Lovely weekend stay. Warm welcome and immaculate room. Amazing to find somewhere dog friendly that doesn’t cost extra as well!

Everything was just spot on; room clean & of good size, Alison the perfect host, breakfast excellent particularly the bacon, and a great location in Ambleside with free parking. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.
I do not have enough superlatives for this place. Fantastic location (10 mins walk to the lake and 10 mins walk into the centre of Ambleside), unbelievable value (free parking and at other car parks in nearby towns). Alison was so welcoming and the room was gorgeous. A really lovely stay with our two dogs who were made most welcome too! Fantastic breakfast included with plenty choice, we won’t be staying anywhere else in the Lakes now!
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Alison’s B&B. The location was perfect, the parking permit an unexpected bonus and my room was spacious and immaculately clean. The breakfast was lovely and freshly cooked to order and Alison was warm and welcoming. I would definitely stay again when in Ambleside.
Fantastic, the location, the welcome were first class. Breakfast was out of this world the attentive service really could not be faulted, a little gem, were planning our next stay already.
Stayed here to do the Fred Whitton, booked on location and taking our dog and it was great. Alison was a great host, very accommodating (particularly regarding bikes and dogs) and very helpful. The free parking in the car park just along the road is really useful. I would definitely stay here again.
Great two. Ight stay with family including our dog , lovely b and b , great host , and so clean tidy modern rooms , great breakfast and location ,just short few min walk in to Ambleside
Would highly recommend
And looking forward to booking out next trip here again

Alison was a great host. The guest house is perfectly located as you can easily walk into the centre of Ambleside or walk to the pier to go on a Windermere Lake Cruise. I had a very comfortable stay and the cooked breakfast was delicious.
We had a lovely 3 night stay at Lyndale Guest House, Ambleside. Alison was so welcoming. Room with en suite beautiful. Huge bed with crisp white bedding and tea etc facilities. Breakfast superb. We wanted for nothing. Would certainly recommend and make a return visit. Car park token was great. Ideally located. Thank you so much Alison. Tom & Jean Pierce xx
A clean and newly furbished property managed by a capable and hospitable lady, serving good English breakfast. Our guest room with ensuite is facing the opposite side of the main road, so is quiet. The host also provides each guest a Business Parking Permit for free marking in a nearby council car park, which can also be used in other council car parks of the same council including one in Grasmere.
A very well presented guest house in a great location. Very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean, comfortable and very well presented. The breakfast was great. Not one thing to complain about.
The host is helpful in reception of guest. She explained the entrance security and parking inormation in detail.
The full English breakfast was delicious and hot enough.
Really friendly greeting, all spotlessly clean and fresh. Room and private bathroom likewise. Breakfast was spot on,great choice and quality. Definately recommend. Free parking pass included in the price for the nearby public carpark. Thank you.

Lovely b&b, very welcoming host.
Great b&b perfect for a two night stay in Ambleside. It's on the main road so there's quite a lot of traffic noise but this didn't interfere with our stay. Close to the center of town and the edge of Windermere lake. You can access a beautiful walk to Troutbeck village with stunning views across the lake from the backroad of the building. There's a huge garden center across the road from the building, I was surprised by the size of it, you can access the ferry to Bowness 10 minutes walk away.
Lovely Victorian guesthouse midway between Ambleside Pier and town centre. Parking permit provided for nearest car park 100m plus can be used in other car parks in the Lakes. Excellent cooked breakfast and other selections available. Very friendly host, nothing was too much trouble. Lots of tourist leaflets available on each floor of 3 storey house. Bed very comfy. Would definitely recommend.

Good
All good apart from the very soft bed which was a bit lumpy. Also a bit of noise from the road outside. But very clean as no good breakfast.
The owner and the staff she employed were very helpful, approachable and polite.
I stayed for 10 nights for a solo walking holiday and the owner was very willing to suggest local walks that involved great views and sights, including fantastic views of Windermere or the waterfall-in-the-old-growth-wood nearby.
Each morning I was given a decent breakfast, a hot drink with oat milk, and the option to have cereal, orange juice or fruit salad.
My room was very functional with a small kettle, a sink and a TV. My private shower just down the hall was high pressure, warmed quickly and was cleaned daily.
I'd definitely recommend Lyndale Guest House and would definitely visit again if I wanted to stay in the same area.
Thanks again to the owner and the team.

The parking permit provided lets you park in other specified areas across the Lake District, and the car park for the B&B is just a minute's walk away.
