Stephen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good before, excellent now

We last stayed 9 years ago, and liked the location and the room. Since then, the new owners have spruced it up - we stayed in the same room and it retains it's character while benefitting from an ultra modern, pristine bathroom alongside the tastefully refreshed decor. In addition, you're now given a parking permit which can be used around many nearby towns (you might need to ask for it). Lovely breakfast, lovely people.
Philip, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A well kept B&B run by a lovely, friendly couple. Only a short walk from Ambleside and very close to a bus stop with frequent buses all through the central Lakes.
Robert, 2-night trip

A very friendly welcome. Easy check-in. Dining options explained including excellent choices. Very clean and tidy room and ensuite. All the expected facilities. Comfortable bed and no noise from other guests. Breakfast was very good. Good portions served quickly and attentively. Would highly recommend. When I'm in the area again this will be my first choice.

William, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at the Wanslea on a short motorcycle trip to Ambleside. The rooms were spotless and the building is in an excellent location. A member of our party was staying in another hotel but the owners of the Wanslea were kind enough to accommodate him for breakfast. The entire experience was lovely and the owners were incredibly welcoming. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Lovely place and friendly owners

Excellent guest house. We stayed in the king-sized room which was decently sized and had a recently refurbished bathroom. The room was spacious, airy, and bright. The place was lovely and we met one of the owners, Steve, who was an absolutely excellent host, incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely interested in his guests. His delightful conversations and willingness to share invaluable local tips truly enhanced our experience. The breakfast which was included in the reservation was delicious and tasty. The rooms came with kettle and tea bags with milk pots and sugar. There was free parking in nearby car park which was 2 mins walk away from the hotel.
