Fodor's Expert Review Rooms at the Apple Pie

Converted from what were once the offices of Beatrix Potter's solicitor husband, this Ambleside café has branched out into accommodations, with eight simple but stylishly furnished rooms decorated with photos of delights from the café next door. The rooms have comfy beds, wood floors, and views of Bridge House. The handsome old building has been refurbished in contemporary style, complete with docks for digital devices and free Wi-Fi access. And, of course, breakfast is baked fresh next door, where cake is only ever moments away.
