We booked a trip to cross off some Wainwrights, a good nights sleep was essential but not achieved unfortunately due to thin floors meaning you can hear every movement from those above. We complained about the noise and were offered to change rooms but we’d of had to wait about until later in the day and pack everything up so declined, as we were wanting to get off on our day trip. Ambleside is our favourite place - we’ve been many times but won’t stay here again. Breakfast was 10/10.
Hotel had a great atmosphere. Room very clean and well attired. Staff were excellent, couldn’t do enough for you and so friendly.
Breakfast excellent too.
We had a lovely stay (slight prob with details of beds) but the staff sorted without hesitation and a drink on the house while waiting, great customer service..
I liked the location best. It is easy to access and centrally located in town; very walkable. The staff is very attentive and willing to help. Breakfast and other food options are excellent. Parking is not on-site and closest is a paid lot one hundred meters from the inn. Our room was directly above the street and entrance to the inn, so it was a bit noisy. Overall, I recommend Temperance Inn.
Great place to stay can be a bit pricey at the bar. Breakfast was very good and plenty of it. Central location large outside area at rear could be a bit noisy in summer evenings for those who are staying in the cottage. Staff were brilliant especially Alicia very efficient and always pleasant and smiling. I would definitely return and recommend
Friendly staff, easy check in, great atmosphere in the Temperance inn, varied menu, excellent breakfast choice. Great sized bed and bathroom. Enjoyed our stay, would recommend.
The hotel is in a great location, on the main road and is very convenient to explore Ambleside. Long stay car parking is just around the corner. You checkin at the bar and the rooms are accessed via a guest door from the bar. It’s very convenient. We ate in the bar in the evening and the food was very good. Joe checked us in and his customer service is second to none. A credit to the hotel.
It rained heavily during our stay and unfortunately the drainpipes could not cope. The water cascading down was VERY noisy. It sounded like it was hitting a drum. So much so it woke us both up and we had to download a white noise app to get back to sleep. That was the only thing. I guess normally though you would get a good nights sleep.

Hotel bar was a lovely area, we stayed in a cottage room at the back of the property which was rather noisy from the beer garden. The bedroom was small and steps down to a bathroom which also was cramped and had a musty smell to it. No towels in the room on arrival. Some staff were quite rude and not very helpful. The breakfast waitress next morning was absolutely lovely and extremely helpful. Breakfast was lovely too. Unfortunately not in a rush to go back.
