Lovely stay in this B&B in Ambleside. So convenient for getting around and parking was available for residents. Owners Sue and Jerry were very warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Knowing I was pregnant they took extra care to ensure my breakfast was to my liking. And what a breakfast! When we go away, my husband and... More

This was our second visit to Compston House and we will definitely be back!! Sue and Jerry give such a warm welcome and are happy to go out of their way to ensure you have a perfect stay. We came to stay at Ambleside as it was close to the start of the Windermere marathon, which was on the Sunday... More

This B&B rates highly but I think it is due to the fact that after having been given a warm welcome by Sue and Jerry people do not wish to leave negative comments. I have stayed in Ambleside on many occasions therefore appreciate all it has to offer. The B&B does have good points therefore I have not given it... More

My husband and I returned from Ambleside only a couple of days ago. We had an amazing time. It was my husband's birthday and I am really glad we stayed at Compston House. We stayed at other places in Ambleside before but this one was the best. It was very central and with parking. Our room (we stayed in Florida)... More

I went to stay in Ambleside because of a residency program I had to do with Cumbria University and staying at Compston House just made everything easier. It was like coming home at night, and the friendly atmosphere at breakfast would put anyone in a good mood. The food was top-notch and the bed was very comfortable. I recommend it... More

What a wonderful warm welcome we received from our perfect hosts Sue & Jerry - we could not have asked for more. The home cooked and over generous breakfasts with so many choice options were outstanding - especially the fresh baked muffins on Sunday. A delightful place to stay and in walking distance of some amazing restaurants and pubs for... More

Absolutely wonderful. It's a lovely B&B in a great spot with two of the most welcoming, friendly and attentive hosts. The rooms are immaculate and the breakfasts are worth the trip alone (especially Sue's pancakes). I can't recommend it enough. Really enjoyed my stay and it's very refreshing having two people make you feel so welcome! Thank you Sue and... More

From the first phone call to check availability to the follow-up email to make sure we got home safely, staying with Sue and Jerry was like being hosted by old friends. With our driving holiday going pear-shaped 60 miles from Ambleside, Sue and Jerry gave us suggestions for alternate transport, a taxi number, eating suggestions, and welcomed us with a... More

Sue & Jerry were fantastic hosts for a wonderful 4 night stay here. Loved every minute, and can't wait to return. Pancakes for breakfast were just fantastic - and you can't really find a better location in Ambleside. 2 minute walk to any restaurant in Ambleside. (We recommend Dodds). Lovely views of the hills from our room, and a delight... More
