Personally managed by the Hewitt family, traditional service, modern comforts and superb food combine to produce the perfect balance between quality and hospitality in this 3-star hotel.

Relax in the heated indoor pool or outside in our flower filled courtyard with a reviving drink, and contemplate the events of the day and the evening menu. Dining is a vital part at The Regent Hotel and the head chef combines fresh local produce with traditional Cumbrian influences into a modern British style. All this is complemented by the extensive wine list.

There is plenty to see and do in and around the Lakes, such as The Beatrix Potter Museum, Cruises on Lake Windermere, shopping in Ambleside and nearby Bowness, and for the ramblers many pleasant walks around the Fells.

The restaurant is designed to create a tranquil setting for a pleasant relaxing meal. There is something to suit all from the vast range of dishes available. The menu changes daily.

The indoor pool (open all year round) is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day spent walking, shopping or sightseeing. The lake is right outside the front door, from which you can catch a boat across to Bowness on Windermere. The shops of Ambleside are a 10 minute stroll away. So why not treat yourself to a break in the beautiful Lake District. Here you are guaranteed an enjoyable stay and relaxation from all the stresses and strains of everyday life.

All 30 rooms at the luxury Regent Hotel are en suite and beautifully appointed with a wide range of accommodation from single rooms to large suites and family rooms.

We have 7 ground floor rooms, 5 of which have walk-in showers.

All our rooms have TVs with DVD players and an extensive library (complimentary of course). Our suites and garden rooms also have mini Hi-Fi systems and jacuzzi baths.

The rooms in the Regent Hotel have a contemporary feel and come in all shapes and sizes. Some are ideal for that romantic hotel weekend, complete with duo baths and showers.

The superior rooms are situated in the main hotel or overlooking the gardens. The Sail Loft in particular is a room with its own quaintness.

Breakfast is served from 08:00 until 12:00.
Dinner is served from 18:30 until 20:00.

Ambleside is right in the heart of the English Lake District, situated at the northern tip of Windermere, England's longest lake. Whilst in Ambleside, why not explore some of the many shops, or visit Bridge House, a National Trust property and probably one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District.

A region made famous by poets such as William Wordsworth, the English Lake District boasts spectacular scenery, which can be enjoyed all year round, and a number of excellent and award-winning tourist attractions, including lake cruises on Windermere from Waterhead Bay.
