We arrived at Cherry Garth very late in the day in September 2008, having been greatly let down by another B&B in Ambleside concerning a confirmed booking which we made months before. We were feeling very jaded and wary when we walked into the reception to see if there were any vacancies but all those feelings vanished very quickly when... more

When our eldest daughter decided to attend university in the lakes, my husband and I looked forward to many weekend breaks, and subsiquent hotel stays in the guise of visiting; and unfortunatly in most places we have been disappointed. That was until, by chance we were recommended the Cherry Garth. The staff are extremely friendly and go out of their... more

The hotel photos provided by the hotel first off are VERY deceptive, they portray a small hotel situated in a pleasant gardens amongst the hills of the Lake District, to a degree this is true, but as you can see from the photos I've added, it is in fact situated right upon the local throughfare, and the gardens don't stretch... more

As on check-out day we were travelling to airport asked for a slightly earlier breakfast at 7:30, which they said was fine. But no breakfast provided... more

A great place to stay in Ambleside - a perfect location, a lovely room with a view, very hospitable owners, super breakfasts - would happily return there again. more
