    The breakfast was second to none and the owners really made you feel welcome. A lovely place to stay and added bonus of a car parking space.

    From the outside to the inside of the property the attention to detail is fabulous. The only thing that was better were the hosts Steve & Kaz, whose attention to detail and warm welcome made you feel like you were at home. If you are staying in Ambleside make sure to see if they have vacancies you won’t regret it.

    We are a couple an found this a perfect stay. One of the best guest houses we have ever stayed in (having just come back from 12 months of travelling the world). The owners of this property Steve and Caz go above and beyond to make your stay the best possible and will do anything for you. The breakfast is very generous and soooo many choices . Considering it’s just the two of them waiting on and cooking and cleaning too, they run the whole place 10/10. Very clean and kept well with high standards. Instructions and expectations are explained during check in. Breakfast is chosen (by 8pm) the night before and handed in on a slip of paper and is served between 830-915. Parking is included within the room price and is a 1 min walk away in a secure car park. Your room is like your bedroom and service isn’t provided during stay unless you ask for it, anything you need Steve and Caz will do their best to accommodate. Would definitely return, we felt so welcomed.

    Very minor - our room was on the top floor and felt a little stuffy/hot.

    Excellent location, extremely accommodating and friendly hosts. Great breakfast too! Useful advice to book a restaurant for dinner in advance with recommendations too.

    The location is perfect, in the centre of Ambleside. Very clean spacious quiet room and bathroom, comfortable bed, plenty of sockets if needed. Hosts really friendly people with plenty of information if needed, and available to answer or assist with any questions. Would highly recommend a stay here.

    The breakfast made by Cas was quite the highlight of the stay which would be incomplete without steve's hospitality and humour that greeted us at the breakfast table every morning.

    The hosts Cas and Steve are such wonderful and happy people and were the best hosts we could ask for the the property in general is located very close to the lake so one can travel easily by foot and enjoy :)

    The weather, but that couldn't be helped other than that I had no complaints

    This was a lovely venue in the heart of Ambleside. The room was spotlessly clean and very nicely decorated. The bed was really comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. The breakfast was superb with lots of choice, the weather was raining cats and dogs, but the hosts had this covered as there was a number of umbrellas for the guests to use. I would definitely recommend a visit to this b&b, and we will return when the weather improves in the summer.
