The Rooms at the Apple Pie was perfectly located in the centre of Ambleside, an easy walk to all of the shops. Our room was an attic room - the ceiling definitely is a bit low for someone who is tall, but it was a great size and very comfortable, we had a great sleep. There was an honesty bar system for cokes and crisps among other things, but we had both breakfast and lunch (and an apple pie) from the delicious bakery and cafe next door. Highly recommend.

The hosts. The cleanliness. The facilities and how well they are maintained. The location. Everything. Rumpelstiltskin (that would be Matthew) made breakfast a real joy and his wife Lucy had a huge smile when we arrived and left. And yes, we wish we would have stayed another night 😊

The breakfast was very good. The location was excellent, in the town, but it was quiet. It was ideal for hiking, with plenty of choices where to go. In the accommodation itself, the bathroom was good with a decent shower, the bed was comfortable, there was tea and coffee in the room and the host was friendly and helpful. I hope to stay there next year.

Very convenient location, next to restaurants and town center, but also very near the lake. Our room was very suitable to our family of 4. They also have parking space and this is a big advantage if you are coming by car. It is not so easy to find places to park in the street during weekends and high season. The breakfast was amazing, with all kind of fruits and pastries. Service was excellent and their recommendations for activities in the area were very useful.
