9.0

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay! The owners were really nice people, so friendly and informative. A lovely property that was a short walking distance to the town centre and amenities of Ambleside The room was lovely, and the shower was fantastic! And wow what a superb Breakfast to set you up for the day! Lots of fresh Orange juice, coffee and a massive tasty breakfast with lots of toast. We would highly recommend a stay at Brantfell House when visiting the Lake District. Thank you so much.

The only minor downside was the television in the room did not have many channels such as BBC 1 and a few other channels as well. But this didn't spoil our stay whatsoever.

Lovely people, great breakfast and great location.

9.0

Owners were brilliant, very friendly and accommodating with excellent knowledge of the area and restaurants. The location was great, a short walk to the centre of town. Breakfast was perfect.

The room and bathroom were a little small. The room was very hot but to be fair it was around 30 degrees outside.
