Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Ambleside

Anita is a great host you can expect a very warm welcome from her Anita was always helpful and attentive her accommodation is characterised by unique and charming features, provisions were a good standard. Nice peaceful location.

Very pleasant stay Dean was very helpful the full English breakfast was great both days great base for exploring the lakes we would definitely stay there again only slight negative was the shower wasn’t very powerful and the bed was a bit uncomfortable but that wouldn’t stop us visiting again thanks

Lovely stay in a traditional Cumbrian farmhouse. Tranquil surroundings and a nice comfortable room. Hannah made us feel very welcome and served us a fantastic breakfast exactly when we needed it.

Me and a group of friends stayed here over Easter and it was the most incredible place. Anton and Penny were so helpful and lovely. The complimentary breakfast and food at the pub was so delicious and the yurt was so cosy, clean and well put together. Would definitely come back to this Airbnb. Penrith was a 15 minute drive away and the village was very picturesque. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a relaxing stay with some very helpful hosts

Handy base with easy access to a proper coffee in the village and to the lakes. One thing thats great about this air BnB is the seasonal garden fresh goodies that may be picked if available for your breakfast selection. Along with Sarah's homemade Bread, jam and yogurt.

Stayed 4 days in Paul’s lovely cottage, just a short walk from Hawkshead village. The accommodations were as expected and Paul could not have been a more gracious host. He has a wealth of local knowledge and directed us on some beautiful walks. Breakfasts were fantastic! Would absolutely return in a heartbeat.

Our second time staying, but this time with two toddlers as well. Helen and Peter couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We felt very so welcome and they really looked after us. We all enjoyed the lovely breakfast provided and slept well in the peaceful and comfortable room. This is a perfect b&b and we would highly recommend.

As soon as you walk in to this guest house you know it is run with love and real enthusiasms for the whole place. It is very homely, clean place, run by lovely owner. My room was very cozy and clean. Comfy bed and as a bonus little fridge in the room! I was visited in very hot weather and it was very welcome addition in the room. I think all accommodations should have little fridges in they room. Really handy. The guest house offer huge selection of fresh, home made cakes (the coconut and raspberry crumble is AMAZING!) also the home made jams, you can purchase and reception are lovely. Defo get at least one jar. Breakfast was lovely and exactly as I ask. Lovely, fresh, proper coffee set me off for the day in Lakes. Guest house is only few minutes drive from Hodbarrow Lighthouse. Do not miss it. Very lovely! I will be happy to visit anytime again. x

The Priory was a great stopover for one night: it was comfortable and warm and had everything we needed. We ate in the café twice, once for tea and once for the breakfast; we had delicious meals both times and were made to feel very welcome by the staff. Scorton is a great village and we hope to visit again to stay longer.

Fiona couldn't have been more welcoming; we travelled to climb the three peaks and arrived slightly later in the evening and all was accommodated. The room was comfortable, clean and tidy. Breakfast was delicious and we would happily stay again!

A warm welcome and very clean and comfortable accommodation. Delicious cooked breakfast with home made preserves. Just a short walk into town and a 15 minute walk uphill to Castlerigg stone circle. Thanks for a great stay!

Thank you so much Stuart for your hospitality and making us feel at home. It was great experience to live at your place and to get to know you. Highly recommended not only because of location, but also place and people you will be staying with.

Thanks for a wonderful and memorable visit to Cockermouth! The space was lovely and I appreciated how responsive and accommodating Amy was during the 5 night stay. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing! Hope to return to Cockermouth again soon!

Absolutely amazing place to stay, with an old-school character. Very old building with brilliantly authentic interior, which keeps its own long history and secrets😉. It's a Lancashire hidden (or not so hiden) gem. Literally everything, from the Hosts welcoming attitude to the way the rooms and the entire house are presented, makes you feel yourself like in a hide away from modern cyber age back to victorian and even renaissance times. Thanks a lot for everything, Kevin and Maria! Hope to stay at The Homestead again this year.

For a foreign visitor, this was a wonderful opportunity to experience an authentic British lifestyle — just like what you see in classic British TV dramas. The lovely couple, the peaceful countryside setting, everything felt truly English. What impressed me most was the traditional English breakfast — beautifully prepared with a great sense of ritual. From the tableware to the coffee, tea, toast, and fresh fruit, every detail was thoughtful and full of charm. Above all, I truly admired the hosts — their professionalism and passion for life were inspiring and left a deep impression on me.

Lovely little b&b to stay in, walking distance to Bowness. Great location for a visit to the Lake District. Karen was a great host who helped us out with suggestions of where to go and made a lovely breakfast. Lovely little touches as well like chocolate eggs as it was Easter Sunday ☺️ thanks a lot!

Clare is a great host and a very nice person! Provided me with everything that I needed for my stay and even more! Lovely place, felt at home. Lovely dogs very friendly. Good bed, bedroom with a lot of space, good bathroom and shower, lot of space on the wardrobe, a place to make a coffee and a mini fridge. Perfect place to be!!

Great stay with Tony and his cat Smudge. Peaceful and private, with helpful recommendations for local amenities. Loved his pottery so much I even bought a piece as a souvenir! Would recommend. Perfect location.

Great place to stay a few nights. Clean room with a good breakfast included in the mornings. Would stay there again.

absolutely wonderful stay, breathtaking views and wonderful food nearby. Sarah is a fabulous host and her recommendations are spot on! thank you ☺️

I arrived earlier than check in just to advise that I was actually there and was not a no show due to me not returning till late that night. I was given my keys and had immediate access to the room and a quick drink in the bar before I went to do my thing . A lovely place to come home to with friendly locals in the bar while I was having a nightcap :-)

We stayed with Liz as a last minute honeymoon and are so pleased we did! A fabulous host, beautiful location, great breakfast and a very comfy bed 😊 Thank you so much, we can’t wait to return

Marianne is extremely welcoming, friendly and accommodating. She served us a breakfast worthy of a hotel, excellent. We recommend the place

We really enjoyed our stay at Cragg House Farm and it exceeded expectations. Everything is presented to a high standard. The bedroom is exceptional with a spacious bathroom area and everything was spotless. The remote location has beautiful views and it is really peaceful gazing at the mountain views and seeing the animals. Liz is a truly perfect host and made sure we felt comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfast was lovely with a good choice on offer. We would certainly come back again. Thank you. Simon & Claire.
