About Rooms at the Apple Pie

Rooms at the Apple Pie puts guests in simple, comfortable en-suite rooms above its own bakery and cafe on Rydal Road, with some rooms warmed by their own fireplace and drinks available on request. It's a casual, unfussy setup housed in a stone building, geared towards travellers who want a proper base in Ambleside rather than a fussy hotel experience.

Downstairs, the restaurant and bar serve breakfast and meals, and there's free WiFi throughout along with 24 hour reception and luggage storage, useful for those arriving early or leaving late after a day on the fells. The atmosphere is relaxed rather than polished, which suits the low-key character of the place.

Ambleside itself is well placed for walking and cycling country, with fishing and watersports also within reach, plus pubs, restaurants and other entertainment nearby for evenings after a day exploring the Lake District.

A lovely suprise when we went in our room to find some ginger bread from the bakery for us which was delicious :) Absolutely loved staying here! The bed was super comfortable and the room was immaculately clean! I only knock off a star as I'd have loved the room to have a mini fridge and the electric car charger to be working. Its in a great spot with multiple pubs and places to eat right next to you and we couldnt here any noise from the pubs even when the football was on. It was a very hot weekend and the rooms had a fan in which was great! We will defo be back again! Thank you 😊

Quite simply an outstanding place to stay in the heart of Ambleside, but more importantly, is their level of customer care. Such professionalism and friendliness. All needs met, along with a delicious full breakfast, free parking and wonderful bakery with vegan options. Wish we could have stayed longer.

False advertisement, Rude and hostile Front desk including the General manager Richard, lack of problem solving skills due to miscommunication from their side! Compassion and flexibility are non existent at this establishment - This is a False advertised child friendly vacation destination that has ruined a good Friday weekend for my 9 year old kid who was so good in school getting his grades up to deserve this anticipated adventure that turned into a disappointment.

Great place to stay. The view from our room was probably the most iconic in town, the old house built over the river. Rates are for room only with 10% discounts in the cafe next door and Apple Pie Shop. Will definitely be going back.
