Ambleside Fell Rooms

"The fell rooms was an absolutely stunning place to stay in Ambleside. The rooms were incredible, so clean and well thought out. The little extras such as biscuits, a fan in the room and heated towel rails made such a positive difference in our experience.

Melrose Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Melrose Guest House was just brilliant from start to finish. There wasn’t one single thing I could find fault with. Everything was so clean and the breakfast one was of the best I have had. There was so much choice of breakfast items. Tracy and Alan are brilliant hosts. A bonus was the included secure parking area, only a couple of minutes away from the property. The guesthouse is very near to the town centre of Ambleside. Definitely stay there if you are in the area."

8/10 Good

"Impossible to rate staff as there are none Shower a little small Place was very clean and I had no problem with noise All in all I would have no qualms about staying there again The code access worked a treat"

Ambleside Guest House

8/10 Good

"It's not a bad place to spend a night or two but is pretty dated and expensive for what you get. For some reason, no bath towels were provided and instead you get four hand towels. There was also only decaf coffee. All this would be fine if it was cheap, but it's not."
