Excellent would definitely recommend staying here.
From the moment we arrived we felt at home, lovely warm welcome from Adie and Mandy.
Room was clean and comfortable bed.
The decor was excellent felt like a luxury hotel.
Breakfast was amazing and great options.
Brantfell House was very clean and very comfortable. The room is cosy but big enough for a couple with a large suitcase. The hosts are incredibly helpful and friendly, providing local recommendations and banter. They offer a packed lunch for a reasonable price if you're going hiking, and the breakfast was home cooked and yum. I really liked some of the tiny thoughtful touches, like providing a dark coloured face washer specifically labelled "Makeup Remover". There was lots of thought put into the stay here!
We had an amazing 3 night stay in the Lake District at Brantfell House. Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly providing plenty of helpful information during our stay as well as delicious breakfasts.
One excellent bonus was the bag lunches they prepared for us for a small fee. These were excellent during our exploration of the lake district saving us the time (and considerable expense) of finding restaurants for lunch.
Our room was quite comfortable and nicely decorated. Brantfell house was well located and in easy walking distance to many restaurants and pubs in Ambleside.
We highly recommend Brantfell House if you're in Ambleside. The room was spotless, the bed comfortable, and the water pressure great. The breakfasts were very good - from cold choices like fruit and yogurt to traditional hot breakfasts. Adie and Mandy were friendly and helpful. A perfect site for doing beautiful walks in the area.
We loved our stay at Brantfell House. Adie and Mandy made us feel super welcome from the moment we stepped into the apartment. Adie is super knowledgeable about the area and gives good tips for things to do, while Mandy whips up delicious breakfasts. The room is spacious and great too. Highly recommended and we hope to be back soon!
Great stay at Brantfell House. I couldn't fault anything and really appreciated the attention to detail. Lovely room and delicious breakfast, beautifully presented. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Amazing welcome very impressed with how organised and also environmentally conscious the hosts are. Room was comfortable and immaculately clean. Breakfast was fabulous! Will definitely stay again.

We had a fantastic 5 night stay. The location in Ambleside is perfect, as it’s only a short walk into town with plenty of choices to eat and drink. There are some fantastic walks straight from the house, or an easy drive. Mandy and Ade are brilliant hosts - the breakfasts are superb and you can’t beat local knowledge for walks, or food and drink. We’ll definitely be back!

I am a Gold Member at Hotels.com & never leave reviews on the many hotels I stay at across Europe each week. However I just felt I had to give Brantfell House a glowing report for other travellers thinking of visiting this wonderful small hotel/guest house. From the minute we arrived for my first vacation in a year the hosts Mandy and Adi made us so welcome with free parking pass at several car parks across the region an added bonus. The bedroom was to a very high standard in cleanliness and facilities
plus the bathroom was exceptionally clean with a great power shower too. Breakfasts were brilliant and kept us going all day until dinner time. I would thoroughly recommend Brantfell House to couples, groups or individuals, you won’t be disappointed.

Hosts Mandy and Aidie couldn't do more for us, very helpful and friendly. Breakfasts very good - thoroughly recommend the omelette! Room compact but comfortable. Although we didn't have a good view from our room, the view from breakfast room lovely. Good location for restaurants, shops, buses and ferry.

Lovely 4 night break in this super clean and comfortable b&b in the perfect location in beautiful Ambleside. Room was great with a comfortable bed, good WiFi and super powerful shower. Excellent breakfast. Parking was free and easy in the towns car parks using the local business pass handed to us on arrival. The hosts, Mandy and Aidie were extremely friendly and welcoming. If you are thinking of visiting the lakes, we can wholeheartedly recommend Brantfell as a great place to stay.

We had a fantastic stay with Mandy and Aide at Brantfell who are, quite simply, perfect hosts. We were made to feel welcome from the very start and soon felt "part of the family". They have an extensive knowledge of the town and surrounding areas and are very helpful if you're looking for some advice for sightseeing or a good pub/restaurant.
The house is very central to Ambleside so it is very easy to get into the town by walking and you have easy access to all the main roads so that exploring other parts of the Lake District (whether by local transport or self driving) is very simple.
The room was very comfortable and had everything you need for a short, relaxing break. Breakfast is more than enough for setting your self up for the day.
We look forward to returning to Amblelside and will be sure to book in at Brantfell House again.

Our stay at aide and mandy’s guesthouse was fantastic, they are 2 of the kindest people you will meet, offering useful recommendations for all aspects of the local area and even taking our wet clothes for drying after a soggy walk up scafell pike! Room was incredibly comfortable and well equipped. The guesthouse is located just a few minutes walk from the centre of ambleside with a wide selection of pubs, restaurants and shops. We will definitely be staying again.

I had room 6, which was almost at the top of the house and had great views over the hills. The room had its own seating area as well as a really comfy bed and well-equipped shower room. Toiletries were provided and big, fluffy towels. The room was also beautifully decorated. The choice of breakfast was really good as well, I was spoilt for choice.
