    We enjoyed a superb stay at Hillsdale B&B. We were in a king-bed room on the top floor with lovely views over the slate rooftops of the town. Our en suite room was very clean and cozy. We both slept very well in the bed. The bathroom was compact but perfectly adequate with large fluffy towels, a great shower and large mirror. It also had a small night light, meaning we didn't need to switch the main light/fan on, which is a great idea! Breakfast was astounding with a wide variety of options, including cereals, pastries, yoghurt, and one of, if not the best cooked breakfast I've ever had, wonderfully cooked using quality ingredients. And you get to pick what you have on the plate. Amazing. Steve, and Caz were wonderful hosts, providing tips on where to eat, public transport and even helped me arrange flowers for my wife, which were in the room on arrival. Thank you for a wonderful stay. You will see us again!

    Hosts are very welcoming.Breakfast has wide choice and large portions. The room was quite small but had everything you needed. Parking in a secure area is definitely a benefit.

    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 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.
