Bed And Breakfast In Ambleside

Telephone: 015394 32000

Brathay Lodge, Ambleside, is a traditional English Lake District B & B which was originally built as two semi detached properties around 1890 probably to satisfy the demand for guest, B&B, hotel and Pet Friendly accommodation by the Lake District tourist industry which was then in its infancy.

The property has been totally refurbished in a contemporary style B & B which is fairly unique to the area. The brief to the interior design team was to create an informal atmosphere conducive to unwinding with high class guest accommodation to a high quality hotel / B & B standard.

We, like most guests, believe that this is what has been created - a very different bed and breakfast, an extremely pleasant warm and friendly place where you can enjoy banter with the family and staff or have peace and quiet - whatever you require.

More Information About Ambleside

Ambleside is a town in Cumbria, in north-west England. It is situated at the head of Windermere, England's largest lake. The town is within the Lake District National Park. Before 1974, it was in Westmorland.

Background

The name came from Old Norse Á-mel-sǽtr = "river — sandbank — summer pasture".

Steamers (in reality diesel-powered ferries) run to Bowness-on-Windermere and Lakeside offering fine views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Ambleside is a base for hiking, mountaineering and mountain biking. It has a selection of shops, hotels, guesthouses, pubs and restaurants.

To the south of Ambleside is the Roman fort of Galava, dating from AD79.^[1]

The Armitt Library and Museum provides a source of local history with a collection which represents many of the local artists and writers of the past.

In 1650 the town was granted a charter to hold a market and later, in the reign of James II, another charter was granted for the town to collect tolls.^[2]

On the west, Loughrigg Fell rises above the town; to the north are Red Screes and the hills of the Fairfield group; to the east is Wansfell.

Ambleside is administered by South Lakeland district council and forms part of the Lakes civil parish but from 1894 to 1935 it was a separate urban district council.

Ambleside is also home to the headquarters of Brathay exploration group, a youth charity based just beyond Clappersgate on the road to Hawkshead.

Pubs

Ambleside has a relatively large number of pubs for its size with some ten pubs and bars within a quarter of a mile radius. The high number of drinking establishments is maintained by both the tourist industry, so essential to the town, as well as the student population associated with St Martin's College (formerly Charlotte Mason College).

Outdoor Shops

In 1959 Frank Davies opened The Climbers Shop - the first outdoor shop in Ambleside. Walking and climbing now form an important part of the local economy and lifestyle of the local people in the area. Ambleside is also home to Gaynor Sports, the UK's largest independent outdoor equipment store. It houses 5 departments over 3 floors. Gaynor sports also sponsor the Langdale and Ambleside mountain rescue team.
