Andrew and I stayed in the beautifully appointed Lake View room at Ambleside for 2 nights over the Easter long weekend 2013. We could not have asked for better hosts than Linda and Frank who looked after us like we were VIPs.

Spent a really enjoyable weekend with my daughter at Ambleside. Very welcoming host and Linda & Frank offer an excellent breakfast each day - great choices and different menu each day. The location is peaceful but close to all that Daylesford has to offer and the view across the lake form the back verandah is absolutely gorgeous.

Pleasant enough, and friendly, personal service. For she and I, the garden below was a bit unkempt and unloved, and access via the garden direct to the lakeside path was locked off. No maps or useful local information sheets, even though the visitors centre two minutes drive away is very well stocked with a range of maps etc and other... More

My daughter and I spent a weekend at Ambleside and were very impressed. Linda and Frank are lovely hosts and look after their guests with care. The breakfasts offer great choice and are delicious. We loved the location, a hop, skip and a jump to the lake and second hand book store. We will return!
