Yha Ambleside - South Lakeland

A visit to Ambleside is not complete without stopping by this restaurant. The bar is fantastic, the menu selection is excellent, the views are breathtaking, and the service is top-notch. We absolutely adore this place.

We have visited this YHA many times to explore the hills surrounding it. It is ideally located with a wonderful view overlooking Lake Windermere. The staff are always friendly and willing to assist, and nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is excellent and the beer is equally good. We can't find any faults with it.

We called in and managed to get a disabled space. We were lucky I think the staff were doing the best they could to move the non disabled drivers. All the staff were helpful and friendly especially the man who took the food order. He apologised that I couldn’t order a pie because it was only mains on the evening menu that was desserts as well. I did manage to find fish and chips on the day menu. The food was well cooked and we enjoyed it. But I’m sure that a mains and dessert menu would go well at lunch time. It’s worth considering. The view is superb and the whole place felt relaxed and friendly. And good service. Just what we needed. Thank you.

This is a perfect spot for good home cooked food, great menu and view to die for. Just watched the sunset with a ringside seat looking over lake Windermere! Lovely staff too

Stopped off for a light lunch whilst kayaking on Windermere. The food was absolutely spot on! Great service too. Highly recommend.
