One of our top picks in Ambleside.This family-run hotel overlooks Lake Windermere and has free parking, free Wi-Fi and fine food. The shops of Ambleside are a 10-minute stroll away.

Each room at Regent By The Lake has a TV and tea and coffee facilities. Some have a private terrace. Ground-floor rooms are available, some with walk-in showers.

The Table 22 restaurant features a modern British menu and serves fresh, local produce. Hearty Cumberland breakfasts are served until midday. Offers are available throughout the year for diners.

The hotel is in the heart of the Lake District, surrounded by fells and lakes. The edge of Lake Windermere, the largest natural lake in England, is a few minutes’ walk away.

This is our guests' favorite part of Ambleside, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

“Mr Larkman. We found this hotel to be a real gem, & look forward to coming back with our family.”

That giant bed in room 30 was the biggest hotel bed we had ever had, but it was to firm for us, & could do with being more on the softer side.
They cooked exactly what I asked for & just the way I really like t cooked.

“Easter break at The Regent in Ambleside”

- • Superior Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights

Nothing to not like.
The hotel is ideally situated within a stone’s throw of Lake Windermere and a 10-minute walk of the centre of Ambleside, with plenty of free parking. The hotel itself is a pleasure to stay at, with very friendly and professional staff. The restaurant serves an extensive cooked-to-order breakfast and a superb dinner, again with plenty of choice. The bar is well-stocked, serving excellent local beers. We stayed in a brand-new extension at the rear of the hotel, with a great view of the lake and surrounding fells. Our room was well-equipped with a very large double bed. An added attraction at the Regent was the ‘Deck’ an outdoor terrace/ beer garden with its own bar. We will be back without doubt. Thank you The Regent.

Bar closed at 11.30pm we where told we had to go as they where going to put all the lights out seemed a little odd for a hotel. We didn't particularly want any more drinks just seemed strange that we had no choice but to leave the lounge area there where several people in the bar at that time this is the norm apparently. Wouldn't stop us from going back though.
We enjoyed all of it lovely food in the restaurant also the breakfast choice is amazing. Lovely rooms. Nice sitting out area with bar and food available with lovely view of the lake. Would definitely go back.
