The owners were very warm and welcoming when I arrived, plus the additional excited welcome from little Charlie was adorable. The room was lovely and clean, bed was comfy and bathroom was spotless. Shower was a good pressure and temperature and I love that they use Out of Eden bathroom products, both eco friendly and cruelty free. Breakfast was served between 8 and 8.45, which you chose the night before, and was absolutely delicious with a good selection to choose from. By staying here you also get a discount at a couple of restaurants in the town and a parking pass for various car parks in the local area, which is a bonus. There is limited parking on site (I’d say max 3-4 vehicles) but the pass gives you free parking at the car park roughly 4 doors down from the guesthouse. It’s a great location, only a short walk in to the town and the waterfront. I had a slight issue with the temperature of the room on the first night, I was very cold overnight, but the owners were so helpful when I brought it up and offered to put an extra heater in my room with an additional duvet. This really helped make my stay more comfortable. Thank you Tina and Steve for everything and I hope your break is as enjoyable as mine. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Montse 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a wonderful stay.

Had a great couple nights. ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### M Mahmoud 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely place and friendly owners Excellent guest house. We stayed in the king-sized room which was decently sized and had a recently refurbished bathroom. The room was spacious, airy, and bright. The place was lovely and we met one of the owners, Steve, who was an absolutely excellent host, incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely interested in his guests. His delightful conversations and willingness to share invaluable local tips truly enhanced our experience. The breakfast which was included in the reservation was delicious and tasty. The rooms came with kettle and tea bags with milk pots and sugar. There was free parking in nearby car park which was 2 mins walk away from the hotel. ##### M Mahmoud Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We enjoyed our stay very much the hotel was so clean and tidy and hosts very friendly and welcoming ##### Simon Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 23 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean and comfortable place to stay in a really convenient location. It is a short walk to Windermere one way and Ambleside town centre the other. Breakfast was excellent (the bacon is amazing) in a spacious, informal dining room and trust me, you must try the rhubarb and ginger jam. Parking is catered for and not a problem. Owners Tina and Steve are such nice people - friendly and as helpful as could be and very knowledgable about the area. It will be the first place I check for availability when I'm next in Ambleside. A great stay - thank you Tina and Steve. PS - I made it up Wansfell Pike no problem :) ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 3 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beat the Drum Delightful stay with excellent hosts & comfy facilities in the Africa Room (even the leopard print hair-dryer). Breakfast was good & flexible options available depending on dietary needs. Good advice on places to visit by the hosts. ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 9 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A well kept B&B run by a lovely, friendly couple. Only a short walk from Ambleside and very close to a bus stop with frequent buses all through the central Lakes. ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam 21 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed at the Wanslea on a short motorcycle trip to Ambleside. The rooms were spotless and the building is in an excellent location. A member of our party was staying in another hotel but the owners of the Wanslea were kind enough to accommodate him for breakfast. The entire experience was lovely and the owners were incredibly welcoming. Thank you for a pleasant stay. ##### Adam Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ## 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)
