“1869 strikes me as a boutique Ambleside find, where the bustle outside fades away once you're through the door. I picture myself easily settling in after a day on the trails, perhaps with my dog gratefully accepting one of those thoughtful paw-cleaning towels. The word that keeps coming to mind is 'considered'-from the decor to the individual breakfasts.”
