Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Elder Grove is a peaceful guest house, with its own car park, right in the centre of Ambleside. The bedroom and facilities are very good and spotlessly clean. The breakfast is tasty and very comprehensive including fresh fruits, cereals, and a good cooked offering. The owners are also very friendly and eager to please.

Very nice B&B. Nice and clean room and very nice breakfast. I have stayed there two times now and would not hesitate to stay there again. The hosts Lucy and Matthew are very nice people. Matthew serves the breakfast and is always in a good mood. It is located in walking distance to shops and restaurants in Ambleside. And theres also room for your car. Highly recommended.

WOW! This is what I thought of Elder Grove B&B. The hosts (Matthew & Lucy) the location, the rooms, the breakfast everything was top class. Quality toiletries and beverage items used in the rooms with the added bonus of high quality products at breakfast, which were absolutley cooked to perfection and delicious. It is immaculately clean throughout. Literature available to facilitate a walking adventure, which was a great aid for us. Parking on site which once we'd parked up we didn't need to move. We will most certainly stay here again. Fantastic.
