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.

Set in the heart of beautiful Ambleside, this apartment is perfect! It has stunning views of the town and mountains, and we didn't need to move our cars once throughout our stay. It is close to shops, walks and restaurants/cafes/pubs. It was easy to find, lovely and spacious, and stocked with everything you might need.

    A fabulous location, gorgeous buildings, the room was spotless and spacious and had lovely massive windows looking out across the grounds and the lake. We asked for a specific room as it looked the most ideal for us with our dog, having seen the rooms on the website, and they sorted it no problem. Staff were really friendly and in addition to the tea, coffee and fridge we even got a little goodie bag for the pooch. Can't fault this place at all, huge thanks from me, Ben and Rune. We'll definitely come again!
