Positives: Great central location. Presentable, clean (basic) room. Decent breakfast. Negatives: Car park is far too small. Entrance is very narrow. Staff were miserable and unhelpful and at times rude. The young girl who 'dealt' with our check-in had a real attitude. The pub seemed rowdy and unwelcoming - the only bar in Ambleside that had a bouncer on the... More

I visited The Churchill for Lunch on 17th December with my wife. There were two members of staff on duty who did not see us so we sat at a table in the Restaurant. After waiting 10 minutes and not seeing anyone, I went to the bar to place a Lunch order. We were the only ones there and the... More

Our second stay here, and just as enjoyable as the 1st. Yes, car park is tight, but at least it has one! We were on the top floor, so no noise probs for us, and the stairs not too much of a prob for a 50+ year old couple. Good beers in the bar below, had a couple while I... More

We stayed here for a 2 night break in October 2011. When we arrived we got a parking space quite easily, although access was via a narrow steep slope right at the side of the property. This proved a problem when we came back mid afternoon the next day to find the car park was full. It is not possible... More

We booked via the internet for 3 nights and were very pleased. The location is great - right in the centre of Ambleside so all shops, pubs and restaurants are within a 5/10 min walk. Yes, the car park is a bit of a squeeze but if everyone parks within the designated spaces, there are no problems ... at least... More

We booked on the internet and when we arrived the Inn was not at all what we had expected. It is basically a roughish pub with rooms above. Access to the free parking was so narrow we had to put our wing mirrors in and drive very carefully between the buildings. In the car park itself, contrary to the picture... More

as stated car park a bit of a tight squeeze, hotel and rooms very clean, appears no-one in charge but all staff get on with their duty in a friendly manner, main bar can be a bit loud, we were OK as we were on 3rd floor and didn,t suffer any noise.downstairs bar mainly used by the older clients. all...
