Kent House is perfectly located in Ambleside, within easy walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. And despite being on the main road it was very quiet. Simon and Saundra are extremely helpful, giving guidance and directions, and even house-sat our dog while we went to dinner. There is off-street parking too, although the driveway is a bit challenging... More

Our hosts went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable, even dog-sitting when we went out for a meal one evening! Breakfast was also great. We... More

We recently spent 4 nights at Kent House in Ambleside. It is in a great location, easy to get to from the train station and close to some of the loveliest walks inc.
