Tracy Thompson 'Would recommend and book again'
The room was great - exactly as it looks on the website. A lovely welcome
from the owner on arrival. A peaceful location with free parking on site or
on the quiet street right outside with a permit (free). Extra care was
being taken with Covid hygiene so it felt safe. Perfect location for the
centre of Ambleside.

Worse over of a BB I've ever experienced, stayed there for weekend, very aggressive owner and worse over cooked and sparse breakfast I've ever had!
Found owner, odd to talk too, not personable at any level, how she runs a BB is beyond me. She just doesn't listen as she never stops talking, i found her very bossy and unprofessional and not a people person which i think is bizarre.
Food was terrible, service was shocking and very unhelpful. At the end of the stay, she started shouting for no reason, big issues there.
I wouldn't recommend you stay here owner doesn't car only was £'ss, Please don

Gorgeous place run by Jo and Frank who can’t do enough for you! Lovely clean rooms, really tasty fresh breakfasts and brilliant location to explore Ambleside without having to drive. Jo and Frank welcomed us and our dog with open arms and really helped to make our stay special. Jo provided coffee and biscuits on our arrival which was a lovely touch. They provided us with lots of recommendations on places to visit, local walks and restaurants. Brilliant place to take your dog, they leave towels at the back door to wipe off muddy paws. As dogs aren’t allowed in the dining room they brought our
