A lovely little B+B, super clean, friendly owners and an excellent breakfast!
Our second time staying and everything was excellent , attention to detail was exemplary , literally perfect in every way . Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again .
Thank you to Giles and Andrea
We had a suite which was beautifully appointed, everything you could need, it was clean and comfortable with lovely products in the bathroom and plenty of hot water. The breakfast was wonderful, it is only served for an hour but well worth it.
The property has convenient parking and easy walk to shops,pubs and restaurants. Hosts were lovely.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Enjoyed the breakfast and super clean room.
Lovely B&B in Ambleside, super friendly staff, lovely room and breakfast was great. Property had a good carpark, some of which is out of site of the road which was good for us as we had bikes on the back. As it’s on the main road traffic can be quite noisy but they cannot help the location of the place, it was very convenient being close to everything.
This property is in an excellent location and makes a great base from which to explore Ambleside. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. The breakfast was excellent.
room was clean and a very good size, breakfast was excellent as were the staff, parking can be a little tricky to manoeuvre but it is possible, we will more than likely return soon as the location was ideal for the centre and for walks.
Second stay at Elder Grove, and loved it as much as the first time! Super clean and comfortable. I slept well every night, and breakfast was wonderful. Be sure to try the Orange Marmalade, it’s outstanding! On top of everything else the staff was warm and welcoming. The service was excellent. I highly recommend!
