Excellent we will definitely be back

Steve and Caz were very friendly and helpful, the room was lovely even decorated with a lovely christmas tree. The breakfast was great, lots of choice and set us up for a day of walking.

everything was great I have no complaints

9.0 / 10.0

Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I would happily stay here again.

I had a lovely stay at this cozy B&B lodge in Ambleside. The location was great — right along the streets of town and within easy walking distance to nearby restaurants, which made exploring and dining very convenient. The lodge itself had a warm, homely feel, and the room was comfortable throughout my stay. Breakfast was served in a generous portion and tasted great, so I left morning feeling satisfied.

The only minor downside was the limited flexibility in breakfast service timing, though I understand this is common for a family-run lodge.

10.0 / 10.0

Superb B&B

Great location, lovely B&B spotless and comfortable. Host's Steve & Caz very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is the best we have had in Ambleside. Private parking is a bonus, would highly recommend this B&B.

7.0 / 10.0

A greats night’s sleep, location and hosts. Average breakfast and awkward parking.

The furnishings and decor were excellent and the whole property was very clean. The interior design was impressive. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom facilities were great. The hosts were pleasant and welcoming and the location provides easy access to Ambleside.

The parking situation was a little awkward. You have to park outside for a maximum of 1 hour and bring luggage in, obtain key for private parking a 5 minute walk away and then drive to this. The breakfast wasn’t of the same quality to what we’ve come to expect from a Cumbrian B&B. Better Sausage and the addition of Black Pudding would level it up exponentially.

Fantastic B&B in the heart of Ambleside

The relaxed atmosphere of the B&B. Attentive owners, nothing was too much trouble. Excellent quality products for breakfast and the location is right in the centre! Parking a short distance away included in the price.

We liked the location, the cleanliness and the secure parking. The room was lovely and the bed was very comfy. Steve and Caz were wonderful hosts and very helpful. The breakfast was delicious, we will definitely be returning.

No negatives.

10.0 / 10.0

The best place I have stayed in! I will be recommending Hillside.

The welcome on arrival set the standard for the stay. The facilities are exceptional with everything you would see in a 5 star hotel. The breakfast was excellent. Caz and Steve want to ensure that all their guest’s needs are met - and exceeded.

It was perfect.

9.0 / 10.0

A pleasant comfortable stay.

Steve was very helpful, pleasant and welcoming. The room was spotless, and the house was well situated in the town. The breakfast was delicious, and we enjoyed our stay.

For us, we would prefer a bigger bed and more spacious room but what we had was sufficient and good value for the price.

Great value for money with ALL the benefits

Steve and Caz were welcoming and friendly from the outset. Providing all the necessary details about the B&B for the duration of our stay, as well as the very convenient and secure parking arrangements. They were always available to chat and sort out any questions, The room was just as expected with coffee, tea etc. and biscuits in the room. soft towels and all the toiletries in the ensuite including a motion sensor night light and, a very comfortable bed. The breakfasts covered all bases including juices, cereals, fruit and nuts & yogurt, followed by many variations of freshly cooked breakfasts including my personal favourite, pancakes with all the trimmings. The location is very convenient for all the area has to offer......Nothing was too much trouble. Definitely recommend it.

We felt relaxed and comfortable at Hillsdale and will recommend it to friends and family.

The breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and very good service. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. Easy walking distance from shops, restaurants and parking and a real bonus to have free parking. Ambleside is a great base for hill and more gentle walking.

Lovely place , fantastic location

Furnishings and facilities were lovely , location was perfect !

although breakfast was included in the stay . It appeared to be a big issue to understand that I’d like to have my breakfast on the go so requested to take it with me when i had to be away early . One reason was I can’t eat a big breakfast second reason it was already paid for and it was handy to have whilst hiking I was told we are a bed and breakfast and don’t do packed lunch .. meaning I had to miss breakfast on one of the days a simple sandwich would have been sufficient. This left me feeling quite uncomfortable as it’s not hard to understand , I didn’t think I was asking for any special treatment as it has been offered at every other place I have stayed

Cozy and friendly

-Friendly host -Cozy, cute room albeit small -Comfortable bed -Good breakfast

-Parking is a 5 min walk away from the property, not a deal breaker at all but not super convenient -Breakfast starts only at 8:30 compromising an early start in the day, that being said it’s freshly made “à la carte” so can’t complain

10.0 / 10.0

An excellent stopover and would have stayed an additional night if there were vacancies.

Our greeting was excellent, we were able to park outside using the voucher supplied to us, The room was very comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was more than ample and we couldn’t even eat any lunch! There were nice areas to relax inside and out too.
