My partner and i stayed at the Hillsdale for just one night on New Years Eve and were very impressed with the welcoming reception we received, the parking space that was available in a private car park and the cleanliness and tasteful decoration of the red room we stayed in. There was a comfy bed, nice sized en suite which... More

My husband and I returned to visit Hillsdale again in October and had a great stay. We have stayed in several rooms now and we like them all, but we really like having a king size bed and flat screen TV. The rooms are always so lovely and warm and you can regulate the heat. George and Ann are great... More

This is a bed and breakfast house close to the town centre. The hosts are friendly and the room very tastefully decorated and tidy. The hosts have some off street parking further down the road. We didn't have difficulty finding a park outside the house on the road in order to off-load our bags. Full English breakfast is included in... More

Having travelled some distance to get to Hillsdale it was so lovely to be greeted by George and welcomed to this lovely B&B. Having made a request not to have the "red" room we were shown to our beautiful green room. The room was warm and had everything that you would need for a few days away from home. George... More

We stayed here at Hillsdale for two nights last weekend with friends & family and found this B&B excellent. There was a warm welcome at reception when we arrived accompanied by great advice for eating out and general guidance to make our short stay all the more fulfilling. George was full of useful and local information and a really nice... More

We came to stay for 3 nights with our 6 month old baby, and George, Ann and their staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. They lent us a small fridge for our babies food and milk, and were very relaxed about her throwing it around their dining room. There is a parking space a short walk from... More

We stayed here for a week in August, our second stay in lovely Ambleside and Hillsdale. We stayed in the large bay fronted window room at the front which was fantastic. A great room with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. You also have the benefit of off street parking close by. The breakfast every morning was... More

We arrived in the area about 7pm and were looking for somewhere to stay at a reasonable price. This was the 3rd guesthouse we visited and as soon as George came to reception to meet us we immediately felt he was a warm and genuine guy. The instant we saw the warm and cosy room available we took it! We... More

My fiancé and I stayed here from a Sunday to a Tuesday for a relaxing break in the lakes. This is exactly what we got. Hillsdale is in a great location in Ambleside; very central and a couple of minutes walk from pubs, restaurants and shops. The room and bathroom was clean and cosy and the whole B&B had a... More
