Great, friendly and accommodating. My only disappointment was I had to leave too early on my 2nd day to have the cooked breakfast, which was delicious the 1st day, with good quality local produce that tasted amazing.

Will stay again
Very clean room with a really comfortable bed. Room 11 had very nice views and a new bathroom installation. No noise when we stayed. USB charging port on bedside sockets. Hairdryer. Tea, coffee bags also fresh milk usually available from downstairs fridge. Really good breakfast: fresh orange; fresh fruit etc.; perfectly cooked and quickly served. Adequate parking (my car is quite large and hasn't the best turning circle, so had to reverse out) Ambleside is small, so not far to walk to the bars and eateries.

Overnight Stay
Lovely hotel with superb hosts Matt and Lucy. Our overnight stay was brilliant. Our room (11) was sparkling clean with everything you could want. A good selection of tea and coffee plus biscuits. The bathroom was lovely with a deep bath and plenty of hot water. Breakfast was was hot and tasty and also a selection of cereals, yogurts etc. Would definitely recommend.

Relaxing time in the lakes
Wow. From the lovely welcome to the farewell, our host Lucy and Mike were a delight.
The house was well appointed. The bedroom, we had a junior suite, was comfortable and suitable for our few nights away.
Breakfast was superb with a great selection to suit even the fussy eaters.
Hoping to return in the spring.
