Breakfast was great, the room was cosy and quiet. I appreciated the information we got about parking in the area.
The light above our bed did not have a lightbulb in it, but other than that no complaints at all!

Host was very helpful on arrival helping us to park etc.
Nothing we did not like. As mentioned previously this is the best B& B we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in many. I would recommend this place to anyone as it exceeded our expectations.

Service Room and breakfast
A little thing. Yorkshire T bags including decaf would be better than the owners ones.

Owners are so welcoming and friendly. Felt a good vibe as soon as we walked in. They still have 2 rooms to renovate of which we stayed in one, so a little outdated, but still very clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast selects are really good, so it was a full English for the husband and pancakes and fruit for me, both superb. Location is smack bang in the middle of Ambleside and with free parking.

Amazing, central Ambleside location. Really lovely, friendly & kind hosts/owners. Amazing breakfast. Free parking all week and a permit that also worked elsewhere so we were able to use this in Windermere too...this saves a lot of money. Tea/coffee/milk/biscuits all replenished each day in room along with fresh towels.
Rooms are very small so suitcase had to go back in the car!! Although it was clean, it could have been a little cleaner to move an 8 out of 10 to a 10.

The breakfast was really good and used locally sourced products. The room was compact but suited our one night stay
We had to park in a local Car Park a few minutes away from the property (but we did get a Car Park pass included)

hosts were superb
breakfast choice was excellent
location was perfect
facilities were very clean and washing products were provided
the room we had (1) was way too small and uncomfortable and very warm even with window open. Bathroom was cramped , there was an area at the end of the bed into which 2 doors opened that was the only storage and dressing space.
