Steve and Tina make sure you feel welcome. On site car parking a bonus. Excellent breakfast. Room kept very clean. Overall very enjoyable stay
Tom
Great breakfast, comfy beds, and easy access to Ambleside itself
Vicky
The room was lovely very spacious and clean, the bed was very comfy and the breakfast was delicious. We were given a parking pass and the carpark was a stonesthrow from the property. We were very close to the shops, pubs and restraunts and to lake windermere. We had a fabulous stay and will definitely return.
Craig
Wonderful B&B in a great location half way between the town and the lake. The room was very comfortable and had everything I needed for my 2 night stay. everything was clean and fully functional and they’d obviously considered previous guests’ feedback on all the little things like plenty of hooks on doors, shower shelf etc. The breakfast is great and you can choose what you want the night before. I’ll definitely stay here again!
Montse
We had a wonderful stay. The couple who run it were incredibly lovely and attentive, making us feel right at home. The place was spotless, cozy, and full of character. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

Weekend Stay
We had a lovely stay at the Wanslea Guest House for our anniversary weekend Steve and Tina were amazing hosts helping with our every need and serving a delicious breakfast each day, our room was very spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed, we would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others
Arifkhan
Parking is a first thing, followed by location and the facilities. Everything 10/10
Philip
Good before, excellent now
We last stayed 9 years ago, and liked the location and the room.
Since then, the new owners have spruced it up - we stayed in the same room and it retains it's character while benefitting from an ultra modern, pristine bathroom alongside the tastefully refreshed decor.
In addition, you're now given a parking permit which can be used around many nearby towns (you might need to ask for it).
Lovely breakfast, lovely people.

A very friendly welcome. Easy check-in. Dining options explained including excellent choices. Very clean and tidy room and ensuite. All the expected facilities. Comfortable bed and no noise from other guests. Breakfast was very good. Good portions served quickly and attentively. Would highly recommend. When I'm in the area again this will be my first choice.
Sharon
Would Definitely Return!
Wanslea House was amazing! Steve and Tina are great hosts. We felt very welcome and right at home. We loved the recommendations for things to do — everything was perfect. Breakfast was also great; be sure to try the homemade jams too! We’ll definitely be back one day.

Maria

M Mahmoud
Lovely place and friendly owners
Excellent guest house. We stayed in the king-sized room which was decently sized and had a recently refurbished bathroom. The room was spacious, airy, and bright.
The place was lovely and we met one of the owners, Steve, who was an absolutely excellent host, incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely interested in his guests. His delightful conversations and willingness to share invaluable local tips truly enhanced our experience.
The breakfast which was included in the reservation was delicious and tasty.
The rooms came with kettle and tea bags with milk pots and sugar.
There was free parking in nearby car park which was 2 mins walk away from the hotel.

Fresh and friendly accommodation conveniently located within walking distance of Ambleside, in the heart of the Lake District. Our hosts were ever so friendly and attentive, and the breakfasts were excellent. Our room was clean, comfy and cozy too. Thanks for everything!
Michael
Clean and comfortable place to stay in a really convenient location. It is a short walk to Windermere one way and Ambleside town centre the other. Breakfast was excellent (the bacon is amazing) in a spacious, informal dining room and trust me, you must try the rhubarb and ginger jam. Parking is catered for and not a problem. Owners Tina and Steve are such nice people - friendly and as helpful as could be and very knowledgable about the area. It will be the first place I check for availability when I'm next in Ambleside. A great stay - thank you Tina and Steve. PS - I made it up Wansfell Pike no problem :)
Richard
Beat the Drum
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.
Robert
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.
Johanne
Well located
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.
Adam
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.

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

Comfortable stay
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.

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.

Lovely guesthouse in a lovely location
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.

John
Absolutely fabulous!
Perfect location between the town and lake side with parking available. A beautiful building with gorgeous and immaculate rooms (Africa for us). The perfectly cooked breakfast to start off the day before those walks was very welcome. What ultimately sets this aside above all else are the hosts Steve & Tina. From the moment we arrived to the second we left we were looked after impeccably, we left as if we had known them years. Their recommendations and help planning our days were invaluable and thus we had an amazing memory filled anniversary break. Don’t think twice get it booked!
Thanks again. It was absolutely fabulous and we will definitely be back. J&C

If your looking for a place to stay then look no further. The rooms are spacious and every amenitie you could ask for. The owners are polite and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Full of knowledge of the area and answered all questions.
Breakfast was to die for. Loads of choice and plenty of milk (I love glasses of milk with my breakfast)
Would we stay here again definitely and can't wait to return. Don't forget to say hello to Charlie when you visit

Great little place...but not a luxury location
Based directly across the road from the main garden centre and a 5 minute walk from the main village, location is fairly good. Although too much rain and the road into the village floods.
Parking is an issue, although the hotel provides a parking badge for a car park 2 minutes away. This can also be used for free parking at other car parks in the area.
Breakfast was incredible and a very comfortable eating area.
Only minor issue is that the place needs a more thorough clean. We found hairs around the bath and the room was dated in certain ways, but did not detract from the stay.
