Everything was lovely about this B&B. The staff Shannon, Joanna & Sam were really nice to us and made our stay comfortable. The property has a great location and decent facilities. The property has a traditional decor and they're planning to get some refurbishments done soon I'm told. I would love to visit Ambleside again and stay with them.

Nice location, our room was large and the hideaway was a perfect spot of a mini get away. Enjoyed the breakfast each morning with the lake view. Staff was really lovely. Appreciated their green policy and took advantage of not taking housekeeping for a drink. Having parking onsite was a nice surprise although the parking spaces are tight but that’s understandable. Beautiful hydrangeas on the walk path up to the lakehouse.
