I stayed here for three nights with my 77 year old mother. We were pleased to find a hotel in the Lake District with single rooms at single prices. The ensuite rooms were quite small but comfortable. The towels were unusually big and fluffy. The excellent breakfast was served in an elegant dining room. This is in the heart of... more

Having booked to stay at the Smallwood I looked on trip advisor and then wondered if I had made a mistake. How wrong I was, the owners and staff could not have been nicer or more helpful, my room was pleasant, warm and comfortable and I had a breakfast as good as any. I began to wonder if I was... more

My husband and I stayed here for a midweek break. We found the owner and staff very friendly and polite. We were very pleased with our room, clean, tidy and nicely decorated we had an en-suite which had under floor heating which made a journey to the bathroom during the night all the more pleasant, the room also benefited from... more

HORRIBLE PLACE !!!! This has to be the worst place i've ever stayed at and probably the worst holiday break I've ever had. The place is an absolute dump with awful seedy looking rooms. The people that ran were totally unfriendly, cold, unhelpful and rude not to mention hostile. Its based in an nightmare area for parking and has to... more

We spent 2 nights at this B & B and we were very satisfied. Due to us seeking pet friendly accommodation, our choice is always limited but this matched our expectations. A warm cosy room with a clean and well furbished bathroom ( a good shower which is always high on my list). The breakfast was fine and the staff... more

Booked this hotel as weekend birthday treat for my wife. Rang the day before to confirm check in time but upon arrival was informed no parking available as car park was being resurfaced. Expressed our concerns to owners who abruptly informed us of alternative parking in builders yard twenty minutes walk away. The room was very small and tired looking... more

Stayed here for a weekend break, to do a bit of walking, site seeing and to experience the lakes. Very good location in the centre of the town, with car parking included (which was a little limited and involved moving cars around a bit to let people out, but was never a problem). Good, clean rooms, very small bathroom but... more

My friend & I decided a post-xmas long weekend away (3 nights)was in order and the place we normally stay in Ambleside was booked up - we needed a twin room. After looking through the internet we found the details for Smallwood House and as it was in a central location and offered a twin room at reasonable rates, decided... more

This is a very nice B&B. The owners are very pleasant and obliging. Nicely decorated, clean and tidy in an excellent and central part of town, no noticeable street noise. Breakfast was fine. The bed was very comfortable. My only other comments would be that it wasn't outstanding in any way from the other B&B's, there were no little personal... more
