Compston House B & B

Just back from a group of friends staying in Ambleside whilst we competed in a trail race. There were 12 of us and John and Megan were outstanding hosts. They couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. Rooms were clean and ranged from ‘cosy’ to spacious. Clean linen, towels and supplies topped up whenever requested outside of normal room servicing. Special thanks to Megan for feeding 12 of us (plus other guests) with breakfast all at once with efficiency and a smile all the time. Would definitely recommend and we’ve already booked for next year Oh and breakfast is brilliant.

A basic room but it was what we needed. The breakfasts were FANTASTIC and the staff were so helpful

Excellent B and B, very friendly owners, nothing is ever a problem. The rooms are very comfortable with a high standard of cleanliness with tea and coffee provided. Shower room fully equipped with fluffy towels and toiletries. Breakfast is all you could wish for and more. Free parking either with private space or a pass for local car parks. Definitely recommend a stay.

This is the second year we have stayed at Compston House and we will definitely be staying again.Megan and John are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble.The rooms are spotless and the bed was so comfortable.Breakfast was lovely and the choice was exceptional.Cant fault anything at all,it was a lovely stay

We stayed at Compston House in March 2025 for a weekend, which was a lovely, comfortable B&B. The room was small but prefect size for the two of us, with an ensuite bathroom that has been outfitted with modern facilities. The room had a double bed, wardrobe, dresser with kettle and coffee machine and a wall mounted TV. The B&B did not have parking but at check in we were provided with a parking permit allowing us to park in some of the local car parks for free. But word of warning the two closest car parks get full and after a day out I had drive around them a few times until a spot opened up. There is a bigger car park about a 5 min walk away which was the back up choice. You had plenty of choice at breakfast and what we had both mornings was delicious and you can’t beat a home cooked breakfast. The owners were friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend staying here if you venture to Ambleside for a few days.

Another amazing stay at Compston House B&B. Lovely comfortable beds, beautiful spacious clean rooms, perfect location and the best breakfasts! Meg and John are great hosts and think of every little detail. Would recommend and will be back.
