A Gem

What a gem of a B&B. Spotless and really comfortable rooms with lovely touches. Cracking breakfast and the most lovely of people/owners who work hard to ensure their guests have all that they need.

Very nice Bed and Breakfast. The proprietor is very kind and service oriented. The single room was spotless, comfy and nicely decorated. Well stocked tea and coffee options in the room. There is even more in the aisle if you somehow run out. Onsite parking was nice to have.

Lovely stay at Elder Grove. Comfortable and quiet. Would never know you are in the middle of Ambleside. Breakfast excellent too.

Great, friendly and accommodating. My only disappointment was I had to leave too early on my 2nd day to have the cooked breakfast, which was delicious the 1st day, with good quality local produce that tasted amazing.

Great place

This B&B was booked for its proximity to the Rugby club for a party, and we didn’t want to camp, or drive home. However, I travel a lot for work and this is place that has got it right (better than many 4 star hotels) there are usb port and sockets at the bedside tables, large towels. Plenty of milk and tea and coffee (bag - not instant). Smart clean bathroom, without bottles screwed to the wall. And breakfast was fabulous (and I normally don’t eat a full engish from the warming plate in big places but here it was freshly cooked and high quality local ingredients, (there was a vegy option with hulloumi) and the fruit was good as well (not a frozen berry in sight) Genuinely one of the better places I have stayed this year

Overnight Stay

Lovely hotel with superb hosts Matt and Lucy. Our overnight stay was brilliant. Our room (11) was sparkling clean with everything you could want. A good selection of tea and coffee plus biscuits. The bathroom was lovely with a deep bath and plenty of hot water. Breakfast was was hot and tasty and also a selection of cereals, yogurts etc. Would definitely recommend.

Superb

Best b and b we have stayed in in Ambleside by a mile! Spotlessly clean, beautifully laid out and excellent attention to detail. Breakfast was superb and the added Jura coffee machine at breakfast to make coffees of your choice was an excellent idea. We will definitely be returning as we were made to feel very welcome and it was like home from home.

Excellent 5*

One of the best B&B's I have ever stayed, helpful, friendly with nothing too much trouble. Bed/bathroom bright, clean & modern. Unusual in B&B's there were 2 comfortable lounges and honesty bar. Breakfast was outstanding and my only negative, the parking was tight & needed care. Property close to town and lake. Gg

Excellent all around -- esp. the breakfast!

Excellent stay all around. The couple who run this place were friendly, professional, and very helpful. And they cooked the best English breakfast we've ever had! Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a wonderful view. Really the best of experience. We will return soon hopefully.

8/10 Very good

Great location

Great location and lovely couple managing guest house, with a superb breakfast. Only comment was room (11) was a tad on small size with no air conditioning (it was a really hot couple of days and being at top of hotel was very hot at night).

Lovely B&B a few minutes walk to the centre. The owners are super friendly and the room was very comfortable and large with ncie views of some of the surrounding hills. Very good breakfast. Easy parking on site or the road just round the corner from the hotel. Would recommend and would stay again

Andrea really is the perfect hostess. She made us feel so important and showed much concern for the comfort of her guests. Giles and Andrea together make the best B n B breakfasts ever. We totally loved our stay at Elder Grove and would love to come back someday!

Top accommodation

Giles and Andrea run a tight ship with the friendliest of service and highest standards. The B&B is situated in the heart of Amblside with on site parking! A boon. I would thoroghly recommend it for a stay in the Lakes..
