The room was big enough, clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any request we had. Absolutely recommended. The location is perfect because the bus stop to Windermere and the city centre was 2 mins away.

Loved this charming, quirky hotel - the owners were very nice and I enjoyed Matt's witty banter. The outside of the house was just as beautiful as the view we had from our room. The room was very comfortable: large bed, nice bathroom with all the amenities we were hoping for. In addition, we enjoyed a delicious home cooked breakfast in the morning. The hotel is located in the center of Ambleside, and we started our hike from there - no need to take the car (which we could conveniently leave in the parking).
