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 :)

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.

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.
