The location is very good: it's not by the lake, BUT it is close to the starting point of many hiking trails and very close to the bus stop. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, my train was delayed twice by more than 3 hours in total and I had to use the late check-in option, and that happened without any trouble. The building is very old (in a good sense, try asking the hosts about its history) and very well maintained. The breakfast was nice, wish they had scrambled eggs though. They mention it here, but once again - this building does not have a lift.

Everything was lovely about this B&B. The staff Shannon, Joanna & Sam were really nice to us and made our stay comfortable. The property has a great location and decent facilities. The property has a traditional decor and they're planning to get some refurbishments done soon I'm told. I would love to visit Ambleside again and stay with them.
