Lovely B&B, beautifully appointed and perfectly located. The owners are really friendly, and the breakfast excellent. The bonus of off-site parking was ideal as parking in Ambleside is understandably difficult. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved our stay at Melrose Guest House, fantastic location, it was spotlessly clean, breakfast was amazing, and nothing was too much trouble! We wanted to run the local Parkrun, and weren’t going to be available during breakfast times, so a breakfast tray was organised for us to enjoy later in the morning when we got back. Will definitely stay again if we return to the area.

Good B&B would stay there again. Minor gripe on my single room with separate bathroom is the dressing gown was small for me, I am tall, the bed squeaked at the slightest moment and the room was too warm for me but I do like to be cool at night so that's a personal preference, as I say minor gripe that wouldn't stop me staying there again.

What a wonderful first stay we had! Lovely greeting and check in to our room which was beautiful and so clean. Breakfast was incredible! I ordered the avocado on toast 3 mornings in a row! Kevin and Tracey were fantastic, always on hand if needed. The area is beautiful and the street was very quiet when we were here. Great walks, even in the rain we had it didn’t spoil a thing. The car park was super handy as we drove, very safe and only a 3 minute walk away. We would most definitely return and recommend Melrose guest house to anyone wishing to visit the lakes.
