We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Amboseli Lodge on our short trip up to the Lakes. The room was very nicely furnished and the bathroom was extremely modern. Both were impeccably clean. Gwen and Reg were both very welcoming and gave us good advice on the local area. The breakfast menu has good variety and both our cooked breakfasts and... More

Amboseli Lodge was a pleasant place to stay for a 3 night trip to the lakes. We stayed in the Wansfell room which was large, with a spacious bathroom. The bed was comfortable, with options for soft and hard pillows. Breakfast was nice - a good choice of items and the bacon, eggs and sausages were high quality local produce.... More

Following the discovery of worn wheel bearings on our caravan and having a meal booked for at the Drunken Duck in Ambleside we were forced to look for alternative accommodation. We found Amboseli Lodge. WOW! Cleaner than many hotels we have stayed in and the welcome was fantastic. Leave your wet boots downstairs (so as not to sully Gwen's carpets)... More

Gwen and Reg Gibson run a lovely, warm, immaculately clean, inviting and hospitable B&B in Ambleside, which is a lovely town in the heart of the Lake District. In addition and which is of no lesser importance, Gwen and Reg, are the most friendly, forthcoming and helpful people one shall meet which made our stay with them ten fold enjoyable.... More

Stayed 2 nights here to explore some of the walking routes. Excellent B&B for a home base, close to shops, pubs, and the start of the Fairfield Horseshoe walk. We came back from a day out, quite wet. Our boots were looked after and were dried by the next day. Definitely would stay here again.

An absolutely wonderful little gem of a B&B. My partner and myself only stayed for two nights but were made immediately to feel welcome and at home. We stayed in the Fairfield room which although the smallest room was more than ample with a well sized en-suite bathroom. Everything was spotless (ultra spotless) and of good quality. Breakfast was superb,... More

If there is a more welcoming, friendly, helpful B&B in Ambleside then go there but I don't think there is anywhere better than here. From the moment you arrive you are made welcome, the rooms are comfortable and well equipped, the breakfast is tasty and the owners are so helpful. Highly recommended. Location is excellent, a minute's walk from town.
