What we Offer

Riverside at Ambleside is a beautiful Victorian country house beside the River Rothay, on a quiet lane a short stroll from the lively centre of the village. We welcome you to our relaxed and cheerful home.

Breakfasts are informal, offering a traditional freshly cooked English grill, fruit, croissant, vegetarian alternatives, fruit teas and fresh coffee. We also are licenced and fine wines and beer are available at very reasonable prices.

We have five attractive and comfortable en-suite bedrooms, one with a four-poster bed and two with spa baths. They all have televisions, alarms and tea and coffee making facilities. All rooms have fine views of the river or garden. We also provide drying facilities and secure storage for cycles. For more special occasions, we can also arrange to have champagne, flowers or chocolates in your room when you arrive.

There is ample parking at the Riverside. From the house there is nearby access nearby to Loughrigg Fell, which offers spectacular views of Windermere, Rydal Water, Grasmere and many of the high mountains. Riverside is ideally situated to explore the Lake District; check out our information on Nearby Attractions and walks from Riverside.

Guests are welcome to use our garden and relax in our dining room and lounge, which has a good collection of local maps and guides. The lounge is also perfect for relaxing with views of our garden and the river beyond.
