Serendipity ~ Romantic Hideaway in Ambleside, hotel in Ambleside

Set in Ambleside and only 9.1 km from World of Beatrix Potter, Serendipity ~ Romantic Hideaway in Ambleside offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

Great location high above the town, the views are stunning from the deluxe windows. Parking included which is always a bonus. Well equipped to self cater, and close to the local bars and restaurants. It is a steep path down to town and back up, fine if fit, but not great for those less able. Excellent communication with Dave the owner. Very prompt, honest guy.

    Amazing to me that this place is so inexpensive given it is situated right on the water with prime lake views. The self catering facilities and kitchens were fantastic. The cafe/bar also had great views and was a nice place to relax. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. From our dorm room (my partner and I had it to ourselves due to low season) there was a beautiful view of the lake. 10/10 loved it.
