Exceptional. The host was very welcoming, the decor throughout was to a high standard and the breakfast was delicious. We booked a a double room, and stayed as a couple. The room was great size, very clean and comfy. Great location to get get around the area. Would definitely go back. Highly recommend.

Had a fantastic stay at Hillsdale. Steve and Caz were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spotlessly clean, comfy and a good size. Breakfast was amazing. Would definitely stay again and cannot recommend it highly enough.

We didn't just like this place, we loved everything ❤️ can't fault anything. The owners are lovely people, exceptionally clean, spacious, and comfortable rooms. Breakfast was really tasty, excellent verity, and it kept us going all day. Wouldn't look to stay anywhere else. This will definitely be our first choice next time we want to visit Ambleside. 😊

From start to finish of our weekend trip, it was nothing shy of sensational. Steven and Carole were exceptional hosts, local inside information with restaurants to coffee shops, even recommending a local florist to get my mother some white Lillie’s. The bedroom we stayed in was Mr Prickle (8) and every little detail was thought of. Immaculately clean, soft white bedding and fluffy white towels. As for the breakfast… WOW! Hot and cooked to perfection. Not only is this a must stay when visiting the lakes, this will add to your Lake District adventure. Couldn’t recommend this bed and breakfast highly enough. Thanks again Steven and Carole, and can’t wait to visit and stay again!

If you're visiting Ambleside, Hillsdale is the only place to stay. The owners, Steve and Caz are so friendly and welcoming perfect hosts. The guest house is spotless, breakfast is cooked to perfection by Caz and parking is a real bonus. Nothing is too much trouble. There is a bus stop just across the road if you want to forget the car for a few days.

I received a very warm welcome from Caz & Steve at their beautifully presented guesthouse. My en suite room was cosy, the bed super comfortable with quality linen and everything I needed. Spotlessly clean. Location was perfect for exploring Ambleside and buses to other areas were a minute walk away. Free, secure parking provided nearby was a big bonus too. Breakfast was a revelation! Fresh, top quality produce cooked to order with a lovely selection offered and served in the pretty dining room. More boutique hotel than B&B! Incredible value. I can highly recommend Hillsdale for a wonderful stay in the Lake District.
