Absolutely Lovely B&B
We were so happy to have stayed here! Lovely location, convenient to local shops, art gallery, and restaurants. Our room was brilliant: newly remodeled and super comfortable, spacious, and clean. Owners were very kind and helpful, also providing a delicious breakfast. A fantastic B&B, epitomizes the experience one should have in the Lake District. We'll certainly be back!

A lovely family run B&B
This is a lovely B&B and the owners John and Meg go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable and have everything you need. The room was nice and the breakfast was great. Parking is just around the corner in the public car park but you get a permit to park for free, which can actually be used for free parking in other towns too which is handy if you want to explore. The location is very convenient, just a couple of minutes walk from the shops and restaurants, and a short walk to Windermere.

Horrific for £100 a night
The hosts were fine, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good however the room was terrible. Advused once checked in it was the only room in the place that hadn't been refurbished and it was very obvious. The shower and toilet were literally in a cupboard, id sit on the touket and my feet were in the shower. Una le to turn around in shower litetally less than a metre in width. Room very basic, uncomfy bed, minimal everything for £100 a night. Spent the previous night up the road at ambleside central for £45 nighr. Family room, seperate bathroom, kingsize bed, single bed, great facilities. It was like goijg from a 4 star to a 1 star at the compston... Id stay again for location but only for hostel orice of 12 quid a night, not worth a penny more

We stayed here in April 2023. Ambleside is beautiful and Compston House is ideally situated with some great pubs and restaurants. Wonderful hosts who are very knowledgeable about the area. Breakfasts were delicious with a good choice, the room was clean and comfortable and free parking was nearby. Highly recommended.

Great B&B in the heart of Ambleside
Really felt at home in this lovely little gem of a place in Ambleside, nothing too much trouble, breakfast was amazing, a very friendly pleasant and polite young couple hosted us. I only stayed one night as one on route to finishing my holiday in another place but was a welcome place to rest my head thank you.

The perfect traditional B&B
Amazing stay at a lovely B&B. John was incredibly polite and helpful, the parking pass is such a nice touch and we wish we could have stayed longer!! Lovely breakfast that catered to vegetarian diet and the coffee machine in the room was a great touch. Great view to boot!! Thank you! 😊

Meg and John were really accommodating and flexible with our amended check in time. Compston House itself is situated very close to shops and car parks. The bedroom was clean and felt fresh. It had everything you needed for an overnight’s stay. John was very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and provided great advice for hiking in Lakes!

My Perfect BnB
Where to start? The hosts, Meg and John, were excellent. Friendly, attentive, helpful, lovely people. Coming downstairs each morning to be greeted by the house pooch, Mia, was such a treat. She is beautifully behaved, and so sweet-natured. The room was gorgeous. The bed, so, so very comfy! I slept so well each night. As for the breakfast? Oh my lord. I wish I could have extended the trip just to try each option! But the full American, and eggy bread with cinnamon were just, nom. I genuinely don't want to stay anywhere else when I go to the Lakes now! Perfectly situated within easy distance of shops and restaurants, this place is a gem. Book now! I can't wait to come back. Thank you both for a lovely stay xxx

5 star luxury in the lakes.
We had an excellent stay at Compston House. The rooms and bathrooms are very modern and clean. The shower speaker was a nice touch And the rooms are made up every day if you wish. Table service breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent location. The parking permit for not only Ambleside but surrounding villages again was an amazing touch and overall we would recommend to everyone to stay here.

Absolutely lovely little Guest House in Ambleside
This is the second time we have stopped at Compton House and we just could not fault it. John and Meg are the most fantastic hosts with their lovely little baby Josh and their most beautiful German shepherd Mia. Such a lovely family. Brilliant location too and such good breakfasts! Would definitely recommend and look forward to returning.
