Meadowbank — Hotel in Great Britain

We've been guests at Meadowbank for the past week, and had an absolutely wonderful stay. Perfectly located right on the edge of Ambleside, and backing onto open countryside, its only a couple of minutes walk to all the shops, cafés and restaurants, and also makes a great base for some amazing walks around the local hills and fells - and plenty of free onsite parking meant we could forget about the car and just go explore. Our room was quite small, but ideal for just the 2 of us, with a very comfortable bed, plenty of storage space and lovely views from our window. Tea and coffee is supplied, and it's got all the power points you could need. It's not pristine, but we wouldn't expect it to be - it's an old house full of character and wonderful old features, like the beautiful ceiling in the breakfast room - but it is spotlessly clean and well maintained, and they've taken the social distancing and sanitising measures very seriously. Breakfast was lovely every morning - plenty to eat, very tasty, and a perfect start for whatever we had planned for the day, and our host was always very friendly and helpful too, with good information about the local area - where to go, best walks, best places to park, etc. Overall, it's been a lovely place to stay, and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone.

I booked a stay at Meadowbank before COVID, and the stay subsequently could not happen due to restrictions.|| I contacted the guesthouse after COViD to make a booking and did not receive a reply. Therefore I made a booking elsewhere in Ambleside.||On the day of my visit to Ambleside I received a text from Meadowbank asking where I was? I informed Meadowbank I had booked elsewhere.

I had not received a confirmation and informed Meadowbank of this ||Meadowbank informed me they were treating the booking as a no show. I asked for a compromise due to the situation, however my request was ignored and the guesthouse kept my payment. Very disappointed that they made no offer, such as half a refund...

My husband and I love visiting the Lake district and walking the wainwrights. We usually stay in Keswick but was staying in Ambleside for the Lakeland trails trail race. Meadowbank was in a charming location but very near the centre (5 minute walk) It has enough parking for all the rooms. we had a lovely large room that overlooked a field of sheep. The room was comfortable and very quiet. The bed was more comfy than our own. The breakfasts were amazing and one morning I had a homemade chocolate and banana muffin that was absolutely lovely and fresh from oven. Cannot fault anything and the owner was very friendly and was very knowledgeable of the area. We will definitely be coming back when we are walking fells near Ambleside. We will also be back again next year for the...
