The Gables Guest House

Comfy beds, clean rooms, lovely staff, decent breakfast, great location, central & overlooking park. Didnt bother us but it is on the road if that bothers you. Would stay again.

Great guesthouse on the edge of Ambleside town centre next to St Mary’s Church and White Platts recreation Ground. Communication from Panch was excellent pre-arrival with accurate instructions for finding them & parking onsite. Panch even carried my heaviest bag up to my room for me. I had a great view towards the south and could watch the weather arriving! Minutes away from the local bus interchange; the Library for maps & local information & close to the rest of the town centre services. A short walk to Bridge House and a gentle stroll down to Waterhead for the Lake Windermere boat trips (20 minutes); or out the other way to Rydal Water(25 minutes). Panch & his team were friendly & welcoming and my room was clean & comfortable and kept topped up with coffee & tea etc. Breakfast was lovely and a chance to chat with other guests and gave a banter with them & staff. You could keep provisions in the small fridge there and get milk for hot drinks. Maps and books were available in the lounge area as well. Truly a home away from home! I’m

After over a year away from Lakeland due to surgery I decided to make my 1st return & after loads of browsing to locate the perfect place for that return The Gables kept popping up so I checked out other reviews & placed a booking. The greeting on arrival was most excellent & the room was proper lush & the bed was really comfy (best night's sleep I've had in any place I've stayed in Lakeland) & the view from the window was tremendous. Now I always think that what helps make a stay anywhere worthwhile is the breakfast & The Gables breakfast was superb.. and the members of The Gables team i had the pleasure of meeting were so friendly. Will I return to The Gables? Most definitely yes

Very nice and lovely place to stay, as we had a very nice comfy room. Almost in the center of the town but on a nice quiet sidestreet. Excellent nice service, nice people. For sure recommendable.

Lovely rooms and view, excellent walking distance to ambleside town and great access to the fells. Great service at breakfast and rooms are serviced daily if you like. Would recommend for solo travellers and anyone else, ambleside is the best.

Lovely hotel in a great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Really enjoyed our stay! The room was clean and comfortable, and the cooked breakfasts were delicious. Convenient location in Ambleside with a short walk to town centre. Great place to stay in Ambleside.
