Loved by guests
"Genuinely had car parking on site unlike other bed and breakfast accommodation we have used in Ambleside who advertised having parking."
"Breakfast was amazing with plenty of choice, bed was very comfortable, everywhere was spotless and just a 5 min walk into town."
"Had the bonus of a car park with free parking which was a massive bonus as its very hard to park in and around Ambleside."
