Would Definitely Return!

Wanslea House was amazing! Steve and Tina are great hosts. We felt very welcome and right at home. We loved the recommendations for things to do — everything was perfect. Breakfast was also great; be sure to try the homemade jams too! We’ll definitely be back one day.
Sharon, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good before, excellent now

We last stayed 9 years ago, and liked the location and the room. Since then, the new owners have spruced it up - we stayed in the same room and it retains it's character while benefitting from an ultra modern, pristine bathroom alongside the tastefully refreshed decor. In addition, you're now given a parking permit which can be used around many nearby towns (you might need to ask for it). Lovely breakfast, lovely people.
Philip, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fresh and friendly accommodation conveniently located within walking distance of Ambleside, in the heart of the Lake District. Our hosts were ever so friendly and attentive, and the breakfasts were excellent. Our room was clean, comfy and cozy too. Thanks for everything!
Victor, 3-night trip

Well located

Quick check in, very good breakfast, comfortable and clean room. The owners are very friendly and provide great suggestions for walking trails or places to see / eat. Walking distance to several restaurants and beautiful trails.
Johanne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A well kept B&B run by a lovely, friendly couple. Only a short walk from Ambleside and very close to a bus stop with frequent buses all through the central Lakes.

Stephen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely place and friendly owners

Excellent guest house. We stayed in the king-sized room which was decently sized and had a recently refurbished bathroom. The room was spacious, airy, and bright. The place was lovely and we met one of the owners, Steve, who was an absolutely excellent host, incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely interested in his guests. His delightful conversations and willingness to share invaluable local tips truly enhanced our experience. The breakfast which was included in the reservation was delicious and tasty. The rooms came with kettle and tea bags with milk pots and sugar. There was free parking in nearby car park which was 2 mins walk away from the hotel.

Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at the Wanslea on a short motorcycle trip to Ambleside. The rooms were spotless and the building is in an excellent location. A member of our party was staying in another hotel but the owners of the Wanslea were kind enough to accommodate him for breakfast. The entire experience was lovely and the owners were incredibly welcoming. Thank you for a pleasant stay.
Adam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and comfortable place to stay in a really convenient location. It is a short walk to Windermere one way and Ambleside town centre the other. Breakfast was excellent (the bacon is amazing) in a spacious, informal dining room and trust me, you must try the rhubarb and ginger jam. Parking is catered for and not a problem. Owners Tina and Steve are such nice people - friendly and as helpful as could be and very knowledgable about the area. It will be the first place I check for availability when I'm next in Ambleside. A great stay - thank you Tina and Steve. PS - I made it up Wansfell Pike no problem :)
