Compston House B&B

We booked a double room for a two night stay in November. The room was spotless and smelled lovely. The main areas were really well put together and lovely and clean - I felt like I needed to remove my boots! Breakfast was really good with plenty of options and good quality ingredients. The parking is very close to the hotel , we were given a permit which was a really nice touch. Hosts were really welcoming and so we will definitely return :)

Stayed for 1 night midweek.Unfortunately chose the day when Part of the car park on King St was sectioned off but managed to bag the last space which was free due to the permit issued by the hotel which was great. The welcome was fantastic and Meg & John are fabulous hosts. The decor of the hotel was very nice and the carpet throughout was immaculate..looked new. My room was clean & comfortable and had tea/coffee making which is always good. Incident with shower in the morning which was swiftly dealt with. It transpires that room had not been upgraded as yet but they had done a lot of work /renovation since 2017 to the rooms.As I say, the interior of the hotel was lovely including the lounge. Breakfast was very satisfying with a great choice and table service! Enjoyed breakfast very much. Overall a very pleasant and comfortable stay with superb hosts in a great location. I can't wait to come back.

Had a great 2 nights at Compston House B&B. Meg and John were very welcoming and genuinely nice people. The breakfast each morning was excellent with plenty of choice. The entire place, from the shared spaces to the room itself, was spotless and very well presented. The parking permit and good internet connection were a nice added bonus. I couldn't have asked for more really. I hope to make it back there in the future.

We had a lovely time staying at Compston House last week. The room was cozy, everything was clean, and breakfast was a real highlight. Both Megan and John were so warm and welcoming to us throughout our stay, which was much appreciated. Everything was excellent value for money - the room, the breakfast, the service, the location (perfectly situated in Ambleside within walking distance of all the shops/restaurants/cinemas) and also the parking permit, which was incredibly helpful throughout our trip. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay - we will definitely be returning in the future!

Just back from a group of friends staying in Ambleside whilst we competed in a trail race. |There were 12 of us and John and Megan were outstanding hosts. They couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. |Rooms were clean and ranged from ‘cosy’ to spacious. |Clean linen, towels and supplies topped up whenever requested outside of normal room servicing. |Special thanks to Megan for feeding 12 of us (plus other guests) with breakfast all at once with efficiency and a smile all the time. |Would definitely recommend and we’ve already booked for next year 😊|Oh and breakfast is brilliant.

This was our 1st Wedding Anniversary and we decided to book Ambleside through great reviews from friends. We stopped at Lake Windermere for a night on our way to Gretna Green last year and loved it. |This B&B caught my eye due to its great reviews especially about the breakfast choices which did not disappoint. |Our room was perfect, if I could make any suggestions it would have been nice to have a mini fridge. |The dog was friendly and very chilled. |Nothing was ever too much trouble and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. |We would return. |Karen and Bobby Pretlove

This was my 3rd stay at Compston House. Megan & John are warm, friendly and very welcoming. Room was very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. I will definitely stay here again and will be highly recommending friends and family to stay here.

We had a lovely 2 night stay at Compston House. The room was very clean and the bed extremely comfortable. Breakfast was a highlight - great selection and all delicious. Thank you to Meg & John for a wonderful stay.

This was one of the most friendly little B&B's we've stayed at in the Lake District. The minute you walk through the door you are greated by Jerry and Sue who are more than happy to help you out with local information, restaurant recommendations and bookings etc. The B&B is perfectly located in the centre of Ambleside so it's easy to stroll to one of the many pubs or restaurants. The rooms are all themed on different parts of America and the rest of the B&B is imaculate. The breakfasts are one of the main attractions to this B&B and now I know why. You can choose between a full American, a full English or any mixed breakfast, pancakes, omlettes you name it. So much choice and so much food you'll struggle to leave the table and Jerry will keep offering you more. Sue does a cracking job in the kitchen and no matter how busy it is the breakfast is at the highest standard. The only thing that lets this place down is the bathroom in our room was very small but to be fair it did it's job so I wasn't too bothered. I would definatly recommend this place to anyone.
