About The Gables Guest House

Fourteen en-suite rooms make up The Gables Guest House, an adults-only property tucked just off Church Walk in the centre of Ambleside. It's a straightforward base for anyone wanting to explore the Lake District without the fuss of a large hotel, and free on-site parking is a genuine advantage in a town where space is limited.

Rooms come with drinks available and the usual comforts, while the property itself has a restaurant and bar on site, along with free WiFi, a garden, luggage storage and cycle storage. Breakfast is served for guests each morning, and there's a meeting room for those combining business with a stay in the fells. Being adults-only, it suits couples and groups looking for a quieter stay.

Ambleside itself offers walking and cycling routes on the doorstep, plus fishing and watersports nearby for those wanting to get out on the water. Pubs, restaurants and entertainment are all within easy reach, making it easy to fill evenings after a day on the fells or by the lake.
