Ahhh, man. This place is EPIC. Came for a Sunday roast and honestly. It was the best roast I've EVER had. I'm easily disappointed and hard to please. The beef short rib was melt in your mouth. The roast potatoes, crispy and fluffy in the middle. Greens with leeks just right and the little chopped parsnips and carrots adding just the right amount of sweetness. Cannot recommend enough. Oh, and of course, the service and atmosphere just topped it off.

Lunch on a quiet Thu 10/10/24, served by the very pleasant, friendly Elle. I had the Mixed Grill, upgraded to an 8oz steak. Usually a safe choice, but the gammon and rump steak were a little bit disappointing, this time. I made use of an Ember Inns voucher, which adds up to a great value meal. Dog friendly pub.

Good location. Nice bar / restaurant area with a decent enough beer garden. Free parking with a breakfast each for £204 a room, between two, which is great value. Rooms were fine - basic but comfortable. Staff were great throughout the stay and the breakfast was lovely. We’ve stayed in all the ‘Inn Collection’ hotels in Ambleside and this one is similar to the others. The odd thing here and there could do with a tune up but nothing that would make a stay unenjoyable.

Visited for dinner on a Monday night but still quite busy. Used the app which is great for ordering food and easy to do sat at your table. As vegans they have quite a few options though I wish they served chips with the vegan burger instead of salad! We need chips with a burger so we ordered two sweet potato falafels starters and two rainbow vegan lasagne. The food was very nice, full of flavour and we were impressed with the lasagne, substantial and satisfying. We were too full for desserts the vegan option being caramel cheesecake, I'll miss the starter next time. Have to mention the staff all were brilliant but special mention for Nick, he is a proper character, friendly and funny and never stopped working. Will definitely come back when next in Ambleside.

After checking google maps for somewhere to eat we were Disappointed arrived here at 10:45 doors were open, walked in and no one about. Found a rude staff member who just said closed and walked us back to the door for a busy little town on a Saturday morning id expect them to be open and offering a better welcoming service. When we walked away we could see all staff members laughing and joking sitting around a table.

Was recommend by a friend and I can say I’m glad we took the recommendation. There was four in our party with two dogs who also was made very welcome. There is a section that dogs are not allowed if you don’t like dogs for you to sit in. The food was outstanding both couples had nachos to share and Bar Be Que chicken wings which was absolutely fantastic. Drinks and food come to £54 which we thought was very reasonable compared to how much food we had. The manager was very helpful as two of our party had allergies. Bar staff and the waitress were very polite and a credit to the manager. Overall after a long walk locally this venue was ideal. Comfortable surroundings great atmosphere and very well priced. Will definitely visit again when we come back to the Lake District.

Nothing special. 2 choices of Sunday roast. All the veg was frozen. Including the roast potatoes. Good meat and Yorkshire puddings though. Music on plus a tv in one corner plus you can hear the radio in the kitchen if you sit near it. All unnecessary. Wouldn’t really recommend.

I made an online reservation and needed to amend it to a later date due to a change in work schedule. I did an online amendment and no one got back to me to confirm or deny. I called up and explained and the friendly young lady on the phone informed me that they can amend the booking but I still have to pay the full price. I had missed the free change by 12 hours. Keeping in mind I was moving to a later date and from weekend to weekday, not cancelling, their policy of keeping the full amount is nothing short of disgusting excessive greed. Britain has become a money grabbing place and this is a class example of the kind of practice unnecessarily taking money out of people’s pockets unfairly. Just because it’s policy, doesn’t make it justifiable.
