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!

Great base for exploring the area
Great place to use as a base to explore the area. Not much directly around the property but it is walking distance from Ambleside's pubs and restaurants. Room 1 was nicely renovated, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent!
