Loved by 1869 Hotel guests
"The baskets with towels for the dogs at the entrance was a really clever idea and very helpful."
"There is wonderful big comfortable bed and bedding and lovely deep bath for a hot soak every evening."
"The location is perfect, the parking being a few minutes walk is not a problem at all and the building is so central it's great, right opposite a lovely pub!"
Boasting a sun deck and a golf course, 1869 Hotel Ambleside is located merely a 5-minute walk from the Bridge House. The hotel features Wi-Fi throughout the property and 6 rooms that offer views of the mountain.
Location
Guests may find the Lakeland Pony Trek 4.2 km from this 4-star guest house, and the early Hawkshead Grammar School is 7 km away. A lake district, where the 1869 sits, grants access to cultural attractions like the Rydal Mount, which is a 25-minute walk away.
Guests will also appreciate the vicinity to Borrans Park, located 1.3 km away. There is the Ambleside Roman Fort in proximity to this property.
The White Lion Inn bus stop is 250 metres from the luxurious hotel.
Rooms
An ironing set, along with a kettle, provide in-room convenience at the accommodation. Also, the 1869 Ambleside features carpeted flooring. Guests can make use of hair dryers and bath sheets in private bathrooms with a separate toilet and a shower.
Eat & Drink
Offering British dishes, Churchill's Grill is situated just a few steps from this Ambleside hotel.
“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.”
