A great place to unwind after a good days walk with a cup of tea or a glass of wine
We would like to welcome you to our home in Ambleside. If you are looking for somewhere a little bit special to rest and unwind after discovering the delights that the Lake District has to offer then Riverside, a converted family home, is probably the B&B for you.
More About UsTotally amazing, Richard and Diney could not have made us more welcome and they could not have been more helpful in helping to plan walks and places to eat. I am amazed that they do this every single day and yet they treated us like we were there first guests. We will definitely be back... I have a feeling we might need to book in plenty of time.
