Inn Collection begins Lakes rollout

The Inn Collection Group has made its Lake District debut with the opening of a 30-bed pub with rooms in Ambleside.

The opening of The Ambleside Inn on Monday December 2nd follows a multi-million pound renovation of the 300-year-old Lakeland building marks the North East operator’s first Lake District venue.

The group has further plans to expand its portfolio in the Lake District, with a second Lake District acquisition The Coniston Inn in Coniston set to open in Spring 2020, while two further Lake District venues are being finalising.

The Inn Collection Group’s managing director Sean Donkin said: “It has long-been a vision for the company to operate in the Lakes. The opening of The Ambleside Inn in one of the best addresses in the Lake District marks the end of a long chapter searching for the right unit in a winning location to add to our estate. The Ambleside Inn has been well worth that wait. We’re looking forward to customers in the Lake District enjoying everything that makes The Inn Collection Group pubs superb places to eat, drink, sleep and explore from.”
