Very grateful to the owners for warning us of an upcoming road closure in the area enabling us to change our plans to avoid delays. The guest house is well situated being well within walking distance of pubs and restaurants. Loved our room, tastefully decorated and exceptionally clean. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice, particularly liked the fresh strawberries and blueberries. The owners put much thought and care in making us feel welcome. The addition of small touches (homemade cake and flapjacks, wine and refreshments) really do make a huge impact in terms of comfort and enjoyment!
United KingdomIt was clean, comfortable and had everything I needed. Janet and Stuart, my hosts, could not have been more helpful. A really friendly atmosphere.

United KingdomWordsworth was super clean and safe, and very close to local amenities such as bars, shops, restaurants. Parking is provided which is essential. Janet the host couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Breakfast was superb with lots of choice. The room was very spacious with lovely comfortable beds, an ensuite and tea and coffee making facilities. There were home made cakes available in the dining room whenever you wanted and biscuits in the room. Lovely clean, fresh fluffy towels and the rooms were cleaned every day, which we hadn't expected.

Host Info
"Wordsworth's Guest House" is named after the previous owner whose maiden name was "Wordsworth". Anna and her family are descendants of the famous poet William Wordsworth who lived in Grasmere and Rydal and who was inspired by the beautiful landscape to write his wonderful poetry. Our Guest House is a beautiful slate property built circa 1820 with a lovely home from home feel.
My name is Janet Berry. My family - husband Stuart, daughter Laura & I took ownership of Wordsworth's at the end of August 2017 after selling our cafe 'Stiles' in the centre of Ambleside. Myself and Laura run the guest house with a bit of help from Stuart at the weekends. We all have a great love of Ambleside and the Lake District and feel very privileged to be able to live here. Our aim is to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Wordsworths is centrally located between the town centre and the lake. Both are within walking distance. There are numerous cafes and restaurants merely yards away from the front door.
