Exceptional! Steve and Caz very welcoming
Our stay exceeded our expectations. Steve and Caz made you feel like you were staying with close friends. The attention to detail is everywhere in thier property. Our room was immaculate. The bed was so comfy we had the best sleep in a long time. Breakfast was perfect and a good choice. We truly couldn't have asked for any more. We highly recommend staying at Hillsdale. You even have a secure car parking bay only a very short walk away. We got a parking disc and was able to park outside for an hour whilst we unloaded on arrival and loaded up again on leaving. We left the car in the car park and used the buses to go everywhere. We can't wait to return. Thank you for making our two day stay so memorable. Kind regards, Glynis and Graham

We enjoyed our stay at Hillsdale very much. The B&B was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated and furnished. Steve and Kaz were very pleasant and friendly and looked after us very well. There was a good choice for breakfast. It was convenient having free parking nearby and it was well located for all the restaurants and shops in Ambleside.

Super, central, very pretty area, short break!
We stayed in room 8. Very well equipped. Loved night light in bathroom, vanity mirror and hairdryer. Wine glasses and bottle open great. Extension plugs useful. Loved the decor, very comfortable. Very well thought out. It was a short break for our wedding anniversary. Caz and Steve lovely hosts, very informative. The only thing I personally would have liked, would have been fresh towels, maybe toilet cleaned, tea making facilities topped up and bins emptied. Towels and tea facilities had to be requested in the morning if required. I suppose it’s not a hotel so bedroom service not applied. Breakfast was lovely. Well cooked and lots of choice, although short window for dining compared to other places. We would definitely love to come back again, very home from home. Great location, we loved it! 10 out of 10. 😁

It was right in the middle of Ambleside and free parking was included. The room was small, but had everything that we needed and we were only using the room for sleeping as we were touring the area. The owners were very helpful and their recommendation to eat at Lucy's on Church Street was an excellent one. Breakfast was excellent with everything cooked to order. This is a really nice B & B and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Relaxing short stay in Ambleside.
The hosts were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Hotel has a relaxing vibe with a calming decor recently furnished (sheep theme). Well organised and the hosts’ experience in the trade was evident throughout. Breakfast ordered the night before and was outstanding. Fantastic brekky! Lots of choice. Hot food exceptional. Secure free parking off site was a short walk away and was a plus. Highly recommend this B&B.
