Foxghyll Country House is perfectly located between Ambleside and Rydal, in an idyllic and peaceful setting, making it ideal for walkers or those seeking a retreat. In addition to the warm welcome and attention to detail provided by Paul and Rachel, who served up a very hearty and delicious breakfast, there are also beauty treatments on offer including massages - the perfect tonic at the end of a long but beautiful circle walk over Loughrigg fell to Grasmere.

Lovely breakfast, excellent reception and were well looked after by the the owners. En suite new and very clean. Room cleaned daily. Beautiful gardens and location. Would stay again it was like lovely

The fantastic 4, location, hosts, breakfast and rooms. A special place to stay, it was our first stay at Foxghyll and is now the only place we will stay when we visit Ambleside.

Loved the breakfast. Beautiful garden and very quiet. Staff couldn't be more helpful. The bed very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows.

Long walk from Ambleside. Suited more to people with cars.

Gorgeous B&B, lovely hosts, stunning grounds, walkable from Ambleside, big comfortable rooms, shutters for a good night’s sleep. Also loved that we could walk straight out of the place when we arrived, buy ice cream from the host and immediately climb up the beautiful Loughrigg fell. Thoroughly deserves its high rating.

The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the water pressure in the morning, which fell to pretty much zero presumably because too many other guests were showering. For some, the one mile walk to Ambleside might be more than they’d like but we enjoyed it - it was a nice, scenic walk, and flat & paved so we could wear our evening shoes. The hosts even provided pocket torches for coming back after dark.

The house is beautiful and luxurious. It has been carefully renovated to meet guests’ needs without covering over the charm of a house with history. Rachel and Paul were warm, welcoming and so helpful for our first visit to Ambleside.

Incredibly warm welcome from the owners on arrival, the food was fantastic and nestled in a lovely quiet place with Ambleside town a short (around 15 minute) walk away. Owners couldn't do enough to help us and the place was amazing.

my room had a gorgeous view of the garden, the bed was super comfy, room temperature was perfect, really good size room. extra special mention of the window seat! Breakfast was well cooked, a lot of choice, and I just love having someone else cut up fruit for my breakfast 😚. the location was perfect. 15 minute walk into Ambleside or 10min to Rydal, meant we were far enough away to feel isolated and in the country, without actually being isolated at all. bonus ice cream shop at the bottom of the garden on a sunny day 😎 the hosts were the cherry on top
