“Brilliant stay”
Fantastic little guest house, close to all that Ambleside has to offer but very peaceful as well, really comfortable room with a great shower, took our two small dogs as well they loved it, can throughly recommend, ps although no parking at the venue you get a car park permit and there’s plenty of car parks well within walking distance.

“A really warm and cosy room right in the heart of Ambleside”
We had a lovely stay here. We booked the Mountain View room with a private bathroom, and both the bedroom and bathroom were finished to a really high standard. The room was warm, cosy, and very comfortable, with plenty of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, etc provided, plus additional supplies available downstairs if needed. We ended up spending most of one day in the room due to bad weather, but the space was so comfortable that it didn’t feel like a compromise at all. It’s also very dog-friendly, with thoughtful touches like towels available by the front door. The included parking pass was a great bonus, especially as many places we looked at didn’t offer this. Although the parking is a short 3–5 minute walk away, it was very straightforward and not an issue for us. Overall, a fantastic stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

“Period charm with modern convenience in the heart of Ambleside.”
Lovely place, the room (Fairfield) was a large double with two windows, one overlooking the bustling street with lovely shops, and one with a great mountain view and an armchair to look at it from. Nice furniture, comfy bed and plenty of pillows and cushions. Great storage and plenty of room. Super clean with a nicely stocked tea tray. It is self check in but there is a telephone number and George was on hand to answer my many, many questions. He could not have been more helpful, from helping me find the (very conveniently) located carpark to suggestions for resturants and local ammenities.

“Great stay but commucarion needs to be improved”
Clean room, good location, WiFi was working fine, staff that we spoke to were nice and friendly. Liked the fact that you could just grab extra supplies from reception area such as toilet paper, teabags and milks if needed. Great that permits were provided as well. Good communication and detailed messages sent from staff prior to stay.
