The whole property has a period feel. The hosts are very welcoming and have thought of everything, such as providing torches and brollies if required for the walk back. A fantastic bedroom with lovely garden views and beyond. Very comfortable and spacious. Excellent breakfast. Free parking. Walks from the property to Grasmere, Skelwith Bridge and more so there is no issue with the parking. Just leave the car and set off from here. A 10 minute walk to the centre of Ambleside. A place with a real and positive difference to anywhere I have stayed before, and I think it I would struggle to find a spot better or even equalling this in Ambleside.

No negatives

In over 30 years of visiting the Lakes we have walked past this property many times but never stayed! Wish we had earlier. It is exceptionally well run. The hosts are most friendly, welcoming, accommodating. They were kind enough to give us an early breakfast so we could outrun Storm Babet on our way home! The breakfasts were probably the best we have had at B and B's. Great choice, beautifully sourced, cooked and presented. The house is kept immaculately clean. A real pleasure to stay.

All very good.

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.

There was nothing to dislike. Couldn’t fault anything. The place is so well kept. Rooms are so so clean and comfortable.

Beautiful house, tastefully decorated and beautifully kept garden.. The Log Burner in the hallway immediately enticed us in to the warm and friendly environment provided by the Hosts.

Our room was well decorated and pristine. Only one minor point as far as we were concerned was the small bathroom, which didn’t affect us personally. There are most likely to be rooms with larger bathrooms.

my room had a gorgeous view of the garden, the bed was super comfy, room temperature was perfect, really good size room. extra special mention of the window seat! Breakfast was well cooked, a lot of choice, and I just love having someone else cut up fruit for my breakfast 😚. the location was perfect. 15 minute walk into Ambleside or 10min to Rydal, meant we were far enough away to feel isolated and in the country, without actually being isolated at all. bonus ice cream shop at the bottom of the garden on a sunny day 😎 the hosts were the cherry on top

nothing

Gorgeous B&B, lovely hosts, stunning grounds, walkable from Ambleside, big comfortable rooms, shutters for a good night’s sleep. Also loved that we could walk straight out of the place when we arrived, buy ice cream from the host and immediately climb up the beautiful Loughrigg fell. Thoroughly deserves its high rating.

The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the water pressure in the morning, which fell to pretty much zero presumably because too many other guests were showering. For some, the one mile walk to Ambleside might be more than they’d like but we enjoyed it - it was a nice, scenic walk, and flat & paved so we could wear our evening shoes. The hosts even provided pocket torches for coming back after dark.

Foxghyll Country House is perfectly located between Ambleside and Rydal, in an idyllic and peaceful setting, making it ideal for walkers or those seeking a retreat. In addition to the warm welcome and attention to detail provided by Paul and Rachel, who served up a very hearty and delicious breakfast, there are also beauty treatments on offer including massages - the perfect tonic at the end of a long but beautiful circle walk over Loughrigg fell to Grasmere.

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.

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

Foxghyll is beautiful and full of character. It is perfectly located about a 12 minute stroll from Ambleside, and you can walk straight from the house (via the garden path) up onto Loughrigg Fell. Paul and Rachel are the most wonderful hosts and super helpful. Breakfast is delicious too.

Nothing to dislike.

Foxghyll is in a beautiful and peaceful location. Paul and Rachel made sure we had a wonderful stay, even lighting the fire for watching the EURO football final! Breakfast was amazing.

Bathroom was a little small.
