Sue and Jerry provide a super and warm welcome. We visited Compston House a couple of years ago and were truly impressed by the way they run the B&B. When we had the opportunity to pay Ambleside a flying visit we checked in again and can happily report that the standards have been thoroughly maintained. The rooms are very clean... More

A fantastic B&B, extremely clean with great hosts Sue & Jerry who make you feel really welcome. Breakfast is superb, you definitely won't leave hungry!!! We can definitely recommend the 'American Breakfast'!

We booked Compston House on a recommendation via a work colleague (I didn't know the person who'd stayed at CH). We booked a double room and a single. On arrival we were greeted by Sue so warmly that we were a little overwhelmed! Following that Sue told us that she'd given us a complimentary upgrade due to it being quiet... More

This was our second visit to Compston House and it won't be our last! This is Sue & Jerry's home and we were made to feel part of it. There are lots of lovely little touches, which added to the pleasure of our stay. Our room was spacious, bright, very clean and warm. We stayed in Maine and had a... More

We stayed with Sue and Jerry again, probably 5 years since our last stay. Was as lovely as we remember and Sue and Jerry could not be more accommodating. Having designated parking anywhere in Ambleside is a bonus, so happy that we could park easily whenever we needed to. Our room was nice, clean and well furnished. Our only comment... More

This is our fifth visit to Compston House and each time it gets better and better. Sue & Jerry are like old friends now and they can't do enough to make our stay perfect. A new item has crept in on the breakfast menu of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, it is just perfect if you can't manage the pancakes... More

Needed a base for a few days walking and found Compston House on Late Rooms. Having spent many holidays in the States, the allure of American-style breakfasts was very strong and Sue's pancakes and French toast did not disappoint. She and Jerry were extremely friendly and welcoming hosts, always willing to help out with tips for making the most of... More
