Couldn’t say one bad thing about anything, the room was beautiful and so clean, had everything we needed. Our breakfast was also lovely, as were the owners/staff. Couldn’t recommend it anymore! ##### Jack Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 18 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Short but friendly and comfortable stay Very welcoming and friendly; efficient COVID setup which worked well. Really liked the cooked breakfasts and many thanks to the breakfact team for looking after me so well. Good location; <5 minutes walk into Ambleside town centre with lots of restaurants etc, and straight onto Loughrigg Fell via the churchyard and Rothay Park. Only minor quibble is the lack of assigned parking (very small car park, but there are some spaces outside the entrance which are available on a first come first served basis. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul R. 31 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Pleasant Stay, Glad to get away. Overall a good experience although the room photo that we saw on VRBO for the price we paid would have been fair, but the room allocated on arrival was tiny in comparison! ##### Paul R. Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Edward 27 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Disappointed!! They should not have opened as they treated us like lepers, they were so paranoid, we felt so unwelcome!! Breakfast was a cold bacon or sausage roll, left outside your room in a bag, dry no butter, they said they had no sauce either??? Upon leaving, didnt even ask if we had a good stay, as they kept out of the way, im appalled at the way we were treated!!! ##### Edward Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very comfortable guest house with friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfasts. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arthur, Ashford, UK. 27 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Service With A Smile. Nicely central for the town. A small car park but we had no problem parking. If it was full you would struggle due to the obvious parking restrictions in the town. Both the room and the en-suite were reasonably spacious on the top floor, and very clean. Considering that our room faced the main road it was surprisingly quiet at night. The cooked breakfast was very tasty, with cereals also available, but no fresh fruit on offer. There were various canned type fruits though. Service was 'with a smile' which is always good! ##### Arthur Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael, Southend-on-Sea, GB 24 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The guesthouse is situated in a sidestreet opposite a recreation ground and near a church, so is quiet compared to the main road nearby which was busy with non-stop traffic due to the Easter holiday when I stayed. I booked a single room but was upgraded to a double-bed room upon arrival. The view from the window was pleasant, overlooking the sidestreet, church and recreation ground. The breakfasts were good on all 4 mornings of my stay, with plenty to choose from. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I was able to park my small car in the car-park, but there was no spare space at all, what with it being busy at Easter. ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcus 23 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ticks all the boxes and more. Perfect location, friendly and attentive individual service without a hint of fuss. Nice rooms - one had a beautiful view. And a cracking breakfast! Short walk up the nearest hill revealed one of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen (but I should probably credit Windermere with that!) This was a working trip to show our film at the lovely nearby cinema but I will be back with my family. Thank you! ##### Marcus Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 18 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort An enjoyable stay at the Gables, close to the town centre, with comfortable rooms and good breakfasts.
