We stayed two nights for our friends wedding and Steve was a brilliant host, the place was perfectly located for us and had everything we needed, and we took advantage of his restaurant recommendations too which were both extremely good!!!(Zeffirellis and Ishaahs). The breakfasts each morning were fantastic and great quality!!! Our stay was excellent, Steve’s a top man….

Hillsdale was a joy and delight, in an excellent location with great off Road parking. The BnB was spotlessly clean, rooms were homely and cosy all topped off with a great breakfast! Steve and Caz were the best hosts and couldn’t do enough for you. Highly recommend!

The car park is some way away from the house. The bedroom we had was small and the shower room was quite remarkable in that it was such a small space but was perfectly adequate.

We had a wonderfully relaxed and welcoming stay at Hillside Ambleside. Steve was incredibly friendly and had a fantastic sense of humour even after the mighty Liverpool beat his beloved West Ham 5–2. Breakfast was delicious, beautifully presented, and a perfect start to the day. We’ll definitely be staying again next time we’re in Ambleside. Up the Hammers!! ⚒️

I had a lovely stay at Hillsdale - Steve and Caz were fantastic hosts who couldn't be more helpful, the room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was a great way to get the day started. It's located really close to all the local amenities, there's great walks on the doorstep and the bus stop is a couple of minutes walk if you want to go further.

Hillsdale

We enjoyed our stay at Hillsdale very much. The B&B was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated and furnished. Steve and Kaz were very pleasant and friendly and looked after us very well. There was a good choice for breakfast. It was convenient having free parking nearby and it was well located for all the restaurants and shops in Ambleside.
