My Dad and I booked two rooms here for 4 nights. I had the Four Poster Bed room and it was like sleeping on a cloud! Most comfortable hotel bed Ive ever slept in. Our hosts were very friendly and informative about the area. Breakfast good. Highly recommend.

This was a bank holiday weekend and nearly all of the other b+b's and hotels in the area only allowed a minimum 3-night stay over that... More

The room was Ok but definatly not sparkling clean and quite grubby. We did a 4 hour walk on our first day and I was looking forward to a hot bath in the... More

Stayed for one night on the 14th in a twin room. Got a real good rate by calling directly rather than booking online via an agency. Was offered a twin room for £64 which is a good rate considering how nice and clean the room was and the breakfast was included (Very good breakfast too except no baked beans!). The... More

We stayed over Valentines weekend, booked at extremely short notice but still managed to fit us in and only for 1 night which was extremely accomodating. It was our second visit to Wanslea and we can't fault the B and B, great location, free parking, and very friendly staff/ owner. Nothing is too much trouble, Nev our dog love's to... More

We can highly recommend the Wanslea guesthouse. The food and service was excellent. The room was perfect. we had the african room with a wonderful spa bath. we will definatelty be returning. A bonus is it is a couple of mins walk to the centre of Ambleside. Give them a call you wont be disappointed.

Stayed here for a weekend and will definately come again. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were comfortable and clean and we had a great nights sleep both nights. This was topped off with a very hearty breakfast to prepare you for a day of walking. Would recommend this place to anyone staying the lake district.
