Another lovely stay at the crown inn. The rooms are well decorated & have everything you need. The bed is huge & super comfy. Very dog friendly. Can't wait to return. We ate in the restaurant, we had a slight issue with both our mains but that was rectified very quickly. Lovely staff.

A lovely place! Visited on Friday 27th September for lunch before our drive home back to Lancaster. We actually came in once for a drink about a year ago so thought we’d come in and try some food. We got seated in good time and were put on a lovely private sofa table with our 2 small dogs and was given a bowl of water for them. 🐾 2 young-ish men were serving us on this occasion and they were both so professional, polite, hard working and so attentive and the young lady behind the bar was welcoming too as we walked in past the bar. The pub & restaurant area were rather busy and they were all managing it on their own as a team of 3, whilst providing great service - really impressive! We went for 3 small plates for £18 to start with: a little sausage dish, a chicken dish, and halloumi fries and every single plate was delightful and all came really well seasoned and with tasty sticky sauces, we were really happy… as were the dogs🤣 My partner ordered the loaded nachos (the one with blue cheese, jalapeños and a few other toppings) and they were honestly SO good, I’m not usually a nacho person but after trying my partners I can definitely say they are the best I’ve ever had in 26 years - such a good mixture of flavours and the portion size was HUGE! I went for the beef burger with cheese, bacon and bbq beef brisket served with chips and the whole meal was 10/10, absolutely delicious, the nicest burger I’ve had in a while! We’ve been away for a 3 day trip and both said this was the best meal we’ve had the whole time 🌟 Everything was just so lovely and so tasty, the entire menu seemed nice to be fair and so much choice! The bathrooms were clean and the decor was attractive. My partners dad has a business in Kendal so I have no doubt we will be back again. Thank you so much 🍔 🐾 ❤️

Very little lamb- and it was so chewy we got jaw ache and spat it out. Huge chunks of seared (burned but raw) bell pepper swimming in barely spiced tomato sauce. Sort of a failed Indian/Italian fusion. The only thing worse than the food was the service - intrusive and argumentative! It has been bought out since last time …. But this will be the last time we visit!

Sarah welcomed us at the door warmly and guided us to the bar for a pre dinner drink of Lakes Gin & Tonic - delicious. Sarah was very helpful when talking us through the menu making excellent suggestions for the side dishes to accompany our main course. She lead us to an intimate table with a stunning view of Windermere and the hills beyond. As the sunset, Sarah's team served starters of sumptuous squid with chorizo risotto and moreish goats cheese with pear and artichoke. Next, with understated polish, Sarah presented us with our Chateaubriand. Out of this world!!!!! Despite the fact we were pleasantly sated, Sarah tempted us with puddings - Sticky toffee - life changing, Passionfruit cheesecake - divine. All in all, we had a wonderful dinner in a very special restaurant. Thank you very much to Sarah and the team. We will return!

Fantastic pub. Me my husband and our 2 springer spaniels visited at the beginning on November. The food was outstanding proper home made traditional pub food. The staff were friendly and brilliant with our dogs which is a bonus. The pub made us feel very welcome and we visited everyday while we was there. Thank you

Nice day in Ambleside, we were looking for a nice pub for lunch. Saw this pub with board saying ‘beer garden at the rear’. So we walked through the quiet pub, down some fire escape steps, past some bins then found the ‘beer garden’…… No kind of beer garden I’ve ever been in, couple of tables, fake grass, rubbish bins, beer barrels, ash trays (overflowing). My wife had gone the bar on way in, the wonderfully helpful barms said “I’m not doing food outside”. Grumpy as Mr Grumpy. Frankly I wouldn’t have had food sat in the ‘beer garden’. Shambles!

I've loved hitting up Wilfs for breakfast over the years—the food and service are always top-notch! But seriously, those plates are way too small for their epic portions. Unfortunately, I'm now hesitant to go back because of those parking hassles. Just like someone mentioned before, I paid the £3 but got no receipt, and then out of nowhere, I got slapped with a £100 parking fine! No clue why that happened, so I think I’ll be skipping Wilfs for a while to avoid getting scammed again!

Headed in as a group of 9 as other cafes weren't big enough to accommodate (absolutely fine), and we're seated quickly. Everyone had coffee or tea and a scone. Scones were a good size and delicious. Service from the guy with long hair was fantastic.
