Wanslea Guest House

Delightful stay with excellent hosts & comfy facilities in the Africa Room (even the leopard print hair-dryer). Breakfast was good & flexible options available depending on dietary needs. Good advice on places to visit by the hosts.

A well kept B&B run by a lovely, friendly couple. Only a short walk from Ambleside and very close to a bus stop with frequent buses all through the central Lakes.

Quick check in, very good breakfast, comfortable and clean room. The owners are very friendly and provide great suggestions for walking trails or places to see / eat. Walking distance to several restaurants and beautiful trails.

We stayed at the Wanslea on a short motorcycle trip to Ambleside. The rooms were spotless and the building is in an excellent location. A member of our party was staying in another hotel but the owners of the Wanslea were kind enough to accommodate him for breakfast. The entire experience was lovely and the owners were incredibly welcoming. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

The Africa room was very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent

Great hosts, spotlessly clean, well kept. Happy guests

Lovely stay. Warm welcome from Steve on arrival. Explained parking, limited at property but free at pay and display when displaying parking card that Steve gave us. Fantastic room, very spacious. Tea, coffee, glasses, cork screw, iron and ironing board. Great breakfast, order evening before. Cereal, juice available also. Steve and Tina were excellent hosts...not forgetting Charlie. Definitely recommended.

Found a delightful guest house in Ambleside with friendly hosts, Steve and Tina. Our room (1) was spacious, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The room was to the back of the property and was very quiet. It had a small car park, but there are free passes for the carpark nearby. Breakfast was a choice from a set menu which was freshly made.

service, hospitality, cleanliness, private. ease of getting into and out of Ambleside. would fully recommend.

Great location. Traditional and attractive well maintained building. Hosts very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast very nice. Room very comfortable. The only issue you could have is with the limited parking. Permits for the nearby parking lot was available also.

Stayed at Wanslea and overall an excellent stay and will 100% stay again in the future. Owner does everything to help and very friendly. Just out the centre but that’s no issue. Perfect for nearby hikes.

Friendly hosts, super clean and characterful.

Wanslea Guest House is a comfortable and welcoming place. It is close to shopping and food as well as a short walk to the Windermere cruises. The hosts are so helpful, without being intrusive. Steve’s recommendations for walks and excursions are invaluable. The breakfasts are delicious! I cannot recommend Wanslea highly enough and would definitely visit again.

Great rooms and bathroom, extremely clean ,I assume recently renovated and very spacious. Owner was very friendly and helpful.

Wanslea Guest house was just what I needed, an oasis in England's beautiful Lake District. The owners spoil you with a wonderful breakfast (many food options), incredibly clean rooms, a well stocked tea cart, comfortable furniture. I would return here in a heartbeat!

Lovely host fantastic african room very spacious and spotlessly clean. Lovely breakfast.would recommend Would stay again. 5 stars ⭐

From start to finish it was a great stay. Really clean! Very friendly! Lovely breakfasts! Would definitely stay there again.

Lovely clean B&B. Hosts were very friendly. Great breakfast included. Would definitely stay again if visiting the lakes.

Booked a single room for 3 nights, which was on the top floor. The owners were very warm and welcoming when I arrived, plus the additional excited welcome from little Charlie was adorable. The room was lovely and clean, bed was comfy and bathroom was spotless. Shower was a good pressure and temperature and I love that they use Out of Eden bathroom products, both eco friendly and cruelty free. Breakfast was served between 8 and 8.45, which you chose the night before, and was absolutely delicious with a good selection to choose from. By staying here you also get a discount at a couple of restaurants in the town and a parking pass for various car parks in the local area, which is a bonus. There is limited parking on site (I’d say max 3-4 vehicles) but the pass gives you free parking at the car park roughly 4 doors down from the guesthouse. It’s a great location, only a short walk in to the town and the waterfront. I had a slight issue with the temperature of the room on the first night, I was very cold overnight, but the owners were so helpful when I brought it up and offered to put an extra heater in my room with an additional duvet. This really helped make my stay more comfortable. Thank you Tina and Steve for everything and I hope your break is as enjoyable as mine.

Great location for the town, fabulous welcome, very informative. Lovely clean and spacious bedroom and fantastic breakfast. Would highly recommend
