Traditional Lakeland Slate & Stone Guest House, Great Location On Fringe Of Ambelside. Lovely Views.

Broadview is a quality, friendly, no smoking Guest House offering Bed and Breakfast accommodation in Ambleside in the heart of the English Lake District National Park. Alan & Sue are happily extending their hospitality to both regular & new visitors in this their 8th season. The first paying guests were taken at Broadview around 1956 and although Broadview has remained more or less unchanged, it offers the modern facilities and little extras you would expect to make your stay in the Lake District a special one. The house is fully centrally heated and although we do have the occassional log fire in winter, this is for effect rather than necessity.

Ambleside is in central South Lakes at the head of England largest natural Lake, Windermere. The area has always been a favourite haunt of artists of all disciplines. Wordsworth, Coleridge and Ruskin led this illustrious list whilst Beatrix Potter loved the area so much, it apparently inspired her to write her famous Peter Rabbit stories. She even left a number of properties to the National Trust to be preserved. Broadview is open all year and has 6 attractive letting rooms to suit all; from hardened walkers to weekend ramblers, from holiday makers to couples or friends just wanting that quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Drying facilities are available for coats, boots etc. should you have a wet day on the fells. Packed lunches with Alan's famous home-made cake and flask filling can be provided if required. There is plenty of parking about 100 yards away in the "Lowfold" public car park. Although it is pay & display, each guest room at Broadview has one parking permit allocated so the car park will be free for you to use during your stay at Broadview. As an added benefit, these permits allow you to park your car free of charge in many of the South Lakeland District Council car parks which can save you considerable time and money during your stay. Full details and restrictions are on permit.
