    Lovely stay with great hosts!

    Had an amazing 2-night stay! The place was super clean and cozy, with all the essentials. Tracey and Kevin were so friendly and really made us feel welcome. Breakfast was top-notch, especially the local produce. Just wish there were a few more options for afternoon snacks. it was a fab experience!

    Had to find breakfast options elsewhere since early morning service wasn't available, particularly for us early risers. The majority of nearby eateries closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, making dinner planning a challenge. the limited hours felt a bit restrictive during peak season. A small missing touch was the absence of dressing gowns in specific rooms, which could've added to the comfort level.

    clean rooms
    lack of breakfast
    dining inaccessibility

    Impeccably clean rooms.

    During our stay, we were disappointed to find no early breakfast options available. This was particularly frustrating as we had planned to start our day early for hiking. The lack of flexibility in dining hours left us feeling unaccommodated, which overshadowed our overall enjoyment of the visit.

    Absolutely Charming Stay in the Heart of Ambleside!

    We had a fantastic two-night stay, soaking in the beautiful bay window views from our spacious double room. The hosts went out of their way, drying our hiking gear. A quick tip, check local dining hours, especially on weekdays, as many places close early! We'll be back!

    endless breakfast

    Suitable for a relaxing escape

    The breakfast choices were endless, I mean, they had full English, smoked salmon, and even vegetarian options. As for the room, it was spotlessly clean and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. They even had a generous supply of quality toiletries, that’s attention to detail.

    It wasn't cheap, but for what we got, it felt worth it.

    delicious breakfast
    immaculate cleanliness
    limited dining

    Immaculate room cleanliness stood out during my stay, with comfortable beds and high-quality linens. Breakfast choices exceeded expectations, offering delicious full English options and fresh cooked dishes that kick-started the day perfectly.

    The proximity to eateries felt limiting, especially during my stay when many options were closed on weekdays, creating a challenge for dinner. I also found the shower space cramped, making it a bit awkward post-wash. There was also a lack of evening entertainment options, leaving me searching for things to do after a long day.

    great shower

    The Small Double Room was super comfy. Spotlessly clean and nicely decorated, it had everything I needed—great shower and quality toiletries. The bed felt like a cloud! Even the heating was easily controlled. Just perfect for getting a good night's sleep after a day of exploring.

    Absolutely Wonderful Stay!

    I had a fantastic experience during my two-night stay. The breakfast selections were endless, featuring made-to-order options with fresh local ingredients. My room was immaculate with a super comfy bed, making for restful nights after long days of exploring the beautiful surroundings. The location was perfect, just a short stroll from shops and stunning walking trails. The only downside was that parking was a bit distant, but given the wonderful stay, it was a minor issue.

    Can just recommend for a weekend breather

    Modern room, clean shower, with freshly presented breakfast that included delicious options and the convenience of off-site car parking just a minute away.
