Lovely central B&B

Fabulous location and lovely B&B with parking included. Breakfast was very tasty without being too heavy leaving room for more of the culinary delights Ambleside has to offer. We had fabulous weather when we were there so suffered a little bit from the heat at night but there was a little fan which helped somewhat but missed my own cool duvet from home

We'd like to keep the Townhouse a secret so we can book again! It is a lovely B&B and very reasonable value, centrally located within Ambleside. There is also a delicious breakfast with a good range of choices.

Great B&B for your stay in the Lake District. The room was very spacious, and the staff very friendly. Parking was a little tight but if you get there early enough you should be ok with one of the wider spaces.
