Breakfast is amazing, with a-la-carte eggs, and buffet with yogurt parfaits, breads, and other snacks. Beautiful dining room. On-site parking is an authentic local experience, but much appreciated. Staff were really wonderful and helpful. After-hours check in was flawless.

Haven Cottage is an amazing place to stay. The owners Amanda and Mark make you feel very welcome. Their love for running a B&B and indulging guests is felt in every detail, from the furnishing and decoration of the rooms to the delicious breakfast. Mark gave us some very useful recommendations to explore the beautiful surroundings. Amanda's afternoon cakes are superb. EV-charger at private parking worked very well. It felt like 'Heaven' in Haven Cottage.

    The hotel staff were brilliant. A lovely designed doggy friendly hotel. The bar and restaurant served amazing food and drinks and felt very at home with our dog able to sit with us too. The breakfast choice was also really good! Nice that it wasn't a buffet either. The location is great, a short walk into Ambleside town centre and lots of walks just a few steps away to go on as well!
