We loved our stay at The Ivy. Absolutely spotless and we were leaving early and were able to get breakfast served earlier and exactly what we wanted - porridge & blueberries before a big cycle ride, perfect. The beds are very comfy and it’s in a quiet location. Highly recommend.

Minor adjustments needed

Could do with a bedside light at each side of bed. Electric kettle plugged into a trailing lead that was dangling mid air not long enough cable to teach worktop. Very dangerous. No signal available on TV . Beds and pillows very comfotable. Breakfast was made to order and excellent

1st this property is in Hawkshead not Ambleside. Property could not be in a better location and is a grand building with great parking. The owners have pretty much nailed everything in a very unobtrusive way. Good breakfast with good choice. Rates are reasonable and they are dog friendly. Would recommend without hesitation.

Family trip to the ivy guest house

Me and my partner had a fabulous stay in this beautiful cottage. The food and staff were great and with my partner being heavily pregnant they reached every demand she had with ease. We stayed with our dog and she had a great time too meeting some other furry friends staying there as well. 10/10

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful restoration of an old building with more work to be done on the windows and sills. Lovely, welcoming owners who were very helpful with any of our needs. Breakfast requirements texted the night before and ready for us at the specified time. Comfortable beds and modern bathroom with easy to use shower. Car parking space. What's not to like?

Fantastic 2 night stay

✨ **A Perfect Stay at Ivy House!** ✨ Had the absolute pleasure of staying at **Ivy House**, hosted by the wonderful **Kate & Paul**—and what a gem of a find! From the moment we arrived, their genuine warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home. The place is **spotless**, every detail carefully considered, and the **breakfast**—wow! Fresh, delicious, and the perfect start to each day. Not to mention, the **location** couldn’t be better—just a short stroll from all the best pubs and restaurants, making exploring a breeze. If you’re looking for **fantastic hosts**, a charming and comfortable stay, and an unbeatable location, Ivy House is the place to be! Highly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect, relaxing stay.

The hotel is set in the picture book village of Hawkshead. The place itself is a beautiful old house with original features throughout. The rooms are a good size with really comfortable beds and are pet friendly. The village itself is beautiful, with several different places to eat and within walking distance of Ambleside (6 miles). The service at Ivy House was excellent. Greeted by the friendly owner with a bottle of fresh water and shown to our room. You can also text the owners your breakfast order the night before and specify what time you would like to eat which I thought was a great touch. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing stay, with a view to doing some walking or sightseeing, with the option of excellent food in cosy pubs, I couldn't recommend Ivy House any higher.
