Fantastic guest house right in the heart of Ambleside, everything is on your doorstep. Hosts were friendly and really helpful, good local knowledge of walks etc. Room was spotless, great en-suit. The breakfast was amazing, we had a full English first morning, lovely coffee, yogurt with honey and granola, which set us up for a full day of walking, second day we had the salmon and eggs, again with coffee, yogurt with honey and granola, great quality produce, I'd say award winning! Will certainly be back.

The lodging experience the way it should be

Whereas I have had serious issues with my previous lodging during this trip (Kendal, Windermere), this place is hands down the most wonderful site. Clean. Comfortable. Great breakfast. Accommodating storage needs. Firm and hot shower with new fixtures. Quiet. Great bed and clean sheets. Clean carpet throughout the guest home. Hosts are knowledgable and friendly.

Just what I needed

Kevin and Tracey were the perfect hosts. I booked the room very short notice after arriving in Ambleside but was greeted by Kevin who showed me where to park, my room, and pointed out the best pubs and restaurants to visit in the evening.

I used the secure parking down the road which was handy (Not sure what I selected on the parking section of the previous page of this review as the options were blank for some reason).
Room was perfect for my needs, very clean, comfortable bed, and all the amenities I required for my short stay, the bathroom was also very clean and modern.

Breakfast was my favourite part of the stay, it was just what I needed before climbing Helvellyn.

I would have loved to have stayed another night but needed to get home. I would definitely stay again next time I am in Ambleside, thank you!

The perfect place to stay. We stayed in Room 2 and it was beautiful, very spacious and comfortable. Bed was so comfy, en-suite was wonderful - has the best shower. Breakfast was a highlight, chosen the night before with so many options, we were spoiled for choice, and that’s how we felt very spoiled. Tracey and Kevin are the perfect hosts, friendly, kind, welcoming and knowledgeable about the area which is very helpful.
The house is perfectly situated in a quiet part of Ambleside but everything is within walking distance from shops to crazy golf. We hope to return again soon.

Absolutely loved our stay at Melrose Guest House, fantastic location, it was spotlessly clean, breakfast was amazing, and nothing was too much trouble! We wanted to run the local Parkrun, and weren’t going to be available during breakfast times, so a breakfast tray was organised for us to enjoy later in the morning when we got back. Will definitely stay again if we return to the area.

Good B&B would stay there again. Minor gripe on my single room with separate bathroom is the dressing gown was small for me, I am tall, the bed squeaked at the slightest moment and the room was too warm for me but I do like to be cool at night so that's a personal preference, as I say minor gripe that wouldn't stop me staying there again.

What a wonderful first stay we had! Lovely greeting and check in to our room which was beautiful and so clean. Breakfast was incredible! I ordered the avocado on toast 3 mornings in a row! Kevin and Tracey were fantastic, always on hand if needed. The area is beautiful and the street was very quiet when we were here. Great walks, even in the rain we had it didn’t spoil a thing. The car park was super handy as we drove, very safe and only a 3 minute walk away. We would most definitely return and recommend Melrose guest house to anyone wishing to visit the lakes.

Great location, couple of minutes walk from the restaurants. The breakfast was excellent, clearly using best quality produce. There's an EV charging point just around the corner. The guesthouse parking is about 5 mins walk away by the main carpark.

Fantastic

Fantastic stay! Very clean room, centrally located and great breakfast. Tracy and Kevin were helpful with maps and suggestions for hikes. I did not bring a car and the bus stop was 2 min walk from the guest house. I was able to get to everywhere I needed. Will definitely be back

Exceptional Accommodation

We stayed for 7 nights B&B. Our accommodation was very clean, complete with absolutely no issues. Our hosts Kevin & Tracey are a lovely couple who, when required, between them seemed always available with very helpful words of guidance on any given aspect of holiday break.
A truly exceptional Guesthouse in the centre of a lovely village. We will certainly be revisiting Tracey & Kevin when we get back to the Lake district.

Lake District Visit

Absolutely nothing to say negatively about Melrose House. Our room was spacious, updated bathroom, quiet, comfy king-sized bed, and wonderful breakfast options. The location in the middle of town was quite convenient. Parking is a bit away from the guesthouse, but there are options to bring the car closer, if needed.

Ambleside ambience

A weekend stay at the Melrose GH was a great short trip at a lovely place to stay. The welcome was friendly and answered my concerns over parking. The parking is about 250 metres down the road but is gate secured and convenient enough.
Single room very comfortable with a lovely bathroom across the landing.
Breakfast was tasty with a good range of options.
I was allowed to leave my car in the parking after checking out which was much appreciated. Thanks for a great weekend.
