We chose Rysdale from a list given to us by friends who were planning a Wedding in nearby Grasmere. Because of the Bank Holiday we booked early and Allan advised that room 6 would suit our needs. We were not disappointed, particularly with the view of the Church across the pleasure park and the very close proximity to the shops... More

Alan and his wife were extremely accommadating and friendly. They made us feel very welcome and 'at home.' The breakfast was varied and of an excellent... More

Thank you so much for a very warm welcome after a long drive. We picked this place due to great value even on new years eve and a perfect location for a few days walking in practice for 3 peaks. What we recieved was way above standard and can't wait to go back. Parking is tricky but that's small towns... More

I stayed in a single room (Room 7) in this B&B for 6 nights during 28/12/2011 - 3/1/2012. This is a small but warm, comfortable, sparkling clean and friendly B&B. By small, it has less than 10 rooms in this traditionally built and very old building. The single room is normal small compare to London standard. But the room has... More

Stayed here for a weekend break recently and in the end thought the accommodation deserved its "mid table" status in the Trip Advisor listings for Ambleside. On the plus side were comfortable beds and crisp, clean linen, a nice full English breakfast and a good location for exploring the town's many pubs, restaurants and shops. However, there was barely any... More
