A Gem

What a gem of a B&B. Spotless and really comfortable rooms with lovely touches. Cracking breakfast and the most lovely of people/owners who work hard to ensure their guests have all that they need.

8/10 Very good

Great location

Great location and lovely couple managing guest house, with a superb breakfast. Only comment was room (11) was a tad on small size with no air conditioning (it was a really hot couple of days and being at top of hotel was very hot at night).

Excellent 5*

One of the best B&B's I have ever stayed, helpful, friendly with nothing too much trouble. Bed/bathroom bright, clean & modern. Unusual in B&B's there were 2 comfortable lounges and honesty bar. Breakfast was outstanding and my only negative, the parking was tight & needed care. Property close to town and lake. Gg

Excellent all around -- esp. the breakfast!

Excellent stay all around. The couple who run this place were friendly, professional, and very helpful. And they cooked the best English breakfast we've ever had! Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a wonderful view. Really the best of experience. We will return soon hopefully.

Andrea really is the perfect hostess. She made us feel so important and showed much concern for the comfort of her guests. Giles and Andrea together make the best B n B breakfasts ever. We totally loved our stay at Elder Grove and would love to come back someday!
Johanna, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice Bed and Breakfast. The proprietor is very kind and service oriented. The single room was spotless, comfy and nicely decorated. Well stocked tea and coffee options in the room. There is even more in the aisle if you somehow run out. Onsite parking was nice to have.

Everything was fantastic-but we couldn’t get the heat to work!
Jen W, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved staying at the Elder Grove! Lovely room with a comfortable bed. On the main street, but outside noise never bothered us. The location makes it very walkable around Ambleside. Nice extra touches in the room like cookies and cocoa. The 'Herdy' mugs made me smile and the toilet paper has the ouline of little dogs imprinted on it. Breakfast had a nice selection of cold items, including homemade granola which was excellent. Made to order hot items. Andrea was very warm and welcoming.
