Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ambleside Manor, a charming and characterful building, is conveniently located within a short 5-minute walk to the town center and popular walking locations like Rydal Cave. Many guests appreciate the nicely decorated lounge and dining area and some enjoyed having breakfast on the covered verandah, while room 4 stood out to guests as being larger than expected, with a seating area and garden view.
the grounds were beautiful. i spotted some shrubs and found it relaxing. the room was a good size and quiet at night.
the breakfast menu was limited. it mainly included porridge or a full breakfast. i also found one of the front desk staff to be unhelpful.
