Weekend break
Great location, very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was very good with a variety of foods, we would definitely stay here again!
Fabulous location and lovely B&B with parking included. Breakfast was very tasty without being too heavy leaving room for more of the culinary delights Ambleside has to offer. We had fabulous weather when we were there so suffered a little bit from the heat at night but there was a little fan which helped somewhat but missed my own cool duvet from home

Lovely friendly staff, room clean and comfortable, dog friendly. The only down side was the price was a little steep for a Thursday night stay.

We'd like to keep the Townhouse a secret so we can book again!
It is a lovely B&B and very reasonable value, centrally located within Ambleside. There is also a delicious breakfast with a good range of choices.
