About Riverside at Ambleside
Riverside at Ambleside occupies a seventeenth-century house at the end of a quiet lane on the outskirts of the town, directly beside the River Rothay, giving it a peaceful setting that feels well removed from the town centre despite being only a ten-minute walk away. The bed and breakfast holds a 4-Star Gold rating along with a Breakfast Award from the AA and VisitEngland, reflecting the consistency of its cooked breakfasts.
Rooms are individually decorated and ensuite, with several overlooking the garden and the river itself, and the quiet lane setting makes it noticeably calmer at night than properties directly on Ambleside's main streets. Guests are within easy walking distance of the town's shops, restaurants and the start of several riverside and fell walks.
Its combination of a genuinely peaceful setting and a short walk into town suits couples and anyone wanting to unwind after a day on the fells without being in the thick of the evening crowds.
