Our 3 days stay in the B&B is wonderful. We enjoy very much for the breakfast every day and with excellent service from Steve and Tina. When my wife steps into the room, she immediately said it has the most beautiful bathroom she ever seen.

We stayed at the Wanslea on a short motorcycle trip to Ambleside. The rooms were spotless and the building is in an excellent location. A member of our party was staying in another hotel but the owners of the Wanslea were kind enough to accommodate him for breakfast. The entire experience was lovely and the owners were incredibly welcoming. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Great stay Lovely stay. Warm welcome from Steve on arrival. Explained parking, limited at property but free at pay and display when displaying parking card that Steve gave us. Fantastic room, very spacious. Tea, coffee, glasses, cork screw, iron and ironing board. Great breakfast, order evening before. Cereal, juice available also. Steve and Tina were excellent hosts...not forgetting Charlie. Definitely recommended.

A great find Found a delightful guest house in Ambleside with friendly hosts, Steve and Tina. Our room (1) was spacious, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The room was to the back of the property and was very quiet. It had a small car park, but there are free passes for the carpark nearby. Breakfast was a choice from a set menu which was freshly made.
