The room was big enough, clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any request we had. Absolutely recommended. The location is perfect because the bus stop to Windermere and the city centre was 2 mins away.

We were absolutely stunned to find out that the room service put our hairy coo plush toy to bed when we were away, tucked in nice and cozy, as if it was asleep! :-) This was possibly the nicest and cutest experience with any hotel we've had so far!! Thank you! <3

Rooms at the Apple Pie

Ambleside

Situated in Ambleside, Rooms at the Apple Pie is a recently renovated accommodation, 9.3 km from World of Beatrix Potter and 16 km from Lake Windermere.

The Rooms at the Apple Pie was perfectly located in the centre of Ambleside, an easy walk to all of the shops. Our room was an attic room - the ceiling definitely is a bit low for someone who is tall, but it was a great size and very comfortable, we had a great sleep. There was an honesty bar system for cokes and crisps among other things, but we had both breakfast and lunch (and an apple pie) from the delicious bakery and cafe next door. Highly recommend.

The hosts. The cleanliness. The facilities and how well they are maintained. The location. Everything. Rumpelstiltskin (that would be Matthew) made breakfast a real joy and his wife Lucy had a huge smile when we arrived and left. And yes, we wish we would have stayed another night 😊

The breakfast was very good. The location was excellent, in the town, but it was quiet. It was ideal for hiking, with plenty of choices where to go. In the accommodation itself, the bathroom was good with a decent shower, the bed was comfortable, there was tea and coffee in the room and the host was friendly and helpful. I hope to stay there next year.

We spent a great week In Lingmoor View in Chapel Stile. A lovely place to stay, spacious and quiet with beautiful views on the surrounding hills and peaks. The house is very clean, well kept and very well equipped. It has its own parking area. An excellent location from where you can make all types of walks and trips to e.g. Elterwater, Great Langdale, Grasmere, Ambleside. The only hiccup was that we were given the wrong code to the key safe by the front door when we wanted to enter the house upon arrival.

We had a little bottle of prosecco waiting for us on arrival! The host allowed us to extend our stay and I’m so glad we did, I only wish we could have stayed longer!
