My wife and I stayed here for two nights and we can only echo what has been said in other reviews on this site. Sue and Jerry provide a very warm welcome, a comfy bed and a breakfast full of locally-sourced ingredients which will keep you going until the evening. The decor in the public rooms is bright and fresh... more

We have just come back from a lovely weekend away in Ambleside staying at Compost Hous. From the second you set foot in the door you are made to feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. The room was lovely, bright and airy with all the comforts you need. The breakfast is awesome. Be warned you wont eat for... more

Booked this place mainly as it is one of the few which permitted single night bookings at weekend. Very friendly welcome and was shown a choice of rooms. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Our only gripe (as indicated in the title) was that breakfast was a single service at 8.30. I have never encountered this before and did not... more

This was a last-minute booking last summer and there was only one available room. Compston House is in a very convenient location for wandering around Ambleside or catching a bus. The owners, Sue and Jerry, are the most welcoming hosts we've met! Very helpful in every way. The room was very clean and had everything we needed, but was their... more

I'd often drived past this B&B with intrigue and finally tried it last year, 2007. The owners welcome was really warm, and as you'd expect from Americans, they had nailed customer service, and were lovely people. The themed rooms may seem cheesy to some, but i liked the idea and the breakfasts were truly fantastic...but be warned about those huge... more

Stayed here for a long weekend in September. The hosts are probably the most welcoming we've met in the UK. The location is really convenient for Ambleside without being noisy. The room was terrific and the Breakfast really wonderful. Thoroughly recommended. more

Just returned back today and had to write a review straight away! Loved the place totally! The room was nice and comfortable, and the Compston is located about 30 seconds from the bus stop which was good for us as we used the bus a lot to head off for walks. The breakfast is something else! Probably didn't need to... more
