Loved by guests
"The location was ideal with the bus interchange a two minute walk away and shops and eateries just steps from the front door."
"The English breakfast each morning was very hearty and delicious, filling me with the sustenance I needed before adventuring on one of the nearby hiking trails."
"Good facilities and has a drying room for wet gear."
“The Gables Guest House earns high praise for its central Ambleside location, putting guests steps away from local attractions and Lake District trails. I particularly appreciate the blend of Edwardian charm with modern comforts, alongside a commitment to locally sourced, home-cooked meals. The provision of practical amenities like bike storage and a drying room underscores its appeal for active travelers.”
