The outstanding part of the room is the amazing bathroom with big shower and strong water pressure enabling you to comfortable relax after a long day of hiking. Definitely a recommend if you are looking for a homey place with all the comforts. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 29 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Beware check out time. Be aware of 4pm Check-in and 10 am check out. A bit tight if only staying one night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 25 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Huge positives: beautiful location, superb views, lovely house, very clean room in very good condition, excellent shower/en suite in very good condition, good breakfast. All deserving of a nine out of ten rating. BUT: we were put on edge by the house rules. Given that this is an expensive B&B we would not expect to be on edge! Different terms were emailed to us after booking. Tight timing/regimented breakfast \[8.30 - 9.00\]. Room cleaning at certain times - or you miss it! Early check out with surcharges if you were even a little delayed in departure. The negatives brought down our rating - without the negatives the ratings should be 9/10 \[although an expensive B&B\]. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stephen 30 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Avoid this place. At GBP200 per night, this place should be avoided. Bed uncomfortable, location inconvenient but the main issue is the stupid rules they impose (not mentioned at the time the property was booked, I might add). Breakfast only served within a 30 minute window (0830-0900) on weekdays and 45 minutes on weekends (0830-0915). Takeaway food is totally forbidden on the premises (penalties and expulsion threatened). Yet they don't offer food themselves after breakfast. They do offer to serve you a drink from the bar but you have to ring a number as the place isn't staffed most of the time. These people should not be hospitality sector operators. On the plus side, bathroom great, wifi decent but it should only be used as a last resort. Definitely not wheelchair friendly for those that need that. ##### Stephen Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very comfortable room, good breakfast choice, magnificent location and views.

We were in the annex, which has it's own lounge - very nice. Walks to Wray Castle and up onto the hills right outside the door, with details of several walks provided in the hotel. More breakfast than I could eat, really recommend the cumbrian breakfast though.. ##### Tim Stayed 4 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### andrew 3 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely authentic luxury arts and craft property Lovingly restored , fabulous location , good views , comfortable beds , modern bathrooms .

The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever NOT slept in, as I didn’t sleep due to the bed. Place is clean, breakfast was alright - but I don’t think it was 5\* but then again sleep is a massive thing for me. ##### belinda Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah, Gwent 1 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful B&B with access to the fells We had a fantastic stay in Nanny Brow. We stayed in the Whitwell suite which was very comfortable and beautifully furnished, and had great views of the Brathay Valley. The house itself is lovely and set in beautiful gardens. The breakfast was delicious and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Nanny Brow is well situated for walkers and there is a nice walk into Ambleside from the house. There are also plenty of great restaurants nearby and Sue, when we booked, very helpfully provided a list of recommended places to eat. This definitely was a luxurious experience. ##### Deborah Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Vicki, Hong Kong 1 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel in a tranquil environment. 5 minutes drive to Ambleside Town Centre. Friendly and helpful staff. Starting point for a walk to the surrounding mountains with stunning views of tarns and fells which you should not miss. They provide clear direction and instruction for the walks so just ask. Nice mountain and river view from the hotel room. Lovely daily cakes from the hotel. Breakfast is excellent. Convenient location as a base to explore the lake district. Would definitely recommend! ##### Vicki Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mindy 20 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely views and a babbling brook Stayed in the Skelwith room.

Breakfast was delicious and all the team working at Nanny Brow were delightful.

Large, wonderfully presented en-suite shower room with wonderfully powerful shower. Friendly animals and even friendlier staff, with nothing too much trouble. Breakfasts were simply wonderful — amazing cooked breakfasts, or scotch pancakes/porridge/scrambled egg with smoked salmon etc, selection of cereals, a huge bowl of the tastiest fruit salad. We would both love to return here. ##### Jeff Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DebVin, Essex 29 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The best B&B!

We stayed in the Loweswater suite and it was perfect. It was very clean and well designed. The breakfast was perfect with buffet style and full breakfast available. All food was top quality as was the service we received. The bonus was that we had fresh baked cake everyday of our stay. I can not fault this hotel. If you go here you will not be disappointed. ##### Donna Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Alan 4 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lake District mini break Beautiful place to visit, lovely main house and wonderful breakfast. Sadly, it wasn't clear when we booked that we would be in a small bedroom in an annex to the main house, which took the edge off our overall experience. ##### Alan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin 7 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantasic stay at Nanny Brow Nanny Brow was exactly what you would expect from a 5 star Guest house. Spotless, very comfortable and terrific staff. Breakfast was exceptional and the home baking in the room was a very nice touch. ##### Kevin Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
