About Waterwheel Guesthouse

A cooked breakfast sets guests up at Waterwheel Guesthouse before a day out in the Cumbrian countryside, and with pubs, bars and restaurants nearby on Bridge Street, evenings are just as easy to sort out. This is a straightforward guesthouse rather than a grand hotel, and it suits travellers who want a comfortable base without fuss.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and free WiFi, and there's luggage storage and a 24 hour reception for those arriving early or leaving late. Free on-site parking takes the stress out of driving in and out of Ambleside, a town that can get busy with visitors.

The surrounding area is built for walking and cycling, with routes leading straight out into the fells and lakes, and fishing and watersports are within reach for anyone wanting to get out on the water. Ambleside itself has plenty of entertainment on top of its dining options, making Waterwheel Guesthouse a convenient spot to come back to after a day exploring.
