With absolute lake frontage, Ambleside On The Lake is a boutique Edwardian B&B offering 4 star luxury accommodation with the best views in town!

Overlooking the spectacular Lake Daylesford, guests can enjoy panoramic lake and town views. Located on the quiet side of Lake Daylesford, you can enjoy the serenity that a lakeside location offers. Everything is provided for your comfort, along with inconspicuous hosting! Guests are free to come and go as they please.

Built in 1912, Ambleside retains all the old-world charm, yet incorporates modern day comforts like ensuites and air-conditioning!

Offering a total of only 3 guestrooms, all rooms feature period furnishings, QS beds, ensuites, Ipod Docking Clock Radios, air-con, small sofas (deluxe rooms only), tea/coffee making and fridges. One room can also be used as twinshare, or sleep a 3rd adult if required. Our Deluxe rooms now also features a TV/DVD player.

Unfortunately children under 7 are not catered for.

Guests are free to relax in the guest-lounge or enjoy a leisurely drink on the verandah. A small wine list and snacks menu is also available to in-house guests during their stay.

Ambleside is ideally situated on the quiet side of Lake Daylesford and is walking distance to many restaurants, galleries & tourist attractions.

A full cooked, a-la-carte breakfast (each day) is also included in the tariff.

Please note that a 2 night minimum booking applies at weekends and most public holidays, however, single night requests will be taken in the week leading up to your preferred date.

Claude Forell: The Age
"Postwar owners have restored Ambleside's period charms, furnished it in fine period style and added modern conveniences. The present hosts, Frank and Linda Carroll, are relative newcomers but well versed in the art of hospitality. The hosts live in an apartment below. Guests can relax with a cup of tea - or a glass of wine - in the cosy lounge or in the informal sunroom. Ambleside is a place where you can feel like the Lord or the Lady of the Manor and relax accordingly".
