    Gorgeous place, very clean and comfortable. Great, friendly service, delicious breakfast - loved the added touch of puzzles on the table at breakfast! Perfect location for walks to Ambleside, Rydal, Grasmere and Loughrigg Fell.

    Not applicable. We liked everything. If I can recommend something to the hosts is perhaps to offer a couple of bikes to be rented on site.

    Everything. One of my best stays ever via Booking.com 1) Location is perfect, tucked away in Ambleside / Rydal countryside but still 20-min walk (5-min drive) away from both villages. Location is strategic to visit the Lake District: Most locations are less than 30-min drive away. 2) Property is a beautiful grade 2 listed building with very cute garden and in immaculate conditions. Interior designs are very stylish and very British. 3) Room was super spacious and bed was comfortable. 4) Breakfast was delicious and made with organic/local products. 5) Parking available on site. In the afternoon, hosts organise a lovely ice-cream stand just outside the property. 6) Hosts were impeccable in all aspects: Check-in, check-out, breakfast, recommendations, manners.

    We loved everything

    The hotel is a fabulous, set in an amazing location. The rooms are large, quiet and spotless. Breakfast is chosen off a menu and served directly to your table, hot and freshly prepared. The gardens are stunning with table and chairs. Due to there only being 3 rooms you get an excellent and personal service.

    A very warm welcome from Paul, very hospitable throughout our stay. Room was large and comfortable, a perfect location...deep in the countryside but only 10 minutes walk along an almost car free country road to Ambleside. 20 minute moderate climb from the garden and I was on top of Loughrigg fell with fantastic views.

    Beautiful location, a lovely short walk into Ambleside, but equally well placed for a more substantial walk via beautiful streams / rivers and lakes into Grasmere. Lovely family too, warmly welcomed, very comfortable room, breakfast was delightful. Thank you for a lovely stay!

    Our experience at Foghyll, although short, was memorable. From the cheery,friendly greeting from Paul to leaving we couldn’t fault it. Beautiful room spotless and airy with lovely view of the gardens. One of the best breakfasts with attention to detail (warmed my bowl for my generous porridge portion) delicious hot English breakfast. Highly recommend

    There was nothing to dislike. One of the best of our seven week holiday.

    A beautiful and peaceful place to stay. In a lovely quiet setting but close enough to walk to the town of Ambleside and an easy drive to some of the bigger towns. The property was beautifully kept and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts.

    Breakfast had a great choice of fresh fruit, cereal, freshly made porridge and a delicious freshly made cooked breakfast with plenty on the plate. This give us a good start to the day to explore and walk to nearby Grasmere and Ambleside.
