About Stiles of Ambleside
Compston Road sits right in the heart of Ambleside, with the fells rising close by and mountain views from the property itself, putting Stiles of Ambleside within easy reach of the Lake District's walking and cycling routes as well as watersports and fishing nearby.
Rooms are en-suite and adults only, with drinks available in room and free WiFi throughout. The attached cafe does a brisk trade in breakfasts, paninis, and pancakes, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices, and packed lunches can be arranged for a day out on the fells. Prices are reasonable and the team behind the counter keep things moving quickly without losing the relaxed feel of the place.
There's a 24 hour reception, free on-site parking, and a snack bar for when a full meal isn't needed. Pubs, bars, restaurants, and other eateries are all close by in town, making it a straightforward base for exploring Ambleside and the surrounding countryside on foot, by bike, or out on the water.

What guests say
Stayed at Stiles in the band B for a couple of nights in Merlot room and had a lovely time. The room was a good size and well equipped. Complimentary wine and water as well as tea and coffee. The spa bath was wonderful after a long hike. Parking nearby at football club via a permit. Breakfast served in cafe downstairs and you could have anything you wanted. I opted for the Stiles full breakfast with a tumeric chai latte whilst my husband had an American breakfast with a flat white. Both really good. Would recommend

Visited 27th July 2026, Staff were great, super welcoming and sorted out a table for 6 adults and 2 dogs straight away. And they are VERY dog friendly, bringing out treats for the dogs and making friends with them straight away. The food was great, everyone was very happy with what they had. Overall a lovely visit, would easily recommend.

We always try to visit Stiles Coffee Bar whenever we’re in Ambleside, and it never disappoints. The food is delicious (the pancakes are our children's absolute favourite) and the full English is spot on. The staff are always really friendly too and make you feel welcome even when it’s busy, which it normally is! We were lucky enough to get a table on our latest visit during the Christmas lights switch-on day, and it was the perfect cosy stop. The hot chocolates were amazing, and you just can’t beat the warm, relaxed atmosphere in here. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Ambleside. Highly recommend popping in if you're visiting the town.
