Stylish American B&B, superb American or English breakfasts, non-smoking, en-suite rooms, king bed

Compston House is a delightful American style B&B in central Lakes Ambleside. Hosts Sue and Jerry are from New York, and guests can expect both a warm welcome, charming hospitality and a blend of Cumbrian and American styles. This luxurious and beautifully decorated B&B has an American flavour throughout, with all bedrooms individually decorated in a light-hearted American style. Guests will love the guest lounge, which is furnished with original American Art Deco furniture from the 1940's. No need to worry about parking in bustling Ambleside, guests always have access to free parking at Compston House. Deluxe rooms come with an off-road parking space, whilst all other rooms come with a parking permit for free parking in local car parks. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate children under 16 or pets.

Breakfasts at Compston House B&B are a superb event. We combine top quality ingredients that capture the true flavors of Cumbria, with authentic American recipes. We are pleased to serve award winning (Silver Award) local Cumberland Sausage and Home Cured Bacon from Clayton's Butchers in Ambleside, local free range eggs, fresh ground coffee and Lakeland Special tea from Farrer's in Kendal. The pancakes Sue makes are fresh and homemade, using an authentic American recipe and the muffins, which Sue usually makes on Sunday mornings, are also homemade, freshly baked, and typical of those served in America.
