My wife and I have just returned from a four night stay at the Brantfell in Ambleside. Although we have stayed in plenty of hotels and B&B's, I think it is fair to say how we have never felt so welcomed as at the Brantfell. The hosts, Jane and Chris are a fantastic couple, and will go out of their... more

Myself and my partner spend every Easter holiday in the Lake District and in the past have paid large amounts to stay in hotels that bump up the prices simply because its a bank holiday weeekend but this time we were not ripped off! This year we decided to stay in the heart of Ambleside and were overcome with the... more

Carlsberg don't do Lakeland B&B's, but if they did it then Brantfell would be their "Special Brew". I've been staying there since 1992 and it just gets better and better! No doubt the Best Breakfast in Lakeland, great informal hospitality from the owners Chris & Jane, and following the recent refurb rooms you'd only normally expect in a 4* hotel.... more

It has always been excellent ; the rooms are realy comfortable are spotlessly cleaned to a very high standard. Excellent central location with parking. You are served the most amazing breakfasts - traditional cooked breakfast - also omelettes, smoked salmon, kippers or pancakes... more

I have stayed at this B&B many times over recent years and have enjoyed every visit. The breakfasts really are great with a much better selection than most B&Bs. The owners are genuinely friendly and keep the place very clean. I have stayed at other B&Bs in the lakes over the years but none of them have quite managed to... more

Friendly and helpful hosts. Truly awesome breakfasts - as well as the usual traditional cooked breakfast you can choose from omelettes, smoked salmon, kippers or pancakes. Plus fresh... more
