Comfortable stay

The room was comfortable and clean at a high standard. All staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was all that we needed and tasty. Service at breakfast was also efficient and friendly. The facility was close enough to Ambleside, but far enough to not have all the traffic noise.

Wonderful location

Had a wonderful time not far from centre of Ambleside but also a bus stop 5 minutes walk away which can take you to the pier. It was lovely to park up the car and not need to use it until we went home The gardens were beautiful and lovely to sit outside on an evening with a bottle of wine and enjoy the countryside.

The country house is situated in the most idyllic place, surrounded by beautiful gardens, which you can relax in, and outstanding views of the surrounding fells. The property itself is to the highest standards with large immaculate bedrooms. Breakfast is delicious, with the finest ingredients and a varied menu, served by friendly, helpful staff. I would highly recommend and will definitely return.

Iconic stay in the heart of the Lakes

A truly evocative stay, in the heart of the Lakes & so convenient to both amazing walks and Ambleside. Iconically old fashioned, but everything is to an amazing standard. Breakfast is all fresh & local. It might be a great side if they offered (pre-booked) packed lunches?

Bedroom was slightly dated, breakfast was a bit stingy and breakfast timings weren’t especially flexible. It was a 1 hour window between 8:30 and 9:30 which I feel is quite late given the season and need to set off early to catch the sights and no options for grab and go breakfasts even when we asked. Bathroom was a stand out in terms of facilities and the location was amazing. A B&B needs to be successful in two areas, a bed and breakfast. This location was just so so on both. For the price asked I’d suggest pay a little more and get the better alternatives locally or pay a lot less and go further afield. This was a not great middle ground.
