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.
