Just back home now from a brilliant 2 day break in Ambleside. Wordsworth Guest house was spotless, Janet was a very warm kind person that presented us with a really nice breakfast, nothing was too much trouble...."thank you". Complementary wine, cake, bottled water was very much appreciated, would highly recommend this place folks, having stayed in Ambleside myself on and off over this past 25 years 😀 👍 Enjoy!!!

Me and my friend have just had a 2 night stay at this wonderful guest house. Can honestly say everything was fabulous and we couldn't fault it. Janet made us feel extremely welcome. We loved the complimentary glass of red and white wine and the cakes we tried were delicious. Rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean with everything you need. The location is great only a five minute walk from the centre if that. We would definitely return here if we ever stay in Ambleside again.

What a wonderful Bed & Breakfast. We have just returned after a two night break. We were greeted by Janet who was friendly & showed where we could get complementary cake (delicious) and a glass of red or white. Our room had a seating area, with sink, microwave & fridge - this addition to the room was brilliant. The bedroom had everything you could wish for, so much attention to detail. The en-suite compact but totally serviceable, hot powerful shower, just what’s needed after a day walking. Very central, parking for our car. Breakfast great, lots of choice & plenty of cafeteria coffee. Thank you Janet for sharing your home with us, would love to visit again.
