Me & my husband stayed here for our 4th wedding anniversary. I will start with the only one negative we have of this guest house which is the dusting in our room not sure how often it is done but I think needs to be done more regular unless it was something that had been overlooked as everything else is...

Stayed over the Bank Holiday weekend and had the perfect time. Kent House is a lovely, quiet and relaxing guest house in an excellent location. The owner gave us lots of advice about where to eat/walk/drink etc which was a great help. We are usually up too late for breakfast when staying away, but we made the effort and were... More

Lovely guest house owned by a very accommodating family. We stayed for one night with our one year old son, and we couldn't have asked for nicer hospitality. We were provided with a cot and Simon was more than happy to help us with all our bags, pram etc. etc. Olivia, their 5 year old daughter is a delight, and... More

I stayed over the Easter break and had a lovely relaxing time with my partner, his parents and our dog. Our rooms were spotless and modernly decorated with a big comfortable bed. Our hosts went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable, even dog-sitting when we went out for a meal one evening! Breakfast was also great. We... More

We recently spent 4 nights at Kent House in Ambleside. It is in a great location, easy to get to from the train station and close to some of the loveliest walks inc. Fairfield Horseshoe and Red Screes. Many good restaurants nearby, would recommend Matthews Bistro and Dodds. Simon is particularly helpful with info on walks and things to do,... More

We stayed here for the easter weekend and had a lovely time. The B&B is super clean, our king room was modern, roomy and had a nice little view. Simon the owner was really helpful with all of the guests and couldn't do enough to help. Breakfast was also really good. For a restaurant recommendation....try The Log House, amazing food.

Just back from 3 nights at the Kent House in Ambleside. Room 2. Lovely king size bed, really clean and nicely done out. The en suite was small but perfectly formed with a good shower. Great location for a stroll to the pubs and restaurants, about which Simon gave some recommendations, and he was right, good places. Friendly helpful guy.... More

Great location in the centre of Ambleside, dog friendly and at no extra cost which is fantastic. Our room was o.k. but the shower wasn't.. it was either burning hot or freezing cold! Breakfast was nice but the breakfast room itself was cold!

I stayed for a couple of nights with my two children and my friend and her two children during half-term. We had two family rooms which were both ensuite and more than comfortable without being cramped. We all had a fabulous stay. Simon and Sandra who are the owners were so welcoming and facilitated a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The... More
