The White Lion by Innkeeper's Collection

Good location and great room

“The White Lion Hotel in Ambleside delivers a fantastic experience, made even better by an outstanding team. GM Victoria sets the standard with her warm, professional leadership, and Tom in the kitchen is incredibly helpful and attentive. Their commitment to great service makes the hotel feel welcoming from the moment you arrive. A brilliant stay thanks to genuinely amazing staff.”

Couldn’t be more central for Ambleside and free parking too. Really good sized room which felt recently updated. Comfortable king size bed, good shower, excellent free WiFi. Friendly staff. Excellent value.

Looks a little tatty from the outside but noted scaffolding bro erected as I left so possible redecorate? Either way do not let that put you off.

Location and staff

Starting to look dated

It was easy to find and close to The Old Stamp House where we had a reservation.

The power went out for a short spell.

Family dinner to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday during our weekend stay in Ambleside. The staff did a wonderful job in managing our large party of 8 adults plus 5 kids. It couldn’t have been easy for them but they never floundered once, served us with a big smile and made sure everything went smoothly. The birthday cake was brought out after dessert as pre-arranged but, to our delight, accompanied with guitar music and a happy birthday song. Thank you for that. It was a lovely gesture and made our evening all the more special and unforgettable. It’s not always easy to find an eating place where you can really relax with children in tow but we did at the White Lion last Saturday night. Special thanks to Lewis and Megan - you really were just lovely and went over and above all expectations.

Perfect location, room was great, very spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Perfect stay for my trip to do some walks around the area, and some pub visits in the area. Cannot fault it, and will be staying again.
