Saw that Melrose had vacancies and on enquiry was shown a room. Absolutely first rate. The Lyn and Alan were most helpful and friendly. Full english breakfast was well presented and enormous, tasty too!! We were well pleased.We will certainly stay there again when possible. More

Who can fault that?? it's not our first time as guests of Melrose and i'm sure it won't... More

We had a lovely stay at Melrose - coming up after work meant we arrived a bit later but we had such a warm welcome from Lyn when we arrived. Breakfast was really nice and lots of it - just what is needed before a long walk in the Lakes. Alan was full of handy hints and great places to... More

We recently stayed at the Melrose Guesthouse in Ambleside, Cumbria for a New Year break. I would just like to say that we had a fantastic stay. Alan and Lynn are wonderful hosts, the food was excellent and the room was great, looking forward to returning very soon. Thank you from Steve and June More

Lynn and Alan were so helpful, even to the point of lending a harness to use at the local Climbing wall (weather was horrendous so we had to stay indoors!), and breakfasts were always timely, and delicious. The room itself was very clean, we stayed in the family room as a couple as we booked late, and it was over... More

I couldnt recommend this guesthouse enough. Right from the moment of placing my booking they were extremely helpful and friendly; from helping me with my food allergy, to allowing us to store or bike in their own garage, to being extremely helpful with local information, and many more things. The room we stayed in was on the top floor. Its... More
