Perfect B&B in a beautiful location! A very intimate and welcoming establishment and Debbie & Paul are wonderful! Very knowledgeable about the area. It’s clear that they love their job and the area they live in! We came to Ambleside for our wedding anniversary and the extra little finishing touches made it perfect.
There was nothing we didn’t like. Everything was catered for which made our stay relaxed!

My wife and I spent two nights and had a most pleasant experience. Debbie and Paul were the best hosts and made us feel at home. The room was lovely, with a very nice bathroom and breakfast was delicious!

Location is perfect, hosts are fantastic, very comfortable rooms, with added perks of breakfast and homemade flapjacks!

Such a hidden gem in Ambleside! The place is very central yet away from the busy streets. Debbie and Paul are such fantastic hosts and maintain the place so very well. Everything was well thought of and immaculate.
