“Loved the big old house, big rooms ornate ceilings, hosts Paul and Rachel were excellent, breakfast choice and quality was first class. ”

“Paul and Rachel were fantastic hosts and could not do enough for us. We eloped during our stay and Paul and Rachel made sure that our stay was even more memorable with flowers, chocolates, a congratulatory card and some fizz, which was a lovely surprise! They made us feel so at home and welcome, the room was gorgeous and clean and the breakfast was absolutely delicious and set us up for the day everyday. We can't wait to come back.” Read more

“Foxghyll B&B is amazing! Paul and Rachel were fantastic hosts. They gave us great advice for walks and hikes, as well as restaurants, and they were super friendly. It was our wedding anniversary as well, and they had champagne waiting for us! And in COVID times, they are very good at maintaining distance between guests and staggering breakfast times for everyone. The location is nice and quiet, with a hike starting right behind the house, and it's about a 15-20 min walk into Ambleside. Definitely would stay here again.” Read more

“We were made to feel very welcome by Paul and Rachel, nothing was too much trouble for them, and we felt that Foxghyll was very special. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, with en suite bathroom and a separate shower room, and also had direct access to the rear garden. Breakfast was superb every day, with lots of choice, and perfectly prepared and presented. Foxghyll occupies a lovely location between Ambleside and Rydal, with access to good local walks. We look forward to returning soon.” Read more

“Paul and Rachel are fantastic hosts! The house is beautiful and spotless clean! I mean it is SPOTLESS! The bed was really comfortable, the view from the room was superb ( especially with a glass of wine and a book ), the bathroom was nice and bright. Loved the interior throughout the shared areas! The breakfast was cooked by the couple and was so well done! I loved the location as it was about 15mins walk from the busy Ambleside and just tucked away nicely from all the crowds. I shall definitely return there some day!” Read more
