Really enjoyed my stay here. The accomodation was great, and the couple who run it couldn't have been more friendly, decent and eager to please. Located in the centre of Ambleside - very close to all the amenities, yet very quiet and relaxing. My room was cosy (in the homely, not the cramped sense of the word), and clean with... more

We have once again had a great weekend in the lake district staying at the Rysdale. The welcome was very warm and friendly from Allan who once again showed us to our beautiful room. The room was cleaned to a very high standard and everything in it was perfect. We sat in the guest lounge on a evening for a... more

The problems started when I arrived to be told the on-drive parking space I had booked had been promised to 3 other guests. Given the parking problems in Ambleside this is a nightmare! The room was so small there wasn't much space for me to get in once I'd put my kit in! The hot tap produced very little water... more

The Rysdale is a warm and welcoming haven in an otherwise frosty little town. It is very welcoming and it is absolutely spotless. The rooms are very well appointed and the decor is lovely. I wish all B&Bs were like this! Once outside the Rysdale, however, we found the atmosphere in Ambleside very unwelcoming. The White Lion Hotel in particular... more

We booked through a third party and when the email came back from the b & b to confirm our booking the dates were wrong, a quick phone call to the b & b soon resolved this and our booking was... more

The rooms are lovely especially room 6 by far the best!! the breakie was lovely fresh fruit yogurt and cereal... more

We booked The Rysdale at short notice for a short break. Before booking we notified the owner that we would be bringing bicycles. He noted that this wouldn't be a problem, as we could chain them to a railing outside the B&B, and that they'd be outwith the view of the road. When we arrived, this was true. However, the... more

Situated on Rothay Road, very near the centre of Amblseside, the Rysdale Hotel is a very clean and well run B&B. We were allocated a superior double room at £38ppn, which looked out over the pitch & putt and bowling green. The room overlooked the main road which could cause problems with traffic noise at night. Parking can be awkward... more
