    Ambleside is a lovely place which I have been many of times.

    Ambleside is a lovely place which I have been many of times. It’s more beautiful in the winter months as I feel it’s an escape from living next to the beach. The snow capped mountains, the feel of the cold when you step into somewhere with a fire feels warm and welcoming.

    The cottage was in a good location to visit other parts of the Lake District. Narrow roads but not too busy. We ate in the Cottage in the evening but visited the local pub, just a short walk away, for a pre-dinner drink. We bought some wonderful local bacon from the shop. The Shop was surprisingly well stocked. The Cottage is not in Ambleside which was a good thing as there was a Beer Festival the whole weekend we were there and Town was packed. The Cottage is in a perfect location and great for walkers.

    There’s so much to do in Ambleside, and I think I’ll definitely come again in another season. You can enjoy poetic walks, explore local heritage sites, or even catch a movie or a play. For the sporty ones, there’s hiking, biking, water sports, and even rock climbing. During my stay, there were a few rainy days and even Storm Amy, but none of that changed the beauty of the Lake District. I’ll surely be back — again and again.

    Ambleside is a great base for outdoor activity in the Lake District with good public transport connections, plenty of shops (including specialist gear shops) and restaurants, cafes and pubs. There are also opportunities for visiting National Trust sites, local beauty spots and boat trips on Windermere.

    Ambleside has everything you need for an autumn stay, good restaurants and homely pubs plus available walks in the nearby hills and to Lake Windermere. Good access by boat to Bowness. A good range of hotels, b&b’s and self catering cottages.

    I do like Ambleside area and Log House isn't in the town centre which I prefer, the town centre is almost a mile from Log House but you can get a bus into the centre if needed. Also you can get the boat from Waterhead Pier which is just a short walk from Log House and goes to Bowness and also Lakeside and you can get buses/trains to Keswick and Kendal and lots of other places around the lakes. And Hayes Garden Centre is just minutes away and is one of the largest in the area, lots to see and do and eat in there. As I was there just for one night I just took my own filled rolls and milk and biscuits but if had been a longer stay would have either gone to Hayes Garden Centre for a meal or over the road to Bassa and there are plenty eating places in the area. I like Bowness too and have stayed there for many years and plenty cafes, restaurants and fish and chip shop and ice cream shops and souvenir shops too.

    The location is excellent. The restaurant and bar area are cosy and warm, well decorated and welcoming. Bar prices were reasonable, and the food and choice of food very good. The lady waitress from Spain was fantastic, so friendly, and chatted to everyone. She was so busy. To offer the dog friendly service was brilliant. We returned to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary as this hotel is where we came for our Honeymoon.

    Rothay Manor is a beautifully presented hotel which is perfectly located in Ambleside. It was peaceful and tranquil. Both myself and my partner were made to feel completely at home at Rothay Manor. The hotel will forever be a special place for us as we got engaged on our trip. We will most certainly be returning!
