Overview
The Gables in Ambleside has easy access to the natural wonders and pretty villages of the Lake District National Park.
The Victorian property is on the edge of parkland a few minutes' walk from the centre of Ambleside, "an attractive little town" which is "a favourite base for hikers" (Lonely Planet).
Lake Windermere is five minutes' drive away and Bowness is 15 minutes' drive from the guesthouse. Coniston Water, offering "a quiet beauty that sets it apart from the more popular destinations" (Rough Guides), is around 25 minutes by car. Bustling Kendal, home to the famous mint cake, is 30 minutes' drive away.
The Gables' 19th-century exterior gives way to a modern interior, which features a guest lounge. Cooked breakfast made from locally sourced ingredients is served in the informal dining room hung with colourful artworks, and further amenities include bike storage and a drying room. Guests get a discount at the property's sister restaurant, and free passes to a nearby health club.

We had a good time at the Gables, the staff very pleasant and helpful. The bedrooms were nice and clean. Breakfast choice was good and well cooked, It might have helped if breakfast started at 8.00am instead of 8.30am.

Car parking was a bit tight and only 8 spaces available.

A very pleasant experience. a very convenient location for sightseeing round the various lakes. Our room was very pleasant, clean and relatively quiet. The breakfast was excellent , very efficiently served. The accommodation has some lovely artistic touches and we felt all in all it was excellent value for money. We would certainly go back if visiting the lakes again
