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.

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 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.

Best room we've ever stayed in
The Arabian Nights room was the best room in a guesthouse we've ever stayed in. It had everything we needed - comfy bed, warmth, bath, plenty of tea. Breakfast perfectly tailored each day.

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!
