What a welcome from Tim. We arrived around 7.30pm on the friday and had a warm friendly hello and chat with Tim on arrival, and the best part was a lovely cuppa waiting for us all. Relaxing lounge and wonderful views. Our room overlooked Lough Rhigg, wow. Breakfast was nice and the girls that served there were also friendly, very... More

This B and B has 113 reviews none of which is less than 4 stars. I endorse every word said about the place and its staff. The staff are great. The rooms are comfortable and considerable thought has gone into making you as comfortable as possible. If in Ambleside this is the place to stay.

We have just retuned home from a two night stay at Haven Cottage and we didn't want to come home. We were welcomed by Christina offering us tea and cake on arrival, we sat in the sitting room and enjoyed the surroundings. We were then shown to our room which was suite 8. I can say that it's a beautiful... More

As with all the other reviews this guest house is really nice and well located. We too were met with cakes and tea on arrival and the owner is really friendly and obliging. The place is spotlessly clean and the breakfast is really nice with home baked bread. The staff are really nice and very polite. So why enter with... More

We stayed in Ambleside for one night on the way to Scotland and chose to stay here as it was close to Ambleside and the decor appealed. We arrived around 5pm on the saturday night and were greeted with cakes and coffee, and then shown to our room which was tastefully decorated, and had a great view. The bath was... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights over the Easter weekend. We were in Ambleside for 4 nights in total but had plans to stay with family in a cottage down the road on two of the nights - so, confusingly, the two nights we stayed weren't consecutive nights! Instead we stayed, went away again and then came... More
