We loved staying at the Elder Grove! Lovely room with a comfortable bed. On the main street, but outside noise never bothered us. The location makes it very walkable around Ambleside. Nice extra touches in the room like cookies and cocoa. The 'Herdy' mugs made me smile and the toilet paper has the ouline of little dogs imprinted on it. Breakfast had a nice selection of cold items, including homemade granola which was excellent. Made to order hot items. Andrea was very warm and welcoming.

Excellent 5*

One of the best B&B's I have ever stayed, helpful, friendly with nothing too much trouble. Bed/bathroom bright, clean & modern. Unusual in B&B's there were 2 comfortable lounges and honesty bar. Breakfast was outstanding and my only negative, the parking was tight & needed care. Property close to town and lake. Gg

A Gem

What a gem of a B&B. Spotless and really comfortable rooms with lovely touches. Cracking breakfast and the most lovely of people/owners who work hard to ensure their guests have all that they need.

A small B&B but everything is done to perfection. My room had a lovely view of the mountain & church. The bed was comfy, everything was spotlessly cleaned. Breakfasts were always well-prepared and the best of what we had for our entire trip including our stay at much bigger hotels. We had a little problem finding the parking lot the first day. I walked in and checked with Giles how to circle back. Without asking, when we drove back, Giles had already hung out in the front waiting to help us to park our car. Giles and Andrea were always busy, but they never refused to answer questions or offer help. Thank you very much for the pleasant stay!

Great place

This B&B was booked for its proximity to the Rugby club for a party, and we didn’t want to camp, or drive home. However, I travel a lot for work and this is place that has got it right (better than many 4 star hotels) there are usb port and sockets at the bedside tables, large towels. Plenty of milk and tea and coffee (bag - not instant). Smart clean bathroom, without bottles screwed to the wall. And breakfast was fabulous (and I normally don’t eat a full engish from the warming plate in big places but here it was freshly cooked and high quality local ingredients, (there was a vegy option with hulloumi) and the fruit was good as well (not a frozen berry in sight) Genuinely one of the better places I have stayed this year

Very nice Bed and Breakfast. The proprietor is very kind and service oriented. The single room was spotless, comfy and nicely decorated. Well stocked tea and coffee options in the room. There is even more in the aisle if you somehow run out. Onsite parking was nice to have.

Excellent stay all around. The couple who run this place were friendly, professional, and very helpful. And they cooked the best English breakfast we've ever had! Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a wonderful view. Really the best of experience. We will return soon hopefully.

Great location and lovely couple managing guest house, with a superb breakfast. Only comment was room (11) was a tad on small size with no air conditioning (it was a really hot couple of days and being at top of hotel was very hot at night).

Lovely B&B a few minutes walk to the centre. The owners are super friendly and the room was very comfortable and large with ncie views of some of the surrounding hills. Very good breakfast. Easy parking on site or the road just round the corner from the hotel. Would recommend and would stay again
