"With a great atmosphere and equally excellent food, The Lily Bar on Lake Road is one of Ambleside’s newest pubs. It boasts modern décor that generally attracts a younger group and hosts regular classic pub entertainment including weekly quizzes, open mic nights, live bands, and even a ‘pitcher night’."
"Located in the heart of Lake District, The Apple Pie is an independent, family run, cafe and bakery serving fresh and quality products everyday to regular visitors, passing tourists and loyal locals. Dog friendly in certain areas of the cafe. Email: info@applepieambleside.co.uk"
"For a quick lunch stop, you won't go far wrong at this friendly little caff, which serves stuffed sandwiches, hot pies, baked spuds and yummy cakes (the apple pie is a local legend). Everything is available..."
"This is a spit-and-sawdust pub that claims to be the oldest drinking den in town. It’s owned by Jenning’s Brewery, so you can sup on a pint of Cumberland or Sneck Lifter while you make pals with the locals."
"This family-run fine dining restaurant is ideal if you're looking for somewhere extra special. It holds an AA rosette for food quality and has loads to offer. Down in the bar, you can watch the chefs at work, or head up to the sun terrace for a summer evening drink."
"Decent portions, not cheap but worth paying a little extra for an excellent meal. 18/05/2021: This is a must when visiting Bowness!. It was only the 2nd night of opening & the staff were spot on, it felt like the old days!"
"Landscaped gardens, a spa center, and comfortable rooms are part of what makes up the Beech Hill Hotel & Spa. The spa on site here has a heated indoor pool, a sauna, steam room, and an outdoor pool. The hotel restaurant contributes to the feel of luxury and convenience."
"On the top floor of George Fisher, this attic cafe is great for a country lunch and one of the best places to eat in Keswick: try hot rarebit (toasted cheese on toast), mackerel paté or a classic baked spud. The space was once occupied by the Abraham brothers, early pioneers of Lakeland photography."
