Totally recommended and we will come back to the same place. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast - as I am not fan of English breakfast - I am glad it was more like 'continental' type. Breakfast room - not huge space but come on! It's cozy there. Car park - it is to pe paid separately but at least is monitored and just outside the room. Room for 3 - very spacious, don't remember room number but view is unforgettable!

The hosts, Adie & Mandy are fantastic - so happy to share recommendations of places to visit, where to eat etc. Our room was very comfortable & had everything you could possibly need. The whole place is spotlessly clean and the breakfast is truly amazing- such a great choice & everything is cooked to order, so perfectly fresh. The location is ideal as you’re just off the main road, so easy to walk to the shops & restaurants but far enough away to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep Would have no hesitation in recommending Brantfell House if you’re looking to stay in Ambleside
