Brantfell House, hotel in Ambleside

Just a short stroll from Ambleside’s village centre, this beautiful Victorian house has excellent breakfasts and boutique-style rooms, many with views of the fells. Wi-Fi is free.

We absolutely loved our stay at Brantfell House. While the accommodation is lovely, well designed and stocked up with everything you could need, and the location was absolutely perfect, it is Mandy and Adie that make this stay so special. You will feel like you are arriving at a friend’s house, the way these two wonderful humans take care of you. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The town is certainly our pick of the district. It’s an easy walk to the ferry to get a boat to Windermere - or the buses are affordable and frequent. Do yourself a favor and stay and Branfell House.

    Absolutely loved the whole experience. It was more than I would usually pay but well worth it. It felt like luxury from the moment we walked in. We also had dinner there which was fantastic. The outstanding feature has to be the staff, who are all really approachable and happy to have a laugh with you. Stunning wallpaper in the restaurant.
