Red Lion Inn  

In the heart of Ambleside, Red Lion Inn is a compact lakeside base a short drive from Lake Windermere and Coniston Water. Ullswater and Cartmel Racecourse sit roughly 14–15 miles out, and Grizedale Forest is nearby for easy outdoor days.

This small inn offers eight guestrooms with simple comforts like in-room electric kettles and daily housekeeping. Expect a cozy, intimate vibe and a front desk staffed during limited hours.

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge, free parking for guests, luggage laundry service, and complimentary wireless internet across the property—wake up to fresh Lakeland mornings and head straight out for hikes or lake runs.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected while you work on the go; the relaxed scale suits light business stays rather than large meetings.

The inn’s restaurant serves satisfying meals with local flavours, while the bar/lounge is ready for casual drinks after a day exploring the Lakes.
