We stumbled onto this lovely B&B having not pre-booked. What a lovely place and how terrific our hosts, Christine & David, were. Not only was the place immaculate and beautifully appointed, but Christine and David made all the difference. After cooking our delicious breakfast, Christine always came to the dining room to chat with the guests, while David amused us... more

What a great place to stay, Kingswood certainly deserves the Gold Award that they recently achieved. Comfortable rooms with all the amenities that you could wish for in a " home from home", and great breakfasts. Christine & David were wonderful hosts, and have a great sense of humour. The Bee theme throughout the house adds interest to the real... more

My partner and I stayed here for a couple of days in April this year after reading the other reviews on TripAdvisor. Kingswood really is beyond critism. Extremely pleasant owners, central but quiet location, hearty breakfast, comfortable rooms, and excellent attention to detail. We would, without a doubt, stay here again. more

What an excellent place this is! We had no complaints at all and would definitely go back again. David & Christine were excellent hosts and made a real effort to help us by providing lists of restaurants ahead of our stay. The B&B is just a 5minute walk away from the centre of Ambleside but tucked away and tranqil at... more

We really enjoyed our stay at Kingswood. Both David and Christine are both very friendly and welcoming. Our room was 'Brathay' on the first floor. The bed was just so comfortable. One of the reasons we chose Kingswood was because it was near restaurants etc for an evening out, and we found it was very handy indeed. Even though it... more

Copy of email I sent to the hotel today..... Dear David & Christine, Just a little email to thank you both once again for making us so welcome at your beautiful guesthouse. It is so obvious that you both take so much pride in your, well I can't call it a business, because it is so much more than that!... more

We have just returned home from a short break in the Lakes. We chose Kingswood in Ambleside to be closer to "things to do" especially with the short days and long dark evenings in November. It was perfect. The B+B run by David and Christine is excellent. We were warmly welcomed, David had said we could arrive whenever we liked... more

This is the best b & b we have stayed at in 20 years! The hospitality, house, decor, food and service could not be bettered. They just went that extra mile to make your stay enjoyable. A lovely couple with a great sense of humour. Will definitely be going back. more

A great peaceful b+b - very cosy, hosts very friendly and place is immaculate!!! We have stayed here 3 times and look forward to many more stays in the future (if we can get a booking). Short walk into Ambleside. We love it and the honey, made by the bees in the garden. Try the walk from Ambleside to Grasmere... more
