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.

Great location, next to bus stop and amenities but very quiet at night. The room was very cozy with attention to detail. I loved the shoes tray in the room and at the entrance. There is lots of leaflets, maps and tips available to plan your day.

When we arrived and I asked if they had a carpet free room because I had had asthma problems at our previous hotel, they could offer us a beautiful wood-floored room at an extra price, but it was definitely worth it. I loved the multiple kinds of fresh cut-up fruit at breakfast. Breakfast, though not a cooked breakfast, was ample and delicious. The B&B is a few steps from the bus stop where all the buses stop to go all over the Lake District. Staff friendly and helpful.

There was plenty of parking space. The room was rather small, but it was very comfortable. The bathroom was also tiny but functional and with an excellent shower. Good quiet location, close to the village centre.
