Booked purely on the reviews from this website (as we do often) and they are correct. Superb location and spotlessly clean. Dave & Brenda are excellent hosts and must be very proud of the reputation that their B&B is gaining. When we stayed the majority of guests there were repeat visitors and we booked there and then again for August.... more

Just come back from 2 nights stay. Loved the Riverside. Our room was excellent - nicely furnished, very clean and everything you needed. Breakfast is excellent - very good quality indeed. Dave and Brenda are very helpful and suggested walks, restaurants etc. We loved the location - a 5 minute walk and you are in Ambleside which was great for... more

If you are looking for a perfect B&B in the lakes, this is the B&B for you. From start to finish we where made to feel so very at home. On arriving we where greeted by David & Brenda and shown up to our fabulous room, complete with four poster bed and spa bath, overlooking the river to the front... more

Just returned from a 2 day break at Riverside, the place is absolutely fantastic. Brenda and Dave are the perfect hosts, and Dylan the dog is very friendly. Dave helped us chose a lovely relaxing walk and they are both really knowledgeable to help with whatever you want to know. Nothing is too much trouble. The breakfasts are really good,... more

We have just return from a weekend break at the Riverside Hotel. Both of us being slightly obsessive with hygiene were slighty apprehensive having not stayed at a B&B before, but the riverside exceeded our expections. Our room and indeed the rest of the hotel was lovely (home from home). David and Brenda were there to greet us on our... more

We have just returned from a two night stay at the Riverside Hotel in Ambleside, Lake District and wished we had been able to stay longer. The hotel is set along a small river neatly tucked away on a small driveway just off the main route into Ambleside. The hotel is a wonderful dry stone building with outstanding character. The... more

It's rare to find a hotel where the hosts give you such a lovely and warm welcome! The room, with its fourposter bed and spa bath, was fantastic, with lots of lovely little touches, like some fresh roses in a vase. The breakfast, especially the daily changing home made speciality bread, was excellent (for carnivores as well as veggies). If... more

Arrived at the riverside and was welcomed by both owners with suggestions for local walks and nice places to eat for the evening. The B+B was rather like a small hotel, very cosy and comfortable but plenty of room away from other guests. Breakfast was perfect and David was always around to offer help when required. I strongly recommend this... more
