Ambleside Central

Do not stay here if you actually want to sleep. Given the location on the main road, I was expecting some traffic noise but I was not aware of the noise that would come from the pub. A live band ended up playing when we were there so we didn’t get any sleep until well after midnight. The single bed was uncomfortable - you could feel the springs in the mattress. The toilet flush was noisy and randomly went off in the middle of the night even if no one was in the bathroom. The room hadn’t had a thorough clean - I found rubbish from the previous guests in the room. The management was unresponsive - I sent a message before our stay questioning the validity of the parking permit provided as it said it was valid for March. We ended up just parking in a nearby street which was disc controlled which was much closer than the parking provided.

Extremely loud basic room It’s a shame as the room (2) was fine; basic with very small en-suite (needed the tap fixing and the extractor fan before the mould properly sets in, but none issues really!) The actual issue was the noise on a night, it wasn’t that bad on the Friday - there was a live singer which ended at midnight ish. But OMG we thought it would be similar sat night, but after the musician the thumping hard core club music started and went on until 3am. We came away to catch up on sleep and had a lot less than we would with our little ones. Unless you want to join the party avoid!
