Crow How Country Guest House

Location was exilent with very good parking facilities. Breakfast was good and filling with plennty of choice. What was not said in the write up was that the Crow How is located on the bus route linking Windermere, Ambleside, Grassmere and Keswick with a bus stop handy for both directions. This was a real assett with parking limitations in the area. Location I found ideal it was far enough out of Ambleside to be peacefull and quiet but near enogh to be handy.

The only down thing for me (and it was a very minor one) was the bath in my room. This was a dual purpose bath to designed for use as a bath and shower. For me the compromise was too much a cmpromise in favour of the shower. I spent all my days there out walking, when I got back my legs ached so it was nive to have a hot bath to relieve my aching musles. Unfortunatly the shap of the bath was too uncomfertabler to allow a long realaxing soak. This I stress was a very minor point and should not be held against the quest house. I was very gratefull for what I had got

Tranquil setting and in walking distance of Ambleside. Very clean.

Uncomfortable chair/settee in bedroom. Lack of table & chair to sit at inside for own supper.

Prachtige plek en comfortabel verblijf.

Kan ik niet bedenken.

Wunderschöne ländliche Lage - hinter den Haus zudem eine große Wiese, Heurigentisch unter einem riesigen Baum, man hört nur das eine oder andere Schaf... aber nur 10 min Spaziergang nach Ambleside: Weiden, Flüsschen, Bäume... Gutes Frühstück, geräumiges Zimmer, großes Bad, schöne Aussicht. Parkplatz vor dem Haus.

Im kleinen Vorraum des Zimmers geht bei Betreten automatisch das Licht an - auch, wenn man mitten in der Nacht im Halbschlaf ins Bad wandert und nicht unbedingt von einem Lichtblitz getroffen werden möchte... Davon abgesehen: alles bestens !

Wonderful B&B, historic but with modern and updated rooms, hearty and good breakfasts. The hosts were welcoming and helpful.

All excellent, would highly recommend!

Everything was excellent 🤗

There wasn’t one thing about the property that I din’t like it

Atmosfera autentica e colazione veramente buona

Its peaceful setting. The cleanliness of guest house was excellent. A good choice for breakfast on the menu with the waitress staff friendly and very helpful.

Nothing.

Hoe schoon alles was, de omgeving, de ligging en het personeel is heel aardig en vriendelijk

Niets

Beautifully located guesthouse. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the excellent breakfast with various hot options. The fridge in the room was a bonus.

Walking to both Ambleside and Rydal is along the main road, it would have been nice to have easier access to the back roads.

Very welcoming we will be back soon

Everything location staff room was a fantastic size and very clean breakfast was great to

A great selection of breakfast items is available.

El desayuno estupendo, te dan a elegir entre varias opciones. Las camas y las almohadas muy cómodas. Te dejan en la habitación café, te, galletas, ... Muy bien ubicado cerca de muchos lugares interesantes.

A lovely place to relax and rest. Perfect distance from Ambleside, offering both calm and proximity to local pubs and shops. Good place to start walks from. Clean, cozy, spacious room. Beautiful garden.

Beautifully kept guest house in a great location for all our needs. Ambleside is a quaint place with lots of interesting shops,cafes and pubs.. plenty of places for walks and boat trips to appreciate all Windermere has to offer. I highly recommend Crow How. We were made to feel very welcome and the cleanliness and breakfast choices were outstanding. Thankyou

We liked everything 😊

The location is amazing, and if you are reasonably fit, you can walk to either Ambleside or the Badger Bar in Rydal for food and drink. The Breakfasts were amazing, serving fresh fruit and yoghurt every day. Also great selections of cooked food. The room we had was spacious, with a lovely view and a comfortable bed. The gardens were beautiful.

The walk to Rydal along the narrow footpath in places - which was overgrown with weeds - was, in my experience, dangerous given the amount of large vehicles along the main road and having to cross the road twice. We recommend the walk to Ambleside on the main road, as it has a safer footpath and is easier to walk. Unfortunately, at this time of year, August, the swallows had made a mess of the seats in the garden, and we had to clean them to sit down. At times, the signal was poor, and we could not watch some channels and Netflix.

Convenient for Ambleside

Tired, could do with a good clean. Breakfast not the greatest.

Greeted by Lewis in reception, made us feel very welcome, we had forgotten the Thermos flask lent us one. Room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was very good and the lady who served it was friendly and quick.

Nothing

The room view is incredible. The staffs are friendly, we had a very good experience there. Every morning wakes up like a dream.

Easy to find,lovely cute guest house

Nothing,was so lovely in beautiful surroundings. The only slight thing was the lady serving breakfast. Not sure if we should have been down dot on 8.30am-we got there at 8.45am. She seemed quite moody and solemn,not very friendly at all-unlike the couple who own it,who were lovely. Maybe we caught her on a bad day🤷🏻‍♀️

A lovely, peaceful spot, with gardens to wander around and walks on the doorstep. Just a 10 minute stroll into Ambleside Village. Great breakfast and helpful, friendly and obliging staff.

Some of the upholstery in on the chairs in our room was worn through

Superb guest house in lovely location - perfect for walking or trail running from the doorstep ( Coffin route ) or heading for the fells (Fairfield round if the weather is good). Quiet location outside the main centre of Ambleside but only a short walk into the town for shopping and restaurants. We were able to park the car in the guesthouse parking and leave it there for the duration of our stay. The room was spacious, comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean! Drying room a practical bonus. Breakfast absolutely delicious- highlights include the best fruit salad I have had in a while and the Eggs Benedict! Quality thick delicious bacon! Ready supply of fresh milk for tea/ coffee in the bedroom which was lovely and much appreciated.

Bed a little hard for us and pillows not to our liking- but this is personal preference and the next person would not necessarily have a problem. Great to have a fridge in the bedroom but the noise of the fridge woke us both up in the night.

We had a well equipped, very comfortable room with lovely views. The breakfast was great and we were served very quickly when we explained that we wanted to get away early. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Beautiful setting and within easy walking distance from Ambleside. Beautiful gardens and lots of places to sit outside. Nice spacious room and comfortable bed. But the highlight of our stay was the excellent breakfast; which was perfect in every way.

A lovely country guesthouse in a good location away from the busy town. Our room was huge and beautiful and the bathroom amazing. Room 4 . I was so happy with how quiet the room was and how comfortable. There are a few easy walks nearby that allow you to keep away from the main road. The nicest trail was near the stepping stones and led all the way to near the lake. It is actually an access road but every one was walking .. and very few cars. Breakfast was excellent too.

Location lovely in a quiet location 15-20 mins walk outside of Ambleside. Modern bedroom/bathroom. Breakfast great. Staff very friendly. Gorgeous gardens to walk around.

Nothing

Great location with great views. Very clean and space. Very uptodate furniture, fittings, bathrooms and bed. Very warm welcome. Only 20 minutes , nice walk, to Ambleside. I certainly would stay here again.

There was nothing not to like.

Really big room and lovely bath room. Beautiful location and good breakfast.

The hosts were very helpful with excellent tips about walking and eating. And the place itself is a delight. Beautifully set with views of the fells, lovely gardens, and nestled in among working sheep farms. A short walk from town, so no need for a car. Just great.

On the one hand it felt right in the country with stunning surroundings and yet it was a 2 minute drive into town. Prefect location, so chilled. The property itself was beautiful, well maintained and we had and exceptional large room and huge bathroom. Fabulous hosts and the breakfast all freshly cooked to order.

Comfy bed, good shower, house and gardens lovely. Good location, short walk to Ambleside or Rydal. Close to main road and bus route, nearest bus stop only 5 minutes. There is a drying room for coats and boots. I arrived early but had been informed I could park the car there which was very handy, used downstairs loo and walked into Ambleside.

The room was hot.

Lovely little guest house in a lovely location.

Die Lage außerhalb von Ambleside ist sehr schön, das Haus liegt ruhig, es hat einen wunderbaren Garten. Man kommt auch gut zu Fuß in den Ort. Als Ausgangslage für Sightseeing, Wanderungen usw. empfehlen wir die Unterkunft sehr. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, das Frühstück sehr gut. Außerdem gibt es einen kleinen Kühlschrank im Zimmer.

We had everything we could have needed. We genuinely cannot think of anything that could be improved.

Wonderful, convenient location. Great large breakfast, friendly professional staff.

Breakfast room very Spartan Wardrobe in bedroom made noises when passing

Location, style & peacefulness

Could be a little more information provided about the lodge & surrounding access to paths. Small issue

Beautiful guest house, lovely breakfast, fabulous location just 10 minute walk from Ambleside.

There wasn't anything I didn't like

Location, rooms, breakfast were all amazing.

Quiet rural location with parking and only 20 min walk to Ambleside. Our room was very comfortable, breakfast good and we enjoyed views across hills and local cricket ground.

Our stay at the Crow How was wonderful. So relaxing and peaceful and quiet. The room was beautiful with a lovely view and exceptionally clean. The breakfast was excellent. Would definitely return.

Everything was great

Ligging, bereikbaarheid

Bed op kamer 3 was wat minder met name de linkerkant Rechterkant was prima

Beautiful place. The place is about 1 mile from the village center which we loved, easy and beautiful walk to the village. The owner was very friendly and informative.

Lovely manor house in the town of Ambleside- made us feel like royalty- the hosts Jill and Andrew were attentive and easy to talk too- they recommended several places to visit in the area which we added to our daily outings- you will also love Ambleside itself, walking distance from the house with a lively high street , plenty of restaurant choices and darling shops and pubs We liked it so much more than Windermere, that was just down the road Oh and full English breakfast and other choices was superb! A great start to our day

Crow How is a fabulous place to stay within easy walking distance of bustling Ambleside but located in a beautiful, quiet, secluded garden. All the staff are super friendly and very professional The room was squeaky clean with lovely views of the garden and fells. Delicious breakfast too.

Leaving this perfect spot.

Lovely, clean roon. Very nice staff. Lovely location with walks from the front door. Excellent cooked breakfast.

Liked everything

We had an amazing stay at Crow How. The location is unbeatable, close to Ambleside, Rydal and Grasmere but set back from the chaos. The room was very quiet, and the only sound we heard was an owl. Breakfast was superb and the place had an inviting feel. Thank you to the hosts for putting us up such late notice.

The breakfast room was filled with natural light. The waitress was formally dressed and was very professional and caring. The bedroom was extremely spacious with a window and large ensuite. Very comfortable.

Nothing, it was very nice

The staff were extremely friendly, the rooms were modern and clean, and it is in a great location - only a 5/10 minute walk to Ambleside town centre.

Parking spots get taken fast and there aren’t a lot of them!

Beautiful location, comfortable room and great breakfasts

The room was spotless! Both the room and the bathroom were flawless in terms of cleanliness. Everything in this property is executed to high standards - overall state of the place, staff, breakfast. All of this while being serene and quiet while being walkable distance from Ambleside. Thank you, will be back!

Staying at Crow How was so peaceful and beautiful. The view from our window was idyllic, the property incredibly lovely and the hosts as kind and helpful as one would wish

Very nice room with comfortable bed. Magnificent setting in the mountains of Lake District. Close to lots of hiking trails. Great breakfast served. Thank you 😊

Excellent cooked breakfast. Good choices. Quiet, peaceful location. Lovely gardens.

Very good location a short walk from Ambleside. Very peaceful with lovely views over the countryside.

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Place was clean and our room was spacious. Breakfast was simple and we were well catered for. We were able to park on the morning of check-in, so we could go for a wander and then check-in later. Hotel is an easy 15 minute walk from Ambleside and it's various amenities.

Great location, ideal for a relaxing holiday.

The place is very scenic and its a breadth of fresh air. The backyard view was amazing, you will have to around the house to get there. The staff was amazing and the room was what we expected.
