This friendly superior B&B establishment was an ideal setting for our adult families bonding weekend. Situated in the quaint town of Ambleside, there was plenty of shopping, amenities and evening pubs/restaurants within a few minutes walking distance. Nothing was too much trouble for the attentive proprietors, Simon and Sandra. Whilst providing for everyone’s needs, they quietly focused on the efficient... More

An ideal location right in town with access within minutes walking of Log House, Thai, and Lucys restaurants and pubs etc. Simon and Sandra are very accomodating and serve the perfect english breakfast to your desire. Always clean and fresh towels. Ideal for walks direct from the guest house without the need to drive if you dont want to. Recommend... More

Nice B&B in the centre of Ambleside, very convenient for accessing the shops and restaurants and car parking is provided. It's a big old house which is kept spotlessly clean, beds are comfortable, linen and towels etc are good quality. The house is on the main street but high above it, we didn't hear any noise from the streets even... More

We stayed one night with our two young children (2 and 3 years old) midweek in a room on the top floor for a family and were quite pleased. The proprietors were friendly and able to address any questions about the area that we had, including parking options. After an adventure of backing the car uphill to a parking space... More

Excellent guest house high above Lake Road. Clean and comfortable with first class breakfast. We were a family of four - great family room. Hosts were welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. Although parking can be a slight challenge - successfully doing it does give a sense of achievement! Plenty of easier nearby alternatives though. Would highly recommend and would certainly stay...

Myself and three of my friends stayed two nights over the Easter break recently. Although I have been to Ambleside before, I had not stayed at a B&B and was not sure what to expect. I would definitely stay here again. We booked two executive rooms and were very pleased with the spacious rooms, the neat bathroom, tasteful decor, tea... More

We have stayed in Ambleside many times before but don't know how we have missed Kent House. It is perfectly situated in the Town Centre but raised above the main street. The perfect weather we were lucky enough to enjoy allowed us to end the day sitting out with a bottle of wine in the little patio area overlooking Lake... More

We enjoyed a lovely four night break in the heart of Ambleside. Simon and Sandra were very welcoming hosts and achieved the perfect balance of attentiveness without being over the top. Our dogs enjoyed their stay too. We hope to come back soon! Thank you! :) More

We booked into Kent House for the weekend as a last minute getaway and couldn't fault it. the B&B is right in the centre of Ambleside, convinient for shops, bars and points of interest. Simon was on hand to greet us on arrival, asked the reason for our stay and gave some great local knowledge which setup our weekend perfectly.... More
