Our recent stay at Wanslea was a very pleasant one, our room being comfortable and spotlessly clean. The breakfast menu had lots of choice, including kippers which were delicious! We were able to park in Wanslea's own parking area, which is an added bonus in Ambleside, and it is only a short stroll into the town centre. The proprietor is... More

We stayed at this lovely B & B on the 14 & 15 April 2013. We stayed in the Africa themed room which was fantastic. The room was really spacious with a great comfortable bed and had a spa bath which was great after a long walk. The room was exceptionally clean as well as the rest of the house.... More

Arrived in Ambleside on my own at 4pm on a Wednesday with nowhere to stay & found this gem of a guest house. Very clean comfortable room & good value with a enjoyable breakfast included. Car park spaces for four cars. A five minute walk from the town. I would stay here again.
