Recognition: Listed by The Guardian as top 10 B&B in Lake District
“I found the warm welcome upon arrival and the spotless cleanliness of Room 5 quite striking, with its comfortable bed and welcome tea and coffee provisions. It's wonderfully situated right in the heart of Ambleside, making exploration easy and parking, while sometimes requiring a short walk, a definite bonus. Learning of the Beatrix Potter connection adds a charming layer to what is a truly well-kept and conveniently located stay.”
