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.

Main complaint was that our en-suite shower room was so small that anyone of larger stature than ourselves would have found it a problem. That said it was modern, clean and nicely furnished. Perhaps the configuration of the room could have been thought out better!
Breakfast was excellent, and hotel was very well maintained and managed with friendly staff.

When we arrived we were shown to our room that was already occupied by other guests. The lady on reception then showed us to another room that was extremely hot and not suitable. I went down to reception and explained that I couldn’t stay in that room as it was far too hot. The lady on reception very kindly sorted my husband and I another room that was a lot cooler and more comfortable
The location was excellent. All staff were very accommodating.

We had a loud noise during the night that did wake me up quite a bit. Apparently we were next to the boiler room. The staff said they would look into it.
Comfy beds and spacious room. Quite high standard of fixtures and fittings. Nice cosy lounge and good wine. Lovely breakfast in a nice dining area.

We loved our stay, everything was perfect. The hotel is really lovely and the staff are just great, very friendly and professional. They remembered our names when greeting us and the service at check-in, in the lounge and bar and restaurant was first class. The food is amazing too with a great choice and great quality, both at breakfast and dinner. And breakfast is served until midday, meaning if you're a walker (which we're not) then you could take a walk and come back for a hearty breakfast! The room we stayed in is a new one overlooking the lake and really comfortable and sumptuous, The hotel's location is picturesque and just fabulous, with the lake almost on the doorstep. All in all the stay really exceeded our expectations and we'd recommend the Regent to anyone, it really is lovely.
