Our Canadian visitors first stay in a B&B.... I didn't want to tell them that "Not everyone was like this one" So I left the good memories in tact. We all loved the breakfast, our bedrooms and enjoyed meeting up in the cosy lounge before going out. Loved the hosts, really friendly. Thanks Karen, Shirley, Mark, Georgina and our Canadians... More

We've spent four New Years at Red Bank and can't rate it highly enough. It is the reason that we have returned to Ambleside year after year. George and Val are the perfect hosts, always welcoming and run a great, comfortable B&B. All the rooms are excellent and the breakfasts perfect. You are only 5 minutes walk from the centre... More

I found the Redbank just browsing the internet for New Year break and so thrilled we did. Enjoyed every minute of our stay, great location and excellent accomodation & service.

What a find the Red Bank is and we will defo be returning! George and Val were very accommodating and couldn't do enough for us even when we arrived late, cold and wet from walking, we were told to sit by the log fire with a warm drink. Our room was wonderful, the bed was huge and very comfortable, in... More

We have just spent our 3rd New Year at Red Bank and it was excellent as usual - even the very wet weather conditions didn't spoil our stay. George and Val have this business off to a fine art.

Can only echo everybody elses comments. Just had 2 nights stay in Room 2 (October 29th). The whole place is absolutely spotless, spacious, and extremely comfortable. Apart from our own bed, this is the first decent one we've slept in for years. The room wasn't your basic B&B layout, lovely bedding, really thick curtains, large ensuite with bath and separate...

We had a wonderful 3 days and were blessed with lovely weather. We stayed at Red Bank a few years ago and revisited every year over a 5 year period. Val and George have taken over since we visited last, and they are lovely people. They are very hospitable and the food is great. In the past we have stayed... More

Not a lot new to say really - as other reviews have said, this is a top quality establishment, in a great spot just outside the centre of Ambleside, with many restaaurants within 5 minutes walk, and Lake Windemere only 10 minutes away. There is off-raoad parking. The B&B was spotless, the hosts freindly and helpful, the breakfast excellent, the... More
