A fantastic place to stay. Clean, comfortable and quiet. Welcoming host and a great breakfast.

Our room was well decorated and pristine. Only one minor point as far as we were concerned was the small bathroom, which didn’t affect us personally. There are most likely to be rooms with larger bathrooms.

Beautiful house, tastefully decorated and beautifully kept garden.. The Log Burner in the hallway immediately enticed us in to the warm and friendly environment provided by the Hosts.

We loved everything about the property.

It was a charming country house which maintained its Cumbrian heritage and was maintained to a high standard inside and out. The gardens are lovely to wander around too.

All very good.

In over 30 years of visiting the Lakes we have walked past this property many times but never stayed! Wish we had earlier. It is exceptionally well run. The hosts are most friendly, welcoming, accommodating. They were kind enough to give us an early breakfast so we could outrun Storm Babet on our way home! The breakfasts were probably the best we have had at B and B's. Great choice, beautifully sourced, cooked and presented. The house is kept immaculately clean. A real pleasure to stay.

Nothing to dislike.

Foxghyll is beautiful and full of character. It is perfectly located about a 12 minute stroll from Ambleside, and you can walk straight from the house (via the garden path) up onto Loughrigg Fell. Paul and Rachel are the most wonderful hosts and super helpful. Breakfast is delicious too.

Foxghyll Country House is perfectly located between Ambleside and Rydal, in an idyllic and peaceful setting, making it ideal for walkers or those seeking a retreat. In addition to the warm welcome and attention to detail provided by Paul and Rachel, who served up a very hearty and delicious breakfast, there are also beauty treatments on offer including massages - the perfect tonic at the end of a long but beautiful circle walk over Loughrigg fell to Grasmere.

Beautiful and quiet location. Close to the mountains and a short walk to the shops, bars and restaurants of Ambleside. Far enough away from the crowds though.

all good.

Excellent location. Superb hosts. Cheerful. Welcoming. Breakfast - enormous - how generous of you Paul and Rachel. This is how to run a B&B, the old fashioned way where guests feel good. We will be back.

Amazing location, situated in a very quiet area just outside Ambleside. Easy enough to walk to but away from the hustle of tourists. The room was huge, great to have the spa bath.

Long walk from Ambleside. Suited more to people with cars.

Loved the breakfast. Beautiful garden and very quiet. Staff couldn't be more helpful. The bed very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows.

The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the water pressure in the morning, which fell to pretty much zero presumably because too many other guests were showering. For some, the one mile walk to Ambleside might be more than they’d like but we enjoyed it - it was a nice, scenic walk, and flat & paved so we could wear our evening shoes. The hosts even provided pocket torches for coming back after dark.

Gorgeous B&B, lovely hosts, stunning grounds, walkable from Ambleside, big comfortable rooms, shutters for a good night’s sleep. Also loved that we could walk straight out of the place when we arrived, buy ice cream from the host and immediately climb up the beautiful Loughrigg fell. Thoroughly deserves its high rating.

The house is beautiful and luxurious. It has been carefully renovated to meet guests’ needs without covering over the charm of a house with history. Rachel and Paul were warm, welcoming and so helpful for our first visit to Ambleside.

Stayed in April 2023

Incredibly warm welcome from the owners on arrival, the food was fantastic and nestled in a lovely quiet place with Ambleside town a short (around 15 minute) walk away. Owners couldn't do enough to help us and the place was amazing.
