Quiet location in superb ground floor rooms. Breath-taking views from the magnificent garden. Breakfast served in the privacy of your own room. Ample parking

The Howes B&B is a charming and cosy guesthouse in the heart of Ambleside in the central Lake District. The guesthouse has a modern style and is very well appointed, with private parking, and a lovely terraced garden with fine views. Guests benefit from easy access to all Ambleside has to offer including it's many country pubs, restaurants, the Armitt Museum and exquisite specialist shops. We welcome children and dogs by arrangement to our Bed and Breakfast, and no need to worry about parking in busy Ambleside, as there is space for off-road parking. The guesthouse itself is in a quiet cul-de-sac with few cars and no traffic noise. For the comfort of all our guests we are a non-smoking guesthouse throughout. Guests can relax and enjoy magnificent views from the B&B stretching out over Ambleside towards the Lakeland hills. The Howes is situated just a short, convenient stroll from the centre of Ambleside, a bustling, lively little town. It is however off the beaten track, away from any traffic noise, with many walks beginning right from the door.

Our emphasis is very much on informality and peaceful relaxation at the Howes BandB. Guests can take breakfast at a time to suite them each morning between 8-9am, and breakfast is served within the privacy of your own room. On fine mornings, a leisurely breakfast can be enjoyed out of doors, in our sunny, terraced garden. Guests may use a door key, allowing free access to bedrooms during the day and you are welcome to enjoy the garden and its fine views.
