Elder Grove - A Victorian bed and breakfast in Ambleside with en-suite rooms, local breakfasts, and proximity to Lake District walks

Elder Grove offers ten en-suite rooms with views of Ambleside and Loughrigg Fell, featuring superking beds, seating areas, and baths with showers. A Cumbrian breakfast, made with local produce like Lakeland Hog Roast sausage from Garside's and eggs from Bannerigg Farm, is served in a slate-walled dining room. The B&B is a two-minute walk from Ambleside's town center, pubs, and bus stops for routes 555 and 556, providing access to Keswick and Kendal. Guests can explore nearby walks like Stock Ghyll Force or Loughrigg Fell directly from Elder Grove's doorstep. The property includes free Wi-Fi, a drying room for hiking gear, and private parking.

Pros

The Victorian building retains original features, complemented by modern amenities like free Wi-Fi and en-suite bathrooms.

Breakfast uses locally sourced ingredients, including bread from Peggy's Bakery and butter from Winter Tarn Dairy.

Proximity to Ambleside's center allows easy access to restaurants, pubs, and public transport.

Private parking is available, eliminating the need for street parking in the busy town.

Rooms include seating areas with bay windows overlooking Ambleside and the fells.

Cons

No family rooms or accommodations for children under 12 due to the property's staircase layout.

Limited evening dining options on-site, with only a small selection of drinks available in the lounges.

“This Ambleside B&B nails the balance of location and thoughtful details. Expect immaculate rooms and a breakfast spread that champions local produce-those homemade marmalades are a highlight. The bonus of on-site parking is a genuine advantage in this bustling town.”
