    I booked through booking.com which said that the cost would be paid at the property, however, this did not happen. The property took the full total of the stay as well as a £100 deposit right after booking and then it stated that there was no refund available.

    Excellent location. Food was wonderful, although there was a limit to two cups of tea and two slices of toast.

    The hosts Frank and Jo great communicators and run the B&B with a smile. Good selection of breakfast food, freshly cooked. The breakfast room was light and well decorated as the rest of the house. Room had great view of hills, quiet location close to town centre. Added bonus of small fridge in room.

    Great friendly hosts, who were helpful beyond our expectations when bad weather struck. The location is perfect for walking into Ambleside, and with the ability to leave our car on the private car park to the guest house too. Lovely outlook at the rear of the property over the fields and river.

    A very comfortable stay in an excellent location but rather regimented rules in place.

    There were restrictions on check-in time which was very stressful for us not being able to arrive within the time limit (since one of the party were coming from a ferry and the others needed to finish work before driving up to Ambleside). It worked OK in the end but I have never experienced this elsewhere - there is usually always a way of being able to arrive late if needed. Otherwise breakfast was good but the coffee really needs to be a bit stronger! It was cafetiere coffee but not enough coffee in it (we normally have this type at home so know how much is needed).

    The location was perfect for our needs to participate in a wedding nearby. It was close to the village so easy to go there in the evening, and we were able to take a nice walk to Grasmere and back. The couple running the place were very friendly and helpful and we had an excellent breakfast choice. The rooms were very well presented and we had a lovely view.

    The floorboards creaked very loudly in the room above and kept us awake on the second night. No one there on first night.

    Well positioned near the centre but very quiet. Large room, very clean and good breakfast.
