We have just returned from a fantastic 2 day break in what can be described as the best B&B we have ever stayed. Brenda and David are brilliant hosts without imposing. Room 4 and ensuite which we stayed in was clean and fresh and we were provided with bottled water, tea, coffee and biscuits. The breakfast was the best, I am a vegetarian and I still enjoyed a full english, with beautiful homemade bread. Would not hesitate to return and highly reccommend to all.
Ambleside as some lovely eating places we tried Zefferellis 2 course meal with cinema ticket for £16.95 each, the meal was beautiful, the place had a wonderful atmosphere. We also tried Sheilas Cottage which was not the best. Other good places to try are Glass House, Lucys on a Plate and Lucy 4.

Highly recommend a stay at Riverside. Brenda and Dave were excellent hosts, and recommended walks and restaurants in Ambleside.

Location: A few minutes walk through the park, was secluded and quiet. Beautiful gardens. Loved the fact it wasn't on a road full of B&B's!
Rooms: comfortable and spotlessly clean - lovely view of the hillside:
Breakfast: Delicious - beautifully presented and the homemade breads were a great touch.

We were made to feel very welcome by Brenda and David. Top quality service, and great food (especially the home made bread). It is only a short walk from Ambleside, and Brenda and David were very helpful in sharing their knowledge of the area, and suggesting places to visit and eat. We consider this the best B&B that we have stayed in and was better than most hotels we have stayed in. Well deserving of the excellent comments on this site and the awards. We are looking forward to going back.

Lovely B&B in beautiful gardens and surroundings. Very friendly and helpful proprietors, but not imposing in any way. Very short walk into Ambleside. Fantastic breakfasts, including homemade bread. Definately recommended.
