Lovely B&B, beautifully appointed and perfectly located. The owners are really friendly, and the breakfast excellent. The bonus of off-site parking was ideal as parking in Ambleside is understandably difficult. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved our stay at Melrose Guest House, fantastic location, it was spotlessly clean, breakfast was amazing, and nothing was too much trouble! We wanted to run the local Parkrun, and weren’t going to be available during breakfast times, so a breakfast tray was organised for us to enjoy later in the morning when we got back. Will definitely stay again if we return to the area.

The perfect place to stay. We stayed in Room 2 and it was beautiful, very spacious and comfortable. Bed was so comfy, en-suite was wonderful - has the best shower. Breakfast was a highlight, chosen the night before with so many options, we were spoiled for choice, and that’s how we felt very spoiled. Tracey and Kevin are the perfect hosts, friendly, kind, welcoming and knowledgeable about the area which is very helpful. The house is perfectly situated in a quiet part of Ambleside but everything is within walking distance from shops to crazy golf. We hope to return again soon. (Photos of bed taken on day we left - it was perfect when we arrived)

Just what I needed
Kevin and Tracey were the perfect hosts. I booked the room very short notice after arriving in Ambleside but was greeted by Kevin who showed me where to park, my room, and pointed out the best pubs and restaurants to visit in the evening. I used the secure parking down the road which was handy (Not sure what I selected on the parking section of the previous page of this review as the options were blank for some reason). Room was perfect for my needs, very clean, comfortable bed, and all the amenities I required for my short stay, the bathroom was also very clean and modern. Breakfast was my favourite part of the stay, it was just what I needed before climbing Helvellyn. I would have loved to have stayed another night but needed to get home. I would definitely stay again next time I am in Ambleside, thank you!

Great location, couple of minutes walk from the restaurants. The breakfast was excellent, clearly using best quality produce. There's an EV charging point just around the corner. The guesthouse parking is about 5 mins walk away by the main carpark.

Easily the best
After staying in many bed and breakfasts in Ambleside this is by far the best one. Nothing was ever any trouble and the knowledge of the local area was second to none. Free parking and a wonderful breakfast what more could you want. This is now my go to bed and breakfast in Ambleside. Thank you again for a lovely stay.
