We spent just one night here. The room was clean and nice, but the tv could be bigger, I've never seen such a tiny tv to be honest... I know you don't come to Lake District to watch tv, but in October it's dark pretty early and we ended up having a beer in a local pub and then watching... More

Excellent accommodation. Clean and well run. Ideally placed for walking Lake District Peaks. Close to Ambleside town centre. Nearest station Windermere. Bus or taxi to Ambleside. Easy car parking on street but not between 1000-1800hrs

We only stayed one night on our way to Scotland. Most of the B&Bs in Ambleside seem to have 4 stars with prices to match. This is a three star place - but I suspect the quality is indistinguishable. The room was generous, the en suite shower room, small but modern and clean. The breakfast was hearty - we didn't... More

Just returned from an enjoyable one night stay With friends at Holme Lea guest house in Ambleside. We have stayed in Ambleside frequently over the years an always have loved the place.

we stayed at HL in Oct 2011, room was great, breakfast was smashing and Pam the landlady happily made us a flask to keep us warm out on the fells... Parking is a pain, but that's Ambleside for you, it's the same for most of the b&b's not just HL. I would recommend this guest house for it's proximity to... More

We stayed at Holme Lea in September 2011. Our room was absolutely beautiful and very large. It was spotlessly clean and appeared recently refurbished. The breakfast was good and the location was right in the centre of town close to everything. This B & B made our stay very enjoyable. The only issue could be the parking as there is... More
