Tracy Thompson 'Would recommend and book again'
The room was great - exactly as it looks on the website. A lovely welcome
from the owner on arrival. A peaceful location with free parking on site or
on the quiet street right outside with a permit (free). Extra care was
being taken with Covid hygiene so it felt safe. Perfect location for the
centre of Ambleside.

Worse over of a BB I've ever experienced, stayed there for weekend, very aggressive owner and worse over cooked and sparse breakfast I've ever had! Found owner, odd to talk too, not personable at any level, how she runs a BB is beyond me. She just doesn't listen as she never stops talking, i found her very bossy and unprofessional and not a people person which i think is bizarre. Food was terrible, service was shocking and very unhelpful. At the end of the stay, she started shouting for no reason, big issues there. I wouldn't recommend you stay here owner doesn't car only was 'ss, Please don
