Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Ambleside

Anita was a fabulous host. very accommodating & helpful. wonderful vegan breakfast. Really comfortable & quiet stay. Great access to Buttermere. thank you!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Motherby House and am so grateful to the hosts, Jacquie and David, for making me feel so welcome. They’re both kind and engaging—and they gave me some great recommendations for places to eat and visit in the area. Breakfast was delicious and Jacquie kindly made me a tasty packed lunch for my hike! I’d be very happy to stay here again.

I am not sure I can add more superlatives to my last review - lovely house, perfect location and terrific hospitality.

Beautiful warm clean accommodation . The bed was the most comfortable I’ve slept in. Bathroom was large, very clean and hot water. Julie left us a wide choice of breakfast including vegan, lovely. Very private and quiet, parking. Attention to detail was great “sheep” .

Easy enough to find, friendly host and clean comfy bedroom. Beautiful views and a relaxing stay.

Hannah and her husband are very welcoming. The place is lovely and so peaceful! We will come back if we have the opportunity.

Stayed 4 days in Paul’s lovely cottage, just a short walk from Hawkshead village. The accommodations were as expected and Paul could not have been a more gracious host. He has a wealth of local knowledge and directed us on some beautiful walks. Breakfasts were fantastic! Would absolutely return in a heartbeat.

Kate’s place is pure magic! I wish we had stayed multiple nights. It was beautifully decorated, cozy, and warm. Kate was kind and made a delicious breakfast spread. The cats were so friendly and playful. I highly recommend staying here!

Karen's house is so peaceful and so welcoming - feels like staying at my own house.. She is responsive, looks after requirement and especially her homemade Breakfasts are to yummy.

Fiona was a lovely host, nothing was too much trouble. The Bedroom and en suite were very pleasing. Lots of extras that Fiona has thought about were appreciated. Can definitely recommend a stay here

We found the Kentrigg House accommodation spacious and very comfortable. The private sitting area with it's own TV is a great place to relax before going to bed. Elizabeth's continental breakfasts are wonderful. Breakfast is served in a large conservatory with great views across the valley. A relaxing and enjoyable stay. We will book again!

My wife, baby and I loved our two-night stay in Brian's tranquil and homely farmhouse. For a 7 month old the set up with a double bed and a single bed worked perfectly for us. It was nice to arrive to a warm bedroom as he had turned the heater on ahead of our arrival. Peaceful, quiet location with stunning surrounding views. His two black cats are lovely too! Thank you

Had a peaceful nights sleep, Jacqueline and Geoff are friendly warm welcoming hosts. And Geoffs home made granola was heavenly, thank you so so much. The room was warm cosy perfect 💚✨🌳

Expect to be spoiled with fabulous brekkies and good value Packed lunches (if wanted). Bedrooms clean and well presented with everything you need on hand. Nothing too much trouble for Angela. Also Countryside beautiful in this whole area. Definitely recommend a stay at this comfortable home from home.

Very comfortable stay in beautiful surroundings overlooking Crummock Water. 15 minute walk by the lake and along a brook to Buttermere for several eating places, or two minutes by car. Jules provided us with fantastic breakfasts which set us up for the day. Would highly recommend Wood House. Ideal for those who want to get away for a quiet retreat with comfort and good food.

Had the most fantastic time here. Adam and Symone were the perfect hosts and made our experience so lovely with all their attention to detail. From the communication pre arrival to the wonderful breakfasts in the morning (homemade compote was a highlight), everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend it for your next trip to the lakes!

Tony is a kind, reliable, and responsive host who made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The house is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully furnished, creating a warm and comfortable environment. Its location is ideal: just a 10-minute walk from both the train and main bus stations, which makes it a perfect base for exploring the Lake District. We especially enjoyed not having to worry about breakfast each morning before heading off early on our new adventures. Special highlights were spending time with Smudge, Tony’s adorable and playful kitten, and admiring Tony's latest pottery creations. We’d gladly stay here again without hesitation!

Great place to stay a few nights. Clean room with a good breakfast included in the mornings. Would stay there again.

absolutely wonderful stay, breathtaking views and wonderful food nearby. Sarah is a fabulous host and her recommendations are spot on! thank you ☺️

I arrived earlier than check in just to advise that I was actually there and was not a no show due to me not returning till late that night. I was given my keys and had immediate access to the room and a quick drink in the bar before I went to do my thing . A lovely place to come home to with friendly locals in the bar while I was having a nightcap :-)

we stayed at Liz and Edwards farm which was one of the most memorable experience. The place was tastefully decorated by Liz who had been an amazing, helpful and kind host serving up delicious cakes and breakfast each day, making sure we start the day right! She was extremely helpful in suggesting places to visit as well as showed us around her beautiful farm. One of the best bnb's i have stayed at and would definitely visit back when visiting the lake district. The farm gets covered by a blanket of stars at night, an ideal location for a peaceful holiday!

It was brilliant to get to stay with Marianne in her family home. She was very welcoming and friendly and showed us around her home and all of the amenities. Once settled in we made the short walk into the centre of town. We were able to come and go as we pleased. Marianne provided a delightful continental breakfast which was generously sized and set us up very well for the day. We shared stories and it was great to learn about eachother. As someone new to Lancaster, she also gave us some helpful insights into the area. She was a natural host and very sweet and accommodating. Thank you 😊

The wife and I stayed here over Easter long weekend and we were blown away! Liz is such a great host and the house is situated on a sheep farm which is close enough to town should you need but ideal for a private getaway. The property forms part of the Dale Way which is fantastic as a stopping point if you're the hiking sort like we are. Liz was on point with cleaning up our rooms each day, cooking us brekky and had many good ideas and recommendations for places for dinner or places to explore. We will definitely add this to our list of places to travel back to, especially when in the Lake District again. Can't rate anything down, truly a 10/10. Thank you Liz, we loved it!

Kim was very welcoming. Peaceful area not too far from kendal centre. I enjoyed my stay
