I had a view of highland cattle and rhododendrons- who could want more. Ate dinner the first night and again decided who could want more, so booked the lovely restaurant again the second night. The staff were all friendly and very efficient!

I had a fantastic stay at my landlord's property in the UK. The room was spacious and impeccably clean. Our landlord was incredibly patient and provided us with great assistance, ensuring a wonderful experience during our stay. Overall, it's a great value accommodation, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again when my family visits the UK in the future!

I liked everything about Yewfield Vegetarian Guesthouse. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Derek went the extra mile to accommodate my son at the last minute. The room was lovely and comfortable. The breakfast was fresh, delicious and wholesome. Best dinner I've had in a long time. We could do our own washing which was a bonus I did not expect. There were lovely walks from the front door. Peaceful. An olde worlde establishment which one does not encounter often. We spent 5 nights there. Thank you to all the staff - Linda, Emma, Janka and Magdalena. You were fantastic :)

    There’s so much to do in Ambleside, and I think I’ll definitely come again in another season. You can enjoy poetic walks, explore local heritage sites, or even catch a movie or a play. For the sporty ones, there’s hiking, biking, water sports, and even rock climbing. During my stay, there were a few rainy days and even Storm Amy, but none of that changed the beauty of the Lake District. I’ll surely be back — again and again.

    Ambleside is a great base for outdoor activity in the Lake District with good public transport connections, plenty of shops (including specialist gear shops) and restaurants, cafes and pubs. There are also opportunities for visiting National Trust sites, local beauty spots and boat trips on Windermere.

    Ambleside has everything you need for an autumn stay, good restaurants and homely pubs plus available walks in the nearby hills and to Lake Windermere. Good access by boat to Bowness. A good range of hotels, b&b’s and self catering cottages.

    I do like Ambleside area and Log House isn't in the town...

    I do like Ambleside area and Log House isn't in the town centre which I prefer, the town centre is almost a mile from Log House but you can get a bus into the centre if needed. Also you can get the boat from Waterhead Pier which is just a short walk from Log House and goes to Bowness and also Lakeside and you can get buses/trains to Keswick and Kendal and lots of other places around the lakes. And Hayes Garden Centre is just minutes away and is one of the largest in the area, lots to see and do and eat in there. As I was there just for one night I just took my own filled rolls and milk and biscuits but if had been a longer stay would have either gone to Hayes Garden Centre for a meal or over the road to Bassa and there are plenty eating places in the area. I like Bowness too and have stayed there for many years and plenty cafes, restaurants and fish and chip shop and ice cream shops and souvenir shops too.

    Ambleside itself is a very sweet little town.

    Ambleside itself is a very sweet little town. We stayed in the outskirts which I would definitely recommend as it gets very busy and overwhelming. The streets and paths are quite small and not built for the foot traffic it gets. It's a really nice spot to visit in the evening for some food or a pint after a long day of hiking. We would recommend The Apple Pie Cafe, and the pizzas at Mama Mia were expensive but very good

    The central location is a good starting point for exploring the Lake district. It is compact but has a good variety of shops and eating places. One car park was generally full bur a second car park is available with lots of space especially for larger vehicles.

    The location it’s excellent and perfect for accessing a number of fabulous walks. The staff are all super helpful and friendly. The hotel has a lovely cozy ambiance. The food is very tasty and generous portions are provided with some healthy and vegetarian options available. We just loved our stay. It is also very dog friendly if you have a dog. The bed was very comfortable and the room seemed eco-friendly avoiding single use materials where possible.

    The hotel has been fully refurbished and remodelled since we last stayed here in 2019. It was good before but is great now. The decor and layout downstairs is excellent. Food was excellent quality and good value. Our room was a good size, very well equipped and quiet. The hotel has a great location by the lake and is a 20 minute walk from the centre of Ambleside.
