Loved by The Ambleside Inn - The Inn Collection Group guests
"Great dog friendly hotel."
"The room has a bowl for water for the dog, and a towel for them."
"The Inn is right in town centre so located close to all amenities."
Located right in the centre of the lake district of Ambleside, the smoke-free The Ambleside Inn - The Inn Collection Group is around a 5-minute walk from the Bridge House. Highlights at this 3-star inn include an à la carte restaurant, a lounge bar and Wi-Fi in public areas.
Location
The Rydal Mount is 2.3 km away, and the neo-gothic 1800s Wray Castle is 3.5 km from the hotel. Inn - The Inn Collection Group is also a short way from such natural sights as the wooded Stock Ghyll Force Waterfall.
Guests might as well enjoy proximity to University of Cumbria Park, situated approximately 10 minutes' drive away. You can easily find Loughrigg Fell 3.1 km from this accommodation.

Rooms
There are 17 rooms equipped with an iron with ironing board along with modern facilities including a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. The rooms also have carpeted flooring. Bathrooms inlude a separate toilet and a shower, and such fine comforts as hairdryers and bath sheets.
Eat & Drink
The restaurant at this Ambleside hotel serves international cuisine. Guests may find the restaurant Doi Intanon Thai Restaurant fairly close to The Ambleside Inn - The Inn Collection Group.
“From what I've gathered, this inn has a distinct character, blending a heritage feel with updated comforts, and it stands out for its dog-friendly atmosphere, extending even to treats and water bowls. The central location means that attractions like Lake Windermere are within easy reach, while the menu, emphasizing local ingredients, seems like a real draw; in my view, it's a solid base for exploring the area, especially if you're travelling with a four-legged companion.”

the attached pub was convenient. i enjoyed decent food and pints there. the room offered ample space. it was a comfortable stay overall.
the stairs were challenging with luggage. no elevator was available so carrying bags to upper floors was difficult. this made arrival and departure a bit tiring.

mediocre stay, some issues needing attention
bathroom edgingduvet hair
The room seemed fine initially. Later i found that the bathroom edging was coming away from the bath panel. I saw toothpaste splashes on the wall. Those were unpleasant. The main problem was the duvet, I found dark hair on it. It really needed more thorough cleaning. i think it affected my overall impression.

I enjoyed the central location. It was close to everything. my room was comfortable and quite clean! breakfast featured high-quality local food, i was charmed. the staff were fabulous. They were friendly and helpful!
I found the rooms were too hot at night, a little discomforting. opening the window wasn't possible because it was stuck. also, the walls seemed thin. I could hear sounds from the rooms nearby, unfortunately.

The breakfast was great with a wide selection of items. The pub downstairs had a very cozy atmosphere and the meals were very good!
The room smelled strongly of disinfectant. The odor lingered. The bathroom was also unpleasant and lacked a hairdryer.

Breakfast had plenty options, I was grateful. The bed was really comfy. Staff was friendly, they even give my dog sausage at breakfast, I was very grateful for the kind service.
Parking not available on site was not good. It added cost to park overnight and I have to carry my bags for a while. I think the room needs a upgrade.
