The hotel is nestled in the heart of the Lake District, situated over a friendly pub. The rooms are comfortable, but having a shared bathroom can be inconvenient. The service is warm and welcoming, although missing a welcome drink. The location offers a peaceful ambiance in a quiet alley close to the village center. The dining experience is homely with included homemade tofu. The price is decent, but extra value could be added for en suite bathrooms and a welcome drink.

This hotel is an absolute gem, situated in a cozy spot over a friendly pub in the heart of Lake District. The rooms are comfortable, but shared bathrooms might not suit everyone's taste. The service is warm and welcoming, complete with a delightful welcome drink. However, the dining experience may not meet high expectations. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.

Being situated over a friendly pub in Lake District brings a unique charm to the location. Close to all amenities but do expect some noise from downstairs.

The included dining options are satisfactory, but don't expect anything too fancy or exceptional. Typical dishes served but nothing extraordinary.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel situated over a friendly pub. The rooms were cozy with all the usual facilities, but sharing a bathroom was a bit inconvenient. The breakfast served was excellent, although I missed having a welcome drink. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the village, but the atmosphere in the pub below could get a bit lively. The facilities were decent, but nothing extraordinary.

The hotel is situated right in the centre of Ambleside, over a friendly pub, with a good deal of atmosphere. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the breakfast provided is great. However, having a shared bathroom might not be ideal for everyone. The location is really close to the town centre on a quiet street, offering a convenient stay. The service is welcoming, and a complimentary drink adds a nice touch. Overall, a great value for money option with a cozy feel.
