Stayed here for only two nights as a last minute getaway and had a lovely time. Breakfast was great, lots of choice and great host. Location is close to restaurants and shops in ambleside. Rooms were clean and had everything you could need for a break away. Would definately stay here again.

Great central location. Good as a base to explore the lakes but by no means a luxury hotel, dont expect any luxuries. It is quite cheap and basic but as a base for walkers that's fine with me. Breakfast was good too.

Have stayed here twice already and will continue to come back here when we wish to have a break in the Lakes. Great location in the centre of Ambleside, with car-parking thrown in a great base to explore the central lakes from - plenty of restaurants, shops and things to do near by. The owners provide a fantastic breakfast -... More

We stayed at Norwood House for 4 nights recently and enjoyed the comfortable feel of the house, the breakfast and the owner Keith! Parking was available a short walk from the guest house. Starting with the house - very relaxed with wifi available, a good selection of local walking trail books, comfortable beds and lovely hot radiators to warm up... More

Unfortunately for our brief stay it rained the whole time, so we didn't see the best of the area, but our room was great, bed comfortable and the room was very clean. The full English breakfast was very good, with choices to suit any taste.

Booked 3 rooms for a family break to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.As Always the service was brill and the rooms we booked spot on. Big benefit of Norwood is the ability to use the drying room facilaties that are provided especially this summer ! if you are a keen walker Thanks for a great couple of days

We booked a stay in the Lakes for our 10th Wedding Anniversary. Norwood House is a very warm, inviting place to stay and the friendliness and service from the owners was second to none. The full English breakfast certainly set us up for the cycling and walking!!! We would definitely recommend Norwood House to others.

It had been several years since we last visited Norwood House but we soon felt right at home again. The room was lovely with crisp linen on a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was amazing and Keith was as helpful and attentive as ever. There is a small sitting area downstairs which we made use of , though apparently not... More

Stayed for two nights at Norwood House. Keith and Lynsey are a very welcoming couple and the Guest House is very comfortable. Breakfasts are superb. Would recommend for a nice central location in the lovely town of Ambleside.

I cannot fault the standard of accommodation and hospitality at Norwood House. We stayed with two other couples and we each had high standard rooms with every comfort. The welcome was warm and the breakfast was excellent and plentiful. Norwood House is conveniently situated in the village of Ambleside and within easy walking distance of many restaurants, pubs and bars.... More
