What a find Foxghyll was. Myself and my wife have been visiting the Lakes for many years, and had vary degrees of quality and experience in the places we've stayed. However, we stumbled across Foxghyll on a beautiful walk from Ambleside, and were simply blown away by the size and beauty of the property and the rooms. The garden is... More

Had only one night's stay here but the setting is absolutely sublime! Views over Loughrigg are stunning, house itself is a treasure, rooms are large and spacious. Paul is a a very friendly chap, always willing to help or recommend a place to eat. I could have given this Guest House a much lower rating - it has been given... More

Enjoyed a superb few days here. Amazing, large rooms & The setting must be one of the most beautiful in the Ambleside area. The spring flowers and trees could not have been more beautiful--so large and rich, intense and vibrant. The view from the large sweeping gardens over the river and fells beyond is breath-taking. The road to Foxghyll is... More

Full English that... More

The Guest House was easily accessible from both the north and the south (Follow the directions given to you when you book, DO NOT TRUST YOUR SATNAV), and perfectly placed to reach all the attractions of the Lakes. Paul and Marjorie, the... More

This is our fourth visit, after a hiatus of several years, and I am pleased to say that Foxghyll is still the destination we fell in love with all those years ago. Stunning location, with a beautiful, quiet atmosphere. Rooms are just enormous, and just loved the walks from the front door. A superb secret away from the masses in... More

I took my American husband to The Lake District and he loved it, even though we only had 1 really warm sunny day out of the 5 - and 5 hours from Cambridge is quite a trek there AND back, the views are inspirational for his painting and the people were delightful. Foxghyll is a huge country house and the... More
