Just a short stroll from Ambleside’s village centre, this beautiful Victorian house has excellent breakfasts and 6 boutique-style rooms, many with views of the fells.

Brantfell has a Visit Britain Silver Award and is personally run by the owners, Chris and Jane, who aim to offer a relaxing stay with personalised service. There is a welcoming lounge with a traditional log fire, and free access to the nearby Low Wood Leisure Club.

Brantfell’s surroundings are ideal for exploring the Lake District, and for country pursuits including rambling, climbing, cycling and water-sports.
