Check in was easy and speedy. We were informed that there would be live music in the evening but were not informed as to how audible it would be in our room… it finished at 11.27 and we could hear every single line sang which did not mean a relaxing evening for us. The TV signal was really poor so we suggest connecting to the WiFi and streaming. The staff were lovely and helpful but I’m not sure we’d return due to the noise.

Noise
We booked a trip to cross off some Wainwrights, a good nights sleep was essential but not achieved unfortunately due to thin floors meaning you can hear every movement from those above. We complained about the noise and were offered to change rooms but we’d of had to wait about until later in the day and pack everything up so declined, as we were wanting to get off on our day trip. Ambleside is our favourite place - we’ve been many times but won’t stay here again. Breakfast was 10/10.

I liked the location best. It is easy to access and centrally located in town; very walkable. The staff is very attentive and willing to help. Breakfast and other food options are excellent. Parking is not on-site and closest is a paid lot one hundred meters from the inn. Our room was directly above the street and entrance to the inn, so it was a bit noisy. Overall, I recommend Temperance Inn.

Small room, clean enough but not cheap
Room was small but clean enough.
Nice view out the window.
Pricey for the size though.
Breakfast was decent.
