Smallwood House Hotel
Smallwood House Hotel takes pride in offering quality service in a friendly environment. This 4 star, pet friendly guest house is right in the centre of Ambleside. With our private car park you are able to leave your car safely and enjoy the scenery on foot or bicycle.

All of our 12 rooms are en-suite, with under-floor heating and are fully tiled. All rooms are decorated and furnished to a high standard.

Family rooms are available and groups can also be accommodated in twin and triple rooms.

Our two single rooms are great favourites. The morning sun fills the room with a warm glow and helps you start the day with a sunny warm feeling. The view of Wansfell, gives you the incentive to pull on your boots and get out onto the fells for the day.

The Smallwood Hotel is happy to help with any special requests you may have. Why not treat that someone special to flowers and champagne on arrival? We will be happy to arrange this for you.
