Book a Workington Cottage

"Room clean, bed comfy, internet fast"

"Had a few days in The Lakes while visiting family in the UK and attending the Oasis concert in London. We could not have been happier with The Ambleside Inn - totally excellent stay. Great location, wonderful staff (thank you) and although no onsite parking there are lots very close to the Inn and the short stay (30 min) drop off is right outside. Highlights: clean and pretty well kept, despite it being super busy (it was July!), with a really good breakfast and a nice cozy bar plus Pub Food in the evenings. Lots of excellent places to eat in town and all very walk-able and of course it's an extremely picturesque town / setting. Everything in the room worked well and we were pleased with the amenities. Be warned: NO ELEVATOR (aka lift). So if you've got a ton of international size cases it's certainly a challenge getting to the higher floors. Would we go back? Yes; very probably. We have stayed elsewhere in Ambleside, and the lakes, several times before, but the location, staff and amenities would probably mean this is the best place we've stayed. Greatly appreciated the welcome and had a really good visit. Thank you."

"Amazing for so many reasons. The staff (family) are so incredibly helpful, friendly and genuine. Each of them went out of their way to make our vacation better. The House itself is incredible and kept immaculately. The location is a little walk out of town so it is peaceful all the time but close enough to walk into town to tour. Views are amazing from the hilltop perch. Lots of parking and short walk to the bus. Breakfast was incredibly good and well organized. Lots of selection for us Vegetarians. Rooms are spacious and have modern bathrooms and a nice coffee bar. Communications with them was easy and quick and helped clarify things before our visit. Don't hesitate to book this perfect vacation experience. Our time spent there was much more than accommodation. "

"Great location. Super facilities and lovely staff."

"We experienced the friendliest welcome. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast options were superb. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here."

"We enjoyed revisiting Hunday. Our last visit was 9 years ago. I was a little disappointed to see Haigh Whisky is no longer served. When we first stayed here, Barry introduced me to Haigh cocktails. We will revisit when the hotel refurbishment is complete. "

"It was an mazing experience l, thank you very much for your hospitality. "
