Ambleside Guest House

The Old Vicarage at Ambleside is more than just a bed and breakfast. As well as comfortable B&B accommodation, it is the only bed and breakfast in Ambleside with its own swimming pool. Along with the hot tub, sauna, guest lounge and extensive terrace, it goes beyond a standard Ambleside Guest House experience.

The bed and breakfast is located only 2 minutes walk from Ambleside town centre, wonderfully situated for trips to Grasmere, Windermere and Keswick. If the Lake District landscape is your passion, there is easy access from the front door of the B&B onto the Lakeland fells and with a little effort you'll enjoy stunning views down Lake Windermere.

To make this even easier, why not park your car in our private car park and leave it there?

Our location in Ambleside makes it easy to walk to the pier for boat trips to Bowness-on-Windermere and Lakeside. If you fancy a drink or meal in the evening, simply walk from the bed and breakfast to an array of Lake District pubs and restaurants, all within easy reach. We hope you will choose to stay at our B&B in Ambleside.

The Old Vicarage is no ordinary Ambleside B&B or Ambleside Hotel. We are family run and take great pride in the warm welcome and friendly atmosphere we create at our Ambleside Bed and Breakfast. Ian and Helen Burt own and manage the B&B, with the support of Liana, their daughter . Liana and her husband have two young boys and you may even see the family dog ‘Jake’ around the B&B.

Ian and Helen Burt bought the Old Vicarage and set up this quality Ambleside bed and breakfast business in 1989, having run their own hotel businesses since 1977. Before that they were involved in hotel management and consultancy in the Lake District and Wales.
