I stayed with my husband and two other friends for a day 38£ per head. Hotel is great and in good location. Car parking is plus point. Normal car parking is 1.50 per hour. Breakfast has variety of choices. Kipper, sausages, egg everything :) We enjoyed a lot. Since it was raining we checked in earlier 1 pm and they... More

This time we had four rooms in five nights. We walked the hill during days and needed a good place to rest in during nights. Smallwood did a perfect job last year so we choosed them also this year. Will probably be them also next year :-) More

It's the first time we've stayed in a hotel / B&B with the kids (two children aged 5) but Smallwood House couldn't have been more accomodating. Lovely big room, all immaculately clean and nicely decorated. Central location meant we could pop out for a takeaway and eat it in the dining room, with a baby alarm to listen out for... More

A cot was set up for us in the room when we arrived and a highchair was available for breakfast. The room was very comfortable and while our son took naps I... More

Room was very clean and probably better than I expected if I'm honest. Comfy bed and pillows, en suite was clean and well stocked. Brilliant views of the hills too. LCD TV and free... More

We were well impressed with this guest house. The high level of cleanliness was commendable; breakfast very good with nice presentation and service; towels were brand new, and the beds were comfortable. The owners were friendly without being intrusive; and there was a neat car park at the rear which is very helpful in Ambleside. The central location (opposite Zefferellis... More
