Great location, next to bus stop and amenities but very quiet at night. The room was very cozy with attention to detail. I loved the shoes tray in the room and at the entrance. There is lots of leaflets, maps and tips available to plan your day.

Everything was lovely about this B&B. The staff Shannon, Joanna & Sam were really nice to us and made our stay comfortable. The property has a great location and decent facilities. The property has a traditional decor and they're planning to get some refurbishments done soon I'm told. I would love to visit Ambleside again and stay with them.
