Foxghyll Country House, Under Loughrigg, Ambleside, LA22 9LL, United Kingdom –

to get started.

Everything it is stunning . Paul is the perfect host . Ten minute walk to centre of Ambleside

Barbara, United Kingdom

Paul and Rachel were excellent hosts - they were very warm, and welcoming, and they had lots of great advice about the area and where to go. Making sure that their guests have a fantastic stay is clearly very important to them. The room was beautiful and incredibly clean, and the location was stunning. You could walk to Ambleside in around 15-20 minutes (along a very pretty path) and there were great walks leaving from the garden of the B&B. My partner and I couldn't have had a better trip to the Lake District and we would both highly recommend Foxghyll Country House.

Elizabeth, United Kingdom

Setting is superb - the room was tastefully furnished and fully equipped. Definitely a FULL English breakfast and mine host’s service and advice faultless.
