very pleasant ambleside pub, off the main road. Interesting mix of locals and visitors and very friendly and helpful barstaff.

Added bonus which isn't mentioned in the pub facilities is that it has free wifi, and a number of powerpoints you can use to charge laptops, phones etc.

No food except crisps and the odd pork pie, but great selection of ales. And a roaring fire. recommended.

This is where the ambleside characters go. We met a man with an eye patch, several people with dogs and then bizarrely, a group of students dressed as golfers. Is this a university town? The beers were unusual - Hanibals Nectar anyone? but all well served.

i paid a few visits to the g`rule the other week and found it to be a good traditional pub,no music,footy on the telly etc.its a great favourite with dog owners and gives off a nice family atmosphere.only downside is the real ale is all robinsons as it is a tied house.i stuck to the black beauty which was a nice pint but i prefer my ale a bit lighter

Proper traditional pub; these days let down by the beer which is mediocre at best. I'm not sure whether Robinsons beer always tasted this bad or whether it's just that the new micros are just so much better at their game.

This was our favourite pub in Ambleside; excellent beers, well kept; free wifi; a covered smoking area; friendly bar staff. In addition, the pub is more spacious than first appearances would suggest, with three seperate rooms in the bar, including a games room.
