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.

Comfortable stay
Great location. Traditional and attractive well maintained building. Hosts very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast very nice. Room very comfortable. The only issue you could have is with the limited parking. Permits for the nearby parking lot was available also.

Wanslea Guest House is a comfortable and welcoming place. It is close to shopping and food as well as a short walk to the Windermere cruises. The hosts are so helpful, without being intrusive. Steve’s recommendations for walks and excursions are invaluable. The breakfasts are delicious! I cannot recommend Wanslea highly enough and would definitely visit again.

Wanslea Guest house was just what I needed, an oasis in England's beautiful Lake District. The owners spoil you with a wonderful breakfast (many food options), incredibly clean rooms, a well stocked tea cart, comfortable furniture. I would return here in a heartbeat!

Lovely guesthouse in a lovely location
Booked a single room for 3 nights, which was on the top floor. The owners were very warm and welcoming when I arrived, plus the additional excited welcome from little Charlie was adorable. The room was lovely and clean, bed was comfy and bathroom was spotless. Shower was a good pressure and temperature and I love that they use Out of Eden bathroom products, both eco friendly and cruelty free. Breakfast was served between 8 and 8.45, which you chose the night before, and was absolutely delicious with a good selection to choose from. By staying here you also get a discount at a couple of restaurants in the town and a parking pass for various car parks in the local area, which is a bonus. There is limited parking on site (I’d say max 3-4 vehicles) but the pass gives you free parking at the car park roughly 4 doors down from the guesthouse. It’s a great location, only a short walk in to the town and the waterfront. I had a slight issue with the temperature of the room on the first night, I was very cold overnight, but the owners were so helpful when I brought it up and offered to put an extra heater in my room with an additional duvet. This really helped make my stay more comfortable. Thank you Tina and Steve for everything and I hope your break is as enjoyable as mine.

Best room we've ever stayed in
The Arabian Nights room was the best room in a guesthouse we've ever stayed in. It had everything we needed - comfy bed, warmth, bath, plenty of tea. Breakfast perfectly tailored each day.
