Great location just a 5-10 minute walk to the centre of town and also to the lake. Near parking and the view from our window over sheep in the paddock was very relaxing.

The location is very good: it's not by the lake, BUT it is close to the starting point of many hiking trails and very close to the bus stop. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, my train was delayed twice by more than 3 hours in total and I had to use the late check-in option, and that happened without any trouble. The building is very old (in a good sense, try asking the hosts about its history) and very well maintained. The breakfast was nice, wish they had scrambled eggs though. They mention it here, but once again - this building does not have a lift.

The location was superb. Right in the middle of Ambleside and a short walk to the many restaurants and pubs in town. Adie and Mandy were very welcoming , so helpful with useful bits of information that made our stay so comfortable and with an amazing breakfast every day, made to order. Very substantial breakfast which keeps one going through the day. They even make great packed lunches to go, if one so desires. We were really satisfied with the overall experience at Brantfell House and particularly so with Adie and Mandy as hosts and we would heartily recommend Brantfell House to anyone hoping to spend a few days in the Lake District.
