An ideally situated small private hotel adjacent to the centre of Ambleside.The hotel is very clean and comfortable and the food which we have enjoyed there was of a high standard, plentiful and varied.

Stayed here from Monday to Saturday and would highly recommend it. Was made to feel very welcome and comfortable during my stay. Room was very clean and bed very comfortable (which was welcomed after cycling the nearby hills !). For me the two real plus points was the location (easy walking distance to restaurants and pubs) and the breakfast !... More

Fabulous place to spend a few days relaxing and catching up. Good size room and en-suite, all lovely and clean. Super breakfast to set you up for the day, whatever that brings. Good to make use of the nearby Leisure Facilities which are available. Lovely welcome upon arrival and made to feel welcome throughout. More

This time we had four rooms in five nights. We walked the hill during days and needed a good place to rest in during nights. Smallwood did a perfect job last year so we choosed them also this year. Will probably be them also next year :-) More

Just had a few days stay in Ambleside and this Guest House was just what we needed. It was very central, had parking spaces and the room we were in was a very good size, clean and bright. It had a great view of the town through the big bay window. It was a little noisy on a morning as... More

Smallwood house is a great B&B located in the centre of Ableside. We were travelling with our five month old son and stayed with them for two nights. A cot was set up for us in the room when we arrived and a highchair was available for breakfast. The room was very comfortable and while our son took naps I... More
