“Amazing stay didnt want to leave. Clean, calm and beautiful breakfasts with great hosts.”
This was a real treat. Central location, amazing hosts the most yummy breakfast. Alot of choice and catered for gluten free. The WiFi was always spot on, the rooms and dinning room were spotlessly clean and smelt lovely. The room was cosy and the bed was so comfy. The bathroom had a hot power shower even on the top floor. Nothing could possibly be faulted it was a real pleasure to stay and we will definitely be back. Parking was made easy. The best ambleside b&b experience ive had to this date.
