Helen and Arthur run a beautiful little friendly B&B. We stayed there for a few nights and were made to feel right at home. The standard of the rooms is excellent, they are very well maintained and offer all mod cons. The breakfast is cooked to order and everything was delicious. The Anchorage is only a 2 minute walk to... More

The room was cleaned every day to a really high standard. The breakfast was very good, well cooked, and tasty. There was a good selection of... More

Stayed for two nights at The Anchorage. Helen and Arthur have this B&B running like clockwork. Very cosy and situated within a very easy stroll (2 minutes) of the town centre. Most guests are repeat stayers as were we. You'll not be disappointed if you give it a try. We will return soon.

Have just returned home tonight after a lovely stay at The Anchorage in Ambleside. Before going we were impressed that Helen sent a card to say thank you for sending deposit. On arrival we were very pleasantly greeted by Helen, and shown to our spotlessly clean room. Every room in the Anchorage was spotless and Helen and Arthur should be... More

We recently wanted a 1 night weekend stay in Ambleside and after much effort (most places only accept 2 night weekend bookings) we came across the Anchorage who had room for us in their "small" double bedroom. We were expecting to have to walk sideways we thought the shower might be a squeeze but we were very pleasantly surprised. The... More

As we were passing through Ambleside we decided to stop off at the tourist information for one night accomadation. They put us in touch with the Anchorage and upon arriving we were pleasantly suprised. The whole place was immaculate and service was second to none. We would highly recommend this place.
