My girlfriend and i have just returned from our 1 yr together anniversary weekend staying at the Barnes Fell in Ambleside the other weekend. From the minute we arrived Ethna welcomed us with open arms and got us parked in the public parking round the corner. So much so, that on Saturday morning we had a lovely anniversary card from...

We've just got back from a four night stay at Barnes Fell, and will definitely stay there again. The location is perfect, as it's so close to the centre of Ambleside but really peaceful. Ethna was welcoming and friendly from the minute we arrived until we left, with lots of helpful suggestions on local restaurants and walks. The breakfasts were... More

Stayed for a couple of nights while on a walking trip. Very charmingly presented B&B, up a steep road above the main road so off the beaten track but only a few minutes walk to the centre. Very well furnished and Ethna is a welcoming and very attentive host. Beautifully cooked breakfast. Our room, Wansfell, is small and so is... More

just back from a two night stay. Ethna and Nick are very hospitable and friendly .the food ,views from the room, the room itself were first class and we will be returning in the near future I am sure. More

We have just stayed at Barnes Fell for the 2nd time. It's a great place to stay in The Lakes, a short walk from town but up on the quiet hill with great views from the breakfast room. Ethna made us feel very welcome and Nick cooks a mean breakfast (although Ethna's scrambled eggs are eggcellent!!). We stayed in Wansfell... More

Had a fabulous break in Barnes fell last weekend. Our stay in the Loughrigg Room which had breath taking views of the fells and Ambleside was faultless. The room was bright and roomy, warm and cosy, and very clean!! Ethna was an attentive hostess, breakfast was akin to a 5 star hotel! Very central in location for Ambleside. Thank you... More

Ethna and Nick the owners made us very welcome. The room was on the first floor and faced the back garden - Wansfell. It was immaculate, comfortably furnished and well appointed with terry robes, toiletries, hair dryer, wifi and flat screen TV. The wifi worked well. Breakfasts was excellent and the B&B is just a short walk 10 minutes to... More
