I've stayed at Compston House a few times over the last three years and it has always been a model of consistant excellence. The welcome coudn't be warmer, the rooms are always super clean and there is a regular programme of updating well before things become tired. Breakfast is something else - perfect food, pleanty of it and a system... more

We have just returned from 3 magical days in the Lake District staying at the equally magical Compston House. Sue and Jerry made our stay just perfect- the themed rooms were so tastefully decorated, they were amazing and the breakfast pancakes were to die for! We would recommend this lovely, friendly bed and breakfast to anyone- and cannot wait to... more

Although the weather proved to be disappointing the owners of Compston House provided a little ray of sunshine. Sue and Jerry certainly have the personalities to run this succesful guest house. From the initial greeting to final departures they could not have been more helpful. They somehow managed to remember everyones first name which made circumstances more personalised. We had... more

What a lovely place, right in the heart of Ambleside. Jerry and Sue were the perfect hosts and the breakfasts were lovely. You certainly did not need to eat again untill the evening!!! Sue's blueberry muffins were lovely. Thank you Jerry and Sue. more

Wonderful! We found a very wet Lake District in August didn't dampen our spirits and a large part of that was due to Compston House. Sue and Jerry are the most wonderful people, who greet you with the warmest welcome, and never let their hosipitality slip for a moment. The B&B was ideally situated in the heart of Ambleside, amongst... more

Had a midweek break at Compston House in Ambleside. This B&B is ideally situated, with lovely views over Todd's Crag and easy access to the main road to Keswick. The house is spotlessly clean and airy. But the main plus ... Sue and Gerry, the owners. Hugely welcoming. And, of course, the breakfasts. You are almost challenged to take on... more

We had two rather small rooms - which felt rather claustrophobic, with limited storage and very small ensuite. The bed was very comfortable, with lots of soft pillows & cushions, and the room was clean. The warmth of the welcome was extremely friendly and appreciated. There is a nicely decorated resident’s lounge and breakfast room – but bizarrely we were... more

This was my first trip to the Lakes so I had no experience of accomodation or location. This B&B was a perfect location - right in the heart of AMbleside so a short stroll to some great restaurants and little shops. The owners Sue and Jerry were the friendliest hosts of any B&B I have experienced. They were very informative... more

The % of 5 star reviews here is remarkable but well deserved. Sue and Jerry are excellent hosts. Their hospitality and attention to detail is unsurpassed from my experience. I certainly endorse the high praise of other reviewers. In fact they seem to have covered pretty much everything you need to know about the Compston. It's difficult to see how... more

Sue and Jerry have to be the friendliest most welcoming hosts in Ambleside. They greeted us on arrival like family friends and took the time to chat and ask about our journey and if we needed a drink before we headed off for an evening meal,that was after giving us a list of places to eat and advice about booking... more
