This was a lovely B&B. The room was modern and spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely. We met George when we arrived but he and Ann were going on a well deserved holiday themselves. George was able to provide valuable information on places to eat and would have had plenty of ideas for walks if we had not had... more

From the friendly greeting to the wonderful breakfast on departure this was a really good BnB to spend a couple of days relaxing. Situated in the centre of Ambleside with shops and tea rooms close by we had a great time exploring this part of the lakes. George was always on hand to provide all the local information we needed... more

Thanks to George and Ann for a great stay in a beautiful part of the world. Room and breakfast both fantastic with George on hand to provide that all important information on where to go eat and drink. A beautiful BnB in a lovely setting, we will return. more

The Hillsdale offers beautifully modern, very clean and cozy rooms with fantastic views, but that's just the beginning... George and Anne are the most welcoming, helpful and informative hosts with nothing too much trouble. Breakfast is delicious with an excellent choice - the perfect start to a long days walking, cycling or just exploring the beautiful countryside in and around... more

Had great weekend staying at Hillsdale. Great location in Ambleside, lovely modern room, lovely breakfast and great service. The leisure club with its outdoor hot tub was the icing on the cake. more

We stayed for 4 nights in March 2009 and got a very warm welcome. We are regulars, having stayed at Hillsdale about 5 or 6 times now and George and Ann are very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is really good - there is a good selection with a full English breakfast and/or cereal and plenty of toast, filter coffee, tea,... more
