the fare is not cheap. The rooms are small and the decoration is upscale. Breakfast is exactly the same every day. There are no commercial outlets nearby. Eating at Ambleside or Bowness. I have tried a Chinese restaurant in Bowness, and the expectations cannot be too high.
YHA Windermere
4.3/558 Reviews
This is easily the best place I've had the pleasure to stay at. Straight away I highly recommend. I chose the camping option which is only £12 a night, there are options for rooms and tipis too for very reasonable prices. The staff have been IMMENSELY accommodating. All of my needs have been met beyond my expectations. The location is good. You're about an 18 minute walk from the nearest bus taking you into the town centre. There is plenty of info here on local walks/hikes. It goes without saying you're in a beautiful location. The view of the lake and the mountains to wake up to is absolutely breathtaking. Even if you stayed here for a while and didn't go on any adventures, even if you stayed at the hostel the whole time, its very much worth your while. Even just for that. Food and drink is available, the food is amazing and is well priced. I want to empathise how amazing the staff are, I've had quite a few enquires and favours to ask of them and they've been immediately brilliant. Kind people with beautiful hearts. You WILL be taken care of with great care. It's a family friendly environment, and is quiet from 10pm till 7am. The guests are very respectful too. I couldn't recommend this place more. 😊
3 Cambridge Villas
4.6/518 Reviews
Andy, brilliant host. A homely property with all you could need with a lovely breakfast, full English and other options available, healthy or not, your choice. Fantastic location close to everything. Two minute dander to town for shops, restaurants and bars etc. We will certainly look to book Cambridge Villas if returning to Ambleside. Very highly recommended by all four of us. Many thanks Andy, we had a fabulous break.
YHA Ambleside
4.3/574 Reviews
We stayed here with our 2 children last year and absolutely loved it. This years stay though may be our last as it seems to have lost a bit of it's ”family” feel... the pool table and table tennis have both been removed. The games in the game room are no longer there, you now have to hire them from reception. Both times when trying to hire games I had to wait for about 10 minutes at reception as no one was there. I overheard some teenagers disappointed that the pool and table tennis had been removed too. Food is lovely as always and location is beautiful. Strange smell coming from one of the bathrooms. We are looking forward to trying an another YHA location next time.
