The B&B was spotlessly clean. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful in recommending nearby walks and even upgrading our room on arrival. We will definitely stay here again when we revisit Ambleside

Great hosts. Well kept property. Beautiful location. Proximity to road means there is a bit of traffic noise but earplugs easily sorted that. Excellent breakfast options. Ask where to park BEFORE arriving as it isn't on the property itself :)

Stayed for 2 nights as we were attending a wedding nearby. We were met by John, the owner, who was very helpful in suggesting raxi firms to use. We were allocated a a room on the top floor which was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and all freshly cooked. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Great B&B in the heart of Ambleside
Really felt at home in this lovely little gem of a place in Ambleside, nothing too much trouble, breakfast was amazing, a very friendly pleasant and polite young couple hosted us. I only stayed one night as one on route to finishing my holiday in another place but was a welcome place to rest my head thank you.
