Located about 1 mile from Ambleside, views to river and mountains, grounds you can walk around in. Just enough out of town so as to avoid hussle of town tourists. Staff were very helpful, breakfast good variety. Bed comfy.

David, Australia

Great to see this grand house still operating as an upmarket guest house. Stayed here many years ago and great to see it renovated. Comfortable and quite location with wonderful views. Breakfasts cooked to order.

Brian, United Kingdom

Great breakfast, porridge was a lovely starter. Shower in room was great, really powerfull

Alastair, United Kingdom

Fantastic staff,made to feel welcome,great hospitality

John, United Kingdom

Nanny Brow was luxurious and homely at the same time - with lovely facilities (our room was superb!) as well as really friendly staff who went out of their way to welcome us and make us feel at home. I wanted to take the bed and the shower (actually the whole bathroom) home with me - underfloor heating after a long day walking in the rain is AMAZING. From our room you could literally walk out onto the fells or alternatively, into Ambleside for coffee which was a real plus. Would thoroughly recommend.

Chloe, United Kingdom

The photographs do not do it justice . It is even nicer in reality .

Caroline, United Kingdom

Fantastic location , fantastic B&B , fantastic service

Richard, United Kingdom

This is an absolutely beautiful property the attention to detail is fantastic. We liked everything about it and I have stayed in many many places around the world previously. I would advise anyone to give this wonderful place a try. We will definitely return.

David, United Kingdom

What Travelers Love About This Location

10 “Nanny Brow exceeded our expectations in nearly every way. This is a beautiful building (the pictures online do not do it justice) in a stunning location, managed by marvelous owners and personable staff. I was astonished at the brilliant attention to architectural details and evidence of care at every turn. Sue, the owner, was a delight to talk with about the history of Nanny Brow, and made our stay there one that we will most certainly repeat again in the coming years.”

10 “The location is absolutely amazing. The owners definitely take pride in both the interior decor and the exterior landscaping. Each room is beautifully decorated with comfortable beds, homemade treats each night, and luxurious toiletries. Each night we fell asleep to the sound of quiet country noises coming from our open window. We enjoyed delicious breakfasts with both buffet items, and to order choices. There are trails around the property for a leisurely stroll, and guides available to venture further afield. Sue was a pleasure to chat with and made us feel so welcome. We enjoyed walking around the town, and taking a boat ride in nearby Coniston. We could easily have stayed here longer.”

10 “A lovely Arts and Crafts house beautifully restored by the owner with extensive gardens. A warm welcome, an excellent breakfast, and a very comfortable room. It's a mile or so out of Ambleside so very quiet but in walking distance of the town.”

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

I wanted to take the bed and the shower (actually the whole bathroom) home with me - underfloor heating after a long day walking in the rain is AMAZING. From our room you could literally walk out onto the fells or alternatively, into Ambleside for coffee which was a real plus. Would thoroughly recommend.”
