By far the best B&B I and my wife have ever stayed in, the rooms are excellent ( there are only 2). The food is second to none. The hosts are just the nicest people you would ever meet. The location is spot on. As mentioned on other reviews the sandwich bar run by Ola is your fist and only... More

My partner and I recently stayed here for a weekend at the beginning of March and it was faultless! Lovely room, very quiet, comfy bed, beautifully clean - a big plus as far as I am concerned and the hosts Ola and Peter could not have done more for us. Breakfast was out of this world and Ola even ran... More

Don't be discouraged by the fact that this is above a shop! We were a little apprehensive when this property was booked by friends as it was fairly new with few reviews. We had nothing to worry about though as this is a well-run and friendly B&B. Ola and Peter were perfect hosts during our stay over the New Year.... More

I was with my partner in Ambleside for the first time and stayed for 7 nights last week in this lovely B&B owned by Ola and John. This 6 months old property is kept in excellent condition and has a convenient sandwich shop downstairs - the Filling Station. Conveniently located at Church Street, it is in the heart of town...

A lovely little bed and breakfast in the picturesque village of Ambleside. Our hosts were delightful, the rooms immaculate and the breakfast hearty. An ideal base for ventures into the hills, provided you have better weather than we did! Highly recommended!

We stayed here for 2 nights and loved every minute of it; apart from a bus hitting our hire car but thanks Ola for being so helpful and not letting it ruin our holiday. Perfect location with shops, resturants and bars right on your doorstep yet couldn't hear any noise at night. Room was clean and breakfast was delicious. We... More

We have just come home after a 2 night stay at this new B&B in Ambleside. Run by perfect hosts, Ola & Peter, it is a small spotlessly clean B&B, with lovely comfy beds and excellent cooked breakfasts. I can honestly say, I haven't been in a B&B so clean! Located right in the centre of Ambleside, the rooms are... More
