In the centre of Ambleside, close to all the amenities, The Temperance Inn, Ambleside - The Inn Collection Group has modern, comfortable rooms and a good breakfast. Numerous off-site car parks can be found within a 5-minute walk.

One of the best places I’ve ever stayed in my life! It has all the charm of “rooms above a pub”. The staff are extremely lovely, my room was beautiful (with gorgeous wallpaper and artwork, as well as a small seating area next to the window), the breakfast was generous and delicious, and I enjoyed several evenings with a pint and dinner from the pub. Having an iron and ironing board, as well as a hair-dryer, in the room was a great bonus! And the location is perfect for enjoying all Ambleside has to offer (in the village centre, close to the main bus stop in the village, as well as a supermarket, a laundrette, and all the cute shops and restaurants), as well as a great starting points for many walks/hikes. Oh and having dogs around made everyone smiley all the time!
