3rd stay here. Comfortable and great location.Good shower that doesn't flood the bathroom when used. Bathroom in good decorative order. Excellent breakfast with friendly, efficient staff. Parking in Ambleside is a big bonus and it's great to arrive and be able to leave the car until departure. Great to be able to pick up extra tea and coffee from reception desk if required.

We stayed in room 2, which we have not been in before. The room was lovely with a side view of the garden. However, walls were badly in need of a repaint, lots of peeling paint. We also had a broken chair in the room, which we fortunately discovered was broken when we placed a coat on it rather than sitting on it, which would have caused injury. The cleaner should have picked up on this.

The host Joanna was welcoming and friendly, taking the time to show us the breakfast room location, explain the hours of breakfast, check-out and then our room. Joanna also had a great local knowledge of restaurants and the area, with good communication pre-arrival, a warm welcome and check-in time confirmation. Our room had been very kindly upgraded from a standard double room to a deluxe double room upon arrival, as we were very late past out estimated time, having taken the advantage of the great weather to tour around the area all day from our drive down from Ayr. The room was very spacious, comfortable and well equipped, a very handy ground floor location with direct access to the car park for luggage retrieval. Car parking was easy access, located right at the B&B. We had no trouble finding a space, even at our arrival time of 6pm. The B&B is very well situated, right in the town, within a short walking distance to restaurants and shops. Breakfast was great, lovely and fresh, hearty, served in a lovely sun room facing the small pretty garden.

Room was spacious and clean with a little private sitout. Staff was very helpful and pleasant, the laundry facility for a small number of clothes was a lifesaver, breakfast was fresh, tasty but adding a few child-friendly options like pancakes would have made it fab. The location was superb, you could walk to everything in town leaving the car behind in their car park. A highlight was the jacuzzi bath tub, great after a fell walk.

The family room was spacious but with odd proportions like the super narrow corridor between them with two doors. The floor was carpeted but slightly uneven. No shelves in the cupboard makes it hard to keep the room tidy when you are 3 people on a longer trip. The sofa was worn out with sunken seats. The double bed was fine but the extra bed for the kids was a bit lumpy with hard pillows. I didn't raise it because we checked in late and then we were hardly in the room. I wasn't sure they could do anything either.

A beautiful property within walking distance from most amenities. Breakfast was delicious in a bright and well laid out dining room with very attentive and friendly staff. The day we checked out, the owner/manager allowed us to use the lounge to entertain family as the weather was very inclement, even bringing us a pot of rea. The bedroom was very comfortable.

Only a couple of things I was disappointed in, when I opened the sash window, the mullion was very dirty. The slip mat in the bath had not been cleaned for some time and was black underneath. otherwise the room was clean and comfortable

The warmth of our hosts was second to none. The property had a nice countrified feel to it, very inkeeping with Ambleside's scenic surroundings. Breakfast was amazing, quality ingredients cooked to perfection. The room was peaceful and maintained a perfect temperature and had a comfy bed that gave me two sound sleeps (never happened in over 40 years of hotel/B&B stays before this trip). Close to amenities, shops and good restaurants, but in a quiet spot overlooking the park. Plenty of private parking spaces. 3 minute walk from the bus stop to Keswick, Kendal, Grasmere etc. 10/10 for all my needs. This will be our go-to B&B stay for further Lake district stays.

Having to go home!

Very welcoming upon arrival by joanna really lovely woman so friendly.. Explained everything we needed to no then showed us our room. Which was big and lovely no faults.. location is very good few minutes walk into town. Great car park attached .. in the morning the breakfast was filling & very enjoyable. They also sorted vegetarian and gluten free for my wife which was a plus.. definitely go back here. It's a gem in the heart of ambleside.. thanks to joanna and all her staff for a great stay x

I had to go home was the downside

Room and furnishings were nice, very clean and bathroom was a nice size. Four-poster bed was small but manageable. Dining room downstairs was a huge surprise on how beautiful it was with the furnishings in the dining room. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and excellent service. We had a nice mountain view from our room.

We actually circled the block twice or three times trying to get into the right property. Car park was extremely tight on parking. We learned later that the property next door will share their parking lot with Rothay Garth.

Great central location, free parking large room and great breakfast service

It’s not we did not like anything but as a 4 star accommodation the decor especially the wall paper, the state of the carpet in the room definitely needs freshened up. Not sure when the bathroom was installed but obviously having spend money installing new jacuzzi corner bath, shower and tiles the grouting finish especially around the bath and floor very poor indeed. If I was the owner I would be asking for this to be corrected or get my money back.

The loving treatment from the folks who took care us! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like valued friends dare I say family. Thanks to all who took care of us! Breakfast, brought to us by Johanna 🥰, was delicious, hot and filling! PS For fellow dog lovers - Our BFFF, Nat, was treated like a Prince and he really loved running up the stairs to our room. The sunroom provided a great space to clean him off, after a ramble, before bringing him into the house. This property is ideally suited for taking morning strolls into town and beyond!

The Wi-Fi, in public spaces was excellent, but not available in our room. We did not mind using lovely lounge area when we needed to use our devices. (A desk would be a lovely addition to the lounge)

Charming building, décor is nice and in keeping with the age of the building. Friendly, helpful staff. Great location, easy parking. Close to shops and restaurants, good base for other places in the Lakes.

Breakfast was much as you would have at home, fry-up with vegetarian option, also eggs on toast, both ok. However, when away I hope breakfast is better than my own. Some granola and fruit salad/compote would have been nice. No croissants, pastries or muesli (I'm not counting the dry porridge oats with a raisins).
