We highly recommend this B&B. The room (Florida) was clean, comfortable and had good views out over park. Owners were friendly and helpful and not overbearing. Breakfast table was laid impeccably. All breakfast needs were catered for from the quality bacon to the excellent array of toasted breads to the local cumberland sausage. The pancakes were light and tasty and... More

Compston House is a spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, contemporary guest house. Sue and Jerry, the hosts, are great company and nothing is too much trouble for them. The breakfasts are absolutely stunning, without doubt the best ever. We can't recommend Compston House highly enough and will definitely return. It isn't just a holiday it's an experience!

When we had the opportunity to pay Ambleside a flying visit we checked in again and can happily report that the standards have been thoroughly maintained. The rooms are very clean... More

On arrival we were greeted by Sue so warmly that we were a little overwhelmed! Following that Sue told us that she'd given us a complimentary upgrade due to it being quiet... More

There are lots of lovely little touches, which added to the pleasure of our stay. Our room was spacious, bright, very clean and warm. We stayed in Maine and had a... More
