A home from home with a friendly welcome. A clean and comfortable room that had everything we needed. We will be back!

We chose it due to its central location. It was immaculately clean and the room was very comfortable with everything we needed and more. The hosts were welcoming and friendly. A lovely touch was the cake and wine we could help ourselves to.

Outstanding.

Friendly and helpful owners, nothing too much trouble. The room was outstanding, even a fridge to chill water etc. Delicious breakfasts and home made cakes. Local information and maps available, owners also very knowledgable and eager to ensure we had the best holiday. The location of B & B is a short walk into the town. Private off road parking.

Comfy, warm, friendly and all round happy

Janet and her family were absolutely lovely and very accommodating. We loved our first ever stay in the Lake District because of our experience at the Wordsworth guesthouse and all that Ambleside town has to offer. They were extremely helpful and friendly. Information pack was provided in the room. The room we stayed in was fantastic with everything you needed. Thank you - we will certainly be back!
