The hosts. The cleanliness. The facilities and how well they are maintained. The location. Everything. Rumpelstiltskin (that would be Matthew) made breakfast a real joy and his wife Lucy had a huge smile when we arrived and left. And yes, we wish we would have stayed another night 😊

The breakfast was very good. The location was excellent, in the town, but it was quiet. It was ideal for hiking, with plenty of choices where to go. In the accommodation itself, the bathroom was good with a decent shower, the bed was comfortable, there was tea and coffee in the room and the host was friendly and helpful. I hope to stay there next year.

Rooms were beautifully and comfortably furnished, with all amenities required for a quiet weekend away. The facilities are impeccably clean, tidy, and well maintained. It was wonderful returning to a warm room at the end of many a cold, rainy, and blustery day. Kate, the general manager, went above and beyond with ensuring we got the keys even after the reception was closed -- we were very grateful to her for that. Location is excellent, just a stone's throw from the waterfront and with excellent food options nearby.

The location was superb. Right in the middle of Ambleside and a short walk to the many restaurants and pubs in town. Adie and Mandy were very welcoming , so helpful with useful bits of information that made our stay so comfortable and with an amazing breakfast every day, made to order. Very substantial breakfast which keeps one going through the day. They even make great packed lunches to go, if one so desires. We were really satisfied with the overall experience at Brantfell House and particularly so with Adie and Mandy as hosts and we would heartily recommend Brantfell House to anyone hoping to spend a few days in the Lake District.
