2nd visit. Accommodation remains small but very nice/clean with a good English breakfast. Unfortunately however my car was left in the public car park (passes provided by guest house) and was vandalised overnight (yes it really does happen in Ambleside). In future will, as previously done, ensure that I book accommodation that provides off road and (more) secure parking which... more

This was our second stay at this B&B and we were pleased to find that it continued to deliver in terms of service and presentation. What could make it better? Newer, bigger towels and maybe more upmarket toiletries (Molton Brown or White Company perhaps), but really this is meant as feedback and not criticism. Anyway, a very pleasant visit. Thank... more

We turned up expecting great things and left a little disappointed. Maybe it was staying in other "luxury" B&Bs but we thought the quality could have been raised slightly - especially at £100 per night. The website is great but it does make the rooms look much bigger than they actually are and access up the windy stairs was an... more

We have just returned from a weekend at the Wheelhouse in Ambleside. The room was gorgeous, the breakfast was delicious, and the people could not have been more welcoming. We will definitely be going back. more

We stayed at the guesthouse before moving on to Scotland for the rest of our honeymoon and of all the places we stayed and some were lovely, this was by far the best. It was so romantic and a couple got engaged when we were there. Its just that sort of place. Paul doesn't interfere but is there if you... more

Lovely...

The waterwheel is in an excellent location in the heart of Ambleside with lots of character and charm. The rooms are lovely (we got to have a peak in all three) and all appropriately priced depending on your choice of room. We stayed in the Rattleghill with the heavenly deep claw footed bath with endless hot water, perfect for after... more

The Waterwheel guesthouse is situated down a narrow cobbled passageway and next to a stream which runs through the village. The eponymous (stationery and badly neglected) waterwheel is actually attached to a building on the opposite side of a small stream. Car parking is a problem and is a short walk away in the village centre car park though you... more

A good find

We stayed in the Stockghyll room - a lovely green (and therefore very calming!) room with a view of the waterwheel. Really spacious bathroom (loved the heated floor!), friendly hosts and tasty home-cooked breakfasts. Excellent location - central, yet tucked away. All in all a good find! more
