A quality guesthouse in Ambleside, the English Lake District

Visitors have long been enchanted with the picturesque setting in which the whitewashed Waterwheel cottage nestles in the heart of Ambleside. The guesthouse, now a Grade II listed building, sits on an ancient cobbled street overlooking the tumbling waters of Stockghyll. Upon the opposite side of the stream sits the waterwheel that gave the guesthouse its name. The waterwheel can still be seen to turn on occasion.

We have recently renovated the three hundred year old cottage, our aim being to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Nothing twee or chintzy we hope, but an historic and charming bed and breakfast. There are just three bedrooms, all with proper bathrooms, two of which include Victorian-style clawfoot bathtubs.

The many and varied shops, restaurants and hostelries of Ambleside are all but a short walk, or head straight onto the fells that tower over the town.

We look forward to welcoming you to this, the most beautiful corner of England.

Parking provided.
