The room was lovely clean, nice view, bathroom had a shower and bath, both worked perfectly. There were tea and coffee facilities in the room with a welcome of biscuits. There were hot chocolate sachets, as well as fruit teas. Breakfast was great, the poached eggs were done to perfection. The porridge was filling and delicious. All produce was sourced locally too. We had a top floor room, but on the next floor down was a stock of supplies of milk and sachets to take to the room for if you ran out. There were books to read and maps of walks if you wanted to use them. The location was great for the local restaurants, pubs and shops. We completed 2 walks from Ambleside, Wansfell Pike and Loughrigg Fell, we didn't use the car for the whole 2 days.

The pillows were a little hard for me, but it didn't affect my sleep. It was a great 2 day stay. We will definitely stay here again.

Elder Grove is one of those places that you visit, which just feels right. As soon as you arrive, the welcome you receive is so warm and friendly. It felt like being at home, our stay was so comfortable and relaxing. The decor is beautiful and in excellent order. The bed was comfy, and the tea tray was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The breakfast they serve is exceptional, offering a wide variety of choices that are freshly made using top quality local produce. Our room was on the top floor overlooking the main road through Ambleside on the way to Bowness and Windermere, and the sound proofng is very good. We couldn't hear the busy road below. Elder Grove's location is perfect for visiting every part of the lake district with parking on-site and bus stops nearby. We will definitely recommend Elder Grove to our friends and family

Room was cosy and single bed was comfy, perfect for solo travellers like me. Breakfasts were delicious as there was plenty of selection, compliments to the chef. I must return in the future. Matthew was an excellent host during my stay, very friendly and gave excellent information and advise on walks in the area, also if you need any extra towels room cleaning etc you can ask him in the morning. Location was excellent, a 5 minute walk and your into the shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants or alternatively you can walk 10 mins in the opposite direction and you'll ve at the pier.

Due to the room location and the sloping roof, It was tricky to shower without banging your head on the ceiling. Car park is tight but you can still maneuver your car into a space.

I loved EVERYTHING about staying here. The hosts Matt and Lucy made sure my stay was perfect - I stayed in a single bed room which had a gorgeous view and so well appointed. Room size was perfect with room for my suitcase to stay open - very comfortable bed! A lovely decent sized bathroom with full sized bath. Everything was immaculate. The breakfast was gorgeous. Wonderful range of individually jarred fresh fruit and home made muesli followed by selection of hot breakfast made to order. Love the actual location - I think Ambleside is THE perfect base to stay in the Lake District. Great walks that are easily accessible - awesome range of places to eat

Um - nothing

This is a lovely hotel - decent sized, comfortable rooms with quality bedding and lovely toiletries in the bathroom. There are lots of nice touches - there were Herdy mugs for tea and coffee (rather than the inevitable IKEA) and hot chocolate sachets/herbal tea provided too. Breakfast was cooked to order and delicious, and the individual fruit salads were also high quality. Free parking is the icing on the cake! Location is perfect and we slept like logs. Will definitely stay here again.

Very welcoming on arrival. At Breakfast you are Spoilt for choice, delicious, and host really ensures you have all you need and that everything is ok. Super friendly hosts, really knowledgeable of local area and offering recommendations where appropriate. Wonderful selections of coffees/teas in room with added bonus of biscuits. Room was very comfortable, could even log on to Netflix or prime.!! Spacious bathroom with the most loveliest of toiletries available. Elder grove was in a great location so easy to get about. I will definitely stay again, staying at elder grove was relaxing and covered all needs for a stay.

Loved this charming, quirky hotel - the owners were very nice and I enjoyed Matt's witty banter. The outside of the house was just as beautiful as the view we had from our room. The room was very comfortable: large bed, nice bathroom with all the amenities we were hoping for. In addition, we enjoyed a delicious home cooked breakfast in the morning. The hotel is located in the center of Ambleside, and we started our hike from there - no need to take the car (which we could conveniently leave in the parking).

Really nice B&B, festively decorated & a great location for exploring the Lakes. Very handy car park on site. The owners are lovely, chatty & very knowledgeable of walks & pubs around Ambleside & beyond. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. The room was a clean, comfortable, good size with a bath & well equipped for beverages. It was on the top floor so a bit of stamina needed after a day of walking. The only negative is the walls are a little thin. Having settled after a long car journey, the adjoining room resident decided a singing session was needed so treated the top floor to half an hour of unadulterated crooning! I confess to turning the tv on with the volume up after about 10 minutes!

A friendly welcome upon arriving. Close to all amenities in the village. Warm, clean room with a great view to Loughrigg. Several lounge areas with comfy seats. Superb breakfast. Free carparking. I really like how they support other local businesses in the running of the B&B (e.g. Garside butchers, Pure Lakes toiletries, etc.).

The shower is the only thing I'd mention. It was the angle of the roof, it is integral to the shower, so it was a bit awkward for me.

Car park. Parking in the lakes is a nightmare. So grateful for that luxury. Breakfast was very good. Service was really good, friendly and happy to share information of local highlight etc.

Breakfast window only being available for 1 hour. Nowhere to sit outside with a glass of wine and relax. Would have preferred a fridge in our room. Elder Grove is a bit on the tired side. Expensive...however the lakes is renowned for being ridiculously priced. Finally I would return to Elder Grove but not at peak season. Our idilic ideas of visiting different locations were dashed because we couldn't get parked anywhere. Waste of time. Cumbria need to address the parking discs/app parking/card paying machines and disabled parking and more parking in general.
