Large, spotless room with very comfortable bed and pillows. Loved the fact that the bathroom was modern with separate bath and shower.. after long days hiking a hot bath was definitely a nice bonus … lovely cooked breakfast, on site parking and just a 5 minute stroll to Ambleside shops, pubs and restaurants.. we loved our stay thank you

Wonderful stay overall! The owners were super friendly and helpful, the breakfast was excellent and everything was super clean. Location and value for money are second to none. I would definitely visit again!

Very small points overall, but for two large-ish people the bed is a little narrow, and a standard power outlet next to the bed would've been nice. Of course there's a limit to what the room itself allows, so it's understandable.
