Having read the previous reviews I was somewhat worried about my upcoming stay at the Churchill. I agree that the carparking was a squeeze, but this is the centre of Ambleside, what do you expect. There is no reception area and yes you do have to book into your room at an area at the end of the bar. The... more

I was really worried about staying here after reading the other reviews but I was very pleasantly surprised. The matter on which I agree with the other reviewers is the car park, it isn't very good at all, very difficult to get in and out of. Aside from that though it was great!
