I came upon Nanny Brow whilst looking for a nice place to stay to celebrate my wifes birthday. I was impressed by all the very positive things people had been saying about the place here on Trip Advisor so I went ahead and booked. Nanny Brow is situated about a miles drive out of Ambleside on the approach to the... More

We took the Brathay Suite for a special celebration and were not disappointed. The owners Sue and Pete, manager Mark and Miffy the dog (sorry Miffy) went to great lengths to make our stay comfortable and special. The Brathay suite is spacious (yet warm and cosy)with a beautiful bathroom (although slightly surprised that the countertop on the vanity unit in... More

Ended up here after being extremely unimpressed with our first choice- we were warmly welcomed, into a gorgeous b&b. We met the owner and manager who were both fantastic. The room was infallible. Absolutely stunning. And the double shower was just the icing on the cake! Breakfast- a great start to the day with local produce. We had our minimoon... More

Nanny Brow is marketed correctly as luxury bed and breakfast. The carefully renovated arts and crafts house has a calm and welcoming atmosphere and in many ways it feels like staying in a private country house. Our bedroom, Lingmoor, had a beautiful original tiled fireplace and a very comfortable bed but the clincher was the view of the river Brathay... More
