The Ambleside Inn

The Ambleside Inn in Ambleside is a pub-inn offering food, drinks and rooms in the heart of the Lake District. Dogs are welcome inside in designated areas, so the whole group can settle in together after a day on the fells, especially when that "quick route" turned into something longer.

Dog-friendly rooms are available when you add your dog at booking, with a fee applied. It's the kind of practical Lake District base that keeps paws and people under the same roof, useful for multi-day trips or wet-weather regroups.

Expect that comforting end-of-day routine: settle in, drink in hand, dog asleep in five minutes under the table. A great choice when you want food, a bed and nobody waiting outside in the Ambleside drizzle.
