ナニー ブロー

It was much better than my expectation during my one week stay there. I was looking forward everyday for a piece of cake waiting in my room. Only thing that annoyed me was people stayed a room next to mine slammed doors every time when they in and out the house and their room, but it was only a few days and the rest of days were very quiet.

Wonderful welcome, clean warm room. Good breakfast included vegitarian options.

Second time back and just as charming as ever. Sue and the team has managed the property in good condition even though it’s been like 7 years since I visited last. Ambleside is a very central location in the Lake District area with many choices for dining and activities. The outstanding part of the room is the amazing bathroom with big shower and strong water pressure enabling you to comfortable relax after a long day of hiking. Definitely a recommend if you are looking for a homey place with all the comforts.

Be aware of 4pm Check-in and 10 am check out. A bit tight if only staying one night.

Huge positives: beautiful location, superb views, lovely house, very clean room in very good condition, excellent shower/en suite in very good condition, good breakfast. All deserving of a nine out of ten rating. BUT: we were put on edge by the house rules. Given that this is an expensive B&B we would not expect to be on edge! Different terms were emailed to us after booking. Tight timing/regimented breakfast [8.30 - 9.00]. Room cleaning at certain times - or you miss it! Early check out with surcharges if you were even a little delayed in departure. The negatives brought down our rating - without the negatives the ratings should be 9/10 [although an expensive B&B].

At GBP200 per night, this place should be avoided. Bed uncomfortable, location inconvenient but the main issue is the stupid rules they impose (not mentioned at the time the property was booked, I might add). Breakfast only served within a 30 minute window (0830-0900) on weekdays and 45 minutes on weekends (0830-0915). Takeaway food is totally forbidden on the premises (penalties and expulsion threatened). Yet they don't offer food themselves after breakfast. They do offer to serve you a drink from the bar but you have to ring a number as the place isn't staffed most of the time. These people should not be hospitality sector operators. On the plus side, bathroom great, wifi decent but it should only be used as a last resort. Definitely not wheelchair friendly for those that need that.

Very comfortable room, good breakfast choice, magnificent location and views. Staff friendly and helpful. Location is just over a mile from Ambleside centre.

Been before, came back.. very nice rooms, with fresh cake provided in your room each day. We were in the annex, which has it's own lounge - very nice. Walks to Wray Castle and up onto the hills right outside the door, with details of several walks provided in the hotel. More breakfast than I could eat, really recommend the cumbrian breakfast though..

Lovingly restored , fabulous location , good views , comfortable beds , modern bathrooms . Locally sourced well cooked breakfast . A good walk from the back of the property and lots more help to choose others

We had a excellent experience at Nanny Brow. The house is beautiful, the views are outstanding and the the service was first class.

Beautiful hotel in the hills around Ambleside...very nicely done. Excellent staff and breakfast. Nice meeting the dogs and the cat as well!

The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever NOT slept in, as I didn’t sleep due to the bed. Place is clean, breakfast was alright - but I don’t think it was 5* but then again sleep is a massive thing for me.

We had a fantastic stay in Nanny Brow. We stayed in the Whitwell suite which was very comfortable and beautifully furnished, and had great views of the Brathay Valley. The house itself is lovely and set in beautiful gardens. The breakfast was delicious and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Nanny Brow is well situated for walkers and there is a nice walk into Ambleside from the house. There are also plenty of great restaurants nearby and Sue, when we booked, very helpfully provided a list of recommended places to eat. This definitely was a luxurious experience.

5 minutes drive to Ambleside Town Centre. Friendly and helpful staff. Starting point for a walk to the surrounding mountains with stunning views of tarns and fells which you should not miss. They provide clear direction and instruction for the walks so just ask. Nice mountain and river view from the hotel room. Lovely daily cakes from the hotel. Breakfast is excellent. Convenient location as a base to explore the lake district. Would definitely recommend!

Stayed in the Skelwith room. Lovely view and beautiful walking trails, complete with a babbling brook. Choice of made-to-order breakfast. All of the staff were also incredibly friendly.

Can't recommend this beautiful Arts and Crafts guesthouse highly enough. We were made very welcome and enjoyed our chats with Sue during our stay. Room was lovely, comfortable, beautifully decorated with lots of thoughtful touches that we appreciated. Breakfast was delicious and all the team working at Nanny Brow were delightful. Thankyou - we really enjoyed our stay with you.

Beautiful views to lake Windermere. Nice base to drive and discover surrounding beautiful towns with cozy cafes and restaurants. Scenic hiking trails starting right behind the hotel.

Beautiful location, wonderful room with absolutely stunning views (Brathay Junior Suite), spotlessly clean with fresh cakes daily and selection of specialty teas. Large, wonderfully presented en-suite shower room with wonderfully powerful shower. Friendly animals and even friendlier staff, with nothing too much trouble. Breakfasts were simply wonderful — amazing cooked breakfasts, or scotch pancakes/porridge/scrambled egg with smoked salmon etc, selection of cereals, a huge bowl of the tastiest fruit salad. We would both love to return here.

Extremely helpful staff. Excellent, easy to follow suggestions for beautiful walks. Best fruit salad we have ever had! Outstanding views from the bedroom window. A fantastic place to stay!

Amazing B&B with very nice suites and just at the right distance from the nearby cities. In short it is the perfect place to have some rest.
