One of the reasons we chose Haven Cottage (apart from the good reviews on Tripadvisor!) was the fact that they allow single night stays at weekends. This is a big bonus for people like us, with kids, who are looking to enjoy a rare night away! Having returned from a truly wonderful stay with Tim and Lindsey it's clear there... More

Been to this B and B often over a number of years. Always a warm welcome from Tim, Lindsey and Jake the dog. It's the perfect place in the perfect setting. Newly refurbished rooms throughout, bringing everywhere up to date, with style and comfort. Nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is fit for a king, it's sourced locally where possible... More

Sad to leave today, but will definitely be back! There can't be a better B&B in the Lake District! From the minute we arrived I knew we had made the right choice, and believe me I trawl the internet for days before I book anywhere! We wanted somewhere special for hubby's birthday, and it certainly was! Tim & Lindsey are... More

We've just returned from another great stay at Haven Cottage and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else when we go to the Lakes. We have tried other B&Bs but Haven Cottage is the best. This was our second visit and when we arrived it felt just like home. As previous reviewers have said Tim & Lindsey are wonderful hosts, and very... More

We stayed here for one night on our way from Edinburgh to Manchester and decided to treat ourselves to a night in the suite having read such good reviews. The cottage is in a brilliant location, just a few minutes walk to the shops, pubs and restaurants in Ambleside and we were able to park right outside the front door.... More

Our last minute visit to Haven Cottage turned out to be a delight and I thoroughly recommend a trip there. Tim and Lindsey are attentive and switched-on hosts, who do their very best to help you to have a great visit - recommending places to eat, making sure guests are comfortable and helping you to feel genuinely at home. We... More

This is the second time we have visited this year and our visits must add up to quite a few over the years now.We just can't help going back to see Tim, Lindsey and of course Jake! This place just feels like home now. We love all the rooms and i think we have stayed in nearly all of them.... More

We are so glad we were pointed in the direction of this B&B by Trip Advisor. As it was our anniversary we treated ourselves to a stay in Room 8 which was gorgeous, very stylishly decorated and had a boutique feel. The views from the room were fantastic, and the location was perfect as it was quiet but you could... More
