Andrea really is the perfect hostess. She made us feel so important and showed much concern for the comfort of her guests. Giles and Andrea together make the best B n B breakfasts ever. We totally loved our stay at Elder Grove and would love to come back someday!

Great, friendly and accommodating. My only disappointment was I had to leave too early on my 2nd day to have the cooked breakfast, which was delicious the 1st day, with good quality local produce that tasted amazing.

Wonderful stay at Elder Grove. The room was beautifully decorated with a large comfortable bed. Service was outstanding, a really warm welcome and lots of useful knowledge and suggestions of what to do in the local area. The cooked breakfast was excellent all using local produce too. Cannot recommend Elder Grove enough and counting down until we can stay again.

Best b and b we have stayed in in Ambleside by a mile! Spotlessly clean, beautifully laid out and excellent attention to detail. Breakfast was superb and the added Jura coffee machine at breakfast to make coffees of your choice was an excellent idea. We will definitely be returning as we were made to feel very welcome and it was like home from home.
