We stayed at Far Nook for one night prior to the Easter Bank Holiday and were very impressed. Arriving early we were greeted by tea, coffee and cakes. Marion and Tony recommended some great places to go especially the Italian where we had a fantastic meal. Our room and separate bathroom were of a very high standard and I loved... More

A delightful B&B with meticulous attention to detail in every nook - near or far. Comfortable and conveniently located to start your lakeland walk straight from the door or for the joys of Ambleside's many restaurants and outdoor stores.

We stayed four nights over the Easter weekend and could not have been happier with our choice of accommodation. On arrival, Marian's greeting was warm and friendly and whilst we unpacked she supplied fresh coffee and cake. Our room and en-suite were immaculately clean and had all the essentials that one might need. Breakfasts were excellent and a credit to... More

My wife and I have been staying at Far Nook on and off for about 10 years and we feel our most recent stay has been the best. It is a super guest house. Its quality and location stand out. It has a luxury feel we have not found elsewhere. We had the twin room overlooking the garden. It had... More

We stayed two days. The Attention to detail was faultless. In fact it was so nice I felt I had to tidy up and not leave mess. The owner was a lovely lady and the breakfast was excellent. only fault as everywhere in the lake district a bit expensive

Stayed here this weekend. Lovely, clean, cosy and inviting. Fab host. Breakfast delicious. And great location. Only 5 mins walk into the village, 15-20 mins walk to the Lake. We'll be back again, for sure.

It is difficult to find original superlatives to describe our three night stay at Far Nook as they all seem to have been employed in previous reviews. However . . . Spotlessly clean, warm, inviting, tasteful decor, and mine hosts Marian and Tony attentive, informative, friendly yet unobtrusive. Marian's pointers to good eating in Ambleside proved to be spot on... More
