Hillsdale B&B was an incredible stay. The location, the home itself, the rooms, and the breakfast were all amazing and exceeded all of our expectations. Steve and Caz were so welcoming, personally showing us into their property, guiding us to the parking, offering excellent recommendations, and preparing the perfect English breakfast in their beautiful breakfast room. As soon as the five of us settled into our rooms, we all said we wished we were staying longer! Steve and Caz thought of everything - all the amenities and necessities required and more! I couldn't give a more glowing recommendation to this bed and breakfast. If you are considering a visit to the Lake District and Ambleside - DO NOT miss this amazing stay!

Everything was lovely about this B&B. The staff Shannon, Joanna & Sam were really nice to us and made our stay comfortable. The property has a great location and decent facilities. The property has a traditional decor and they're planning to get some refurbishments done soon I'm told. I would love to visit Ambleside again and stay with them.
