Compston House B & B

Ubicación y excelente desayuno

Compston House B&B is a lovely guest house situated in Ambleside, in the Lake District. We had the pleasure of spending four nights there, and it proved to be a wonderful experience. We adored the hosts, Megan and John, who were invariably warm, polite, and full of interesting recommendations. Breakfast was exceptional and generous. Ambleside is a vibrant, beautiful town, perfectly positioned for exploring the southern lakes, the mountain ranges, and the northern lakes alike. We loved every aspect of our stay.

Ideal location close to the town centre. Clean, comfortable and good value for money.

Amazing location - 1 min walk from town centre. Free parking permit on any of the council carparks included! My room was small but big enough for me. Basic equipment, but adequate to the price I paid. Absolutely amazing breakfast - coffee and sausages FIRST CLASS. Everything was freshly prepared and delicious. Super cute and friendly hosts and their sweet doggo Mia!

The only thing I was missing was some kind of shelving or rack in the shower for cosmetics, would be more comfortable to reach for them rather than bending down.

Lovely cosy room Bathroom was very small but it was the budget room so that’s expected Bedroom had plenty of space Breakfast was good Had to wait around a bit to find parking in the approved car parks but was fine Staff were very friendly and helpful

4pm check in is late, but when I asked if I could arrive earlier they said yes so always worth asking

Breakfast was great, staff were wonderful - very welcoming. The bed was comfortable. Great location too.

tiny bathroom but clean and very functional so not complaining!

Wonderful stay. Brilliant owners. The little touches in rooms and breakfast are lush. Highly recommend.

That we couldn't stay longer

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely B&B. The staff were so friendly and welcoming—John made check-in a breeze and Meg was absolutely lovely at breakfast. The location was perfect for exploring, and the parking permit was a real gem, giving us access to spots all over the Lakes. Would definitely stay again!

Once again excellent it's not the first time we stayed here and this won't be the last. Location is great, breakfast is excellent and the host are amazing everything is perfect

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Staying at John and Megan’s B&B was an absolute joy. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth that made us feel right at home. The house is beautifully kept, full of charm and character, and every detail has clearly been thought through with care and love. The room was spotless, cozy, and so comfortable—we slept better than we have in ages. Breakfast was a real highlight: fresh, delicious, and made with such attention to detail. It felt more like being looked after by old friends than just staying at a guesthouse. John and Megan are the kind of hosts who go above and beyond to make your stay special. They’re warm, attentive without being intrusive, and always ready with great recommendations for local spots. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and already planning when we can return. If you’re looking for a truly welcoming place with wonderful hosts, look no further. John and Megan’s B&B is a gem.

Very Convenient location, very comfortable , clean.

Only thing I would say some of the rooms a little small, especially on suites I budget rooms .

The hosts, Meg and John, were extremely friendly and accommodating. We added an extra night at the last minute and they were able to help us out easily. The breakfast was amazing. Such a variety to choose from and so much food. The location was great. Easy to walk everywhere and close to public transport. We had a car and had no trouble with parking.

Nothing to say. We loved it.

Great location. Comfy room, friendly owners and a tasty breakfast

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was perfect with plenty of choice and the best pancakes I've ever had. Great location.

Central and overall good standard . Owners were friendly and helpful . Breakfast choices were very good. Toiletries were good .

Wash hand basin was very tiny but given the single room en-suite was small I understand why

We liked the room which was clean and comfortable however,the stairs were tricky because we were on the top floor and one of us has mobility problems, the breakfasts however were marvellous for us being non meat eaters the alternative choices were great!

As I said the stairs were a bit tricky,but because we booked late we had to take what was available

Everything was spot on the owners were fantastic couldn't do enuf for us

The bed was a bit small but that's becoz we're use to super king.

The location is in the middle of town so ideal. Hosts were really nice and told me where I could park which is 2 mins away and also letting us leave our cases as we arrived early. Breakfast was beautiful and bed comfy.

On the main road to the lake so if you are a light sleeper you will hear cars driving past till 11pm and starting again around 6 am. The room we had was well in need of refurbishment which we were told were due to be done so if I booked again I would check I had a newly renovated room away from the road. Would preferably have a material bed head as couldn't prop up comfortably on metal one.

Great location and hosts were lovely.
