Spent a couple of nights here, room was small but very clean. Had good coffee and tea making facilities and were replenished daily. Fresh drinking bottle of water and some nice biscuits. Nice sitting room next door to our room and had a good selection of cereals, fruit, yoghurts and pastries with jams and marmalade. Nice selection on the menu for the main breakfast, full English, options of scrambled eggs, beans, poached eggs on toast with salmon etc. Hosts were nice and accommodating and were available throughout our stay if we needed any information about the area, nice places to eat and visit etc. Had the bonus of a car park with free parking which was a massive bonus as its very hard to park in and around Ambleside.

Read moreIt doesn't matter how great the location is, or even how comfortable, if the hosts are unwelcoming and rude, you won't want to stay. We turned into their driveway by mistake, since several of the accomm venues in the area have similar names. As we got out of our car, this couple came rushing towards us aggressively, demanding to know what we were doing there. Still innocently thinking we were in the right place, we introduced ourselves. Their expressions were disdainful, almost angry, as if we were interlopers and intruders. They basically ejected us. What a relief when we got to the right place and was so warmly welcomed. No Daren and Debbie, that is NOT how you treat people. Thank goodness we didn't...
