This family-managed B & B was a delightful find! The beds in our family room were very comfortable and our every need was met by the friendly staff. The house is grand, and its picturesque setting, with pool, will draw us back to visit Ambleside again. more

What a find! Lovely welcome, lovely location, nice room, super facilities. I stumbled on the Old Vicarage whilst 'surfing' but will be back again. Ambleside is wonderful and the best place to stay has got to be The Old Vicarage, but ..... what do I know ?you might not like it (or if too many people like it I might... more

We have just come back from a weekend stay here and were not disappointed. We have a young daughter and had booked a suite which had a separate room for her, and was big enough for her to roam around quite happily (we brought our own travel cot, and there would probably have been room for two cots in the... more

This was my first visit and will certainly not be my last. Stayed for 2 nights and everything was perfect. The owners and staff were wonderful, couldn't do enough for you.

Probably the most hospitable place we have stayed. The owners and staff could not do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. The family room is very spacious with a beautiful bathroom. It has a jacuzzi style bath and large shower cubicle. The complimentary dressing gowns and slippers were ideal for use in the pool area which is very... more

We have been visiting the Old Vicarage in Ambleside since 2001. We started by going for a long weekend and gradually have extended our visits to a full week. We arrived home today after our second week long stay this year. Yes, we could probably travel abroad cheaper but that's not the kind of holiday we enjoy. Please do not... more
