This was our second stay at Sue and Jerry's excellent B&B. The welcome was as warm and friendly the second time as it was on the first. You're treated like a friend rather than a guest. Everything you've read about the breakfasts is true and the eggy bread gives the pancakes a run for their money! The rooms are clear... more

We stayed with Jerry and Sue for a joint celebration (boyfriends' birthday and our anniversary), as we didn't want to travel far from sunny West Cumbria and wanted to treat ourselves in a location great for walking and plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. The Ambleside American - style Compston House B&B fulfilled all of the above. Both... more

Breakfast options were just like being in America, every choice available, good quality and plentiful. Very... more
