Everything was just spot on; room clean & of good size, Alison the perfect host, breakfast excellent particularly the bacon, and a great location in Ambleside with free parking. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.
I do not have enough superlatives for this place. Fantastic location (10 mins walk to the lake and 10 mins walk into the centre of Ambleside), unbelievable value (free parking and at other car parks in nearby towns). Alison was so welcoming and the room was gorgeous. A really lovely stay with our two dogs who were made most welcome too! Fantastic breakfast included with plenty choice, we won’t be staying anywhere else in the Lakes now!

All aspects of the guest house stay were excellent.
Will definitely be staying there again.
We had a few days at Lyndale and couldnt have been better. Host was friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable and location was ideal for exploring the Lakes
We had an excellent 3 nights at Lyndale’s guest house. The host Allison answered all our questions about the village of Ambleside. Breakfast was generous. She gave us a parking pass free of charge to a lot that’s about 2 minutes away by walking. 10 minutes away (walking) from the center. Would definitely recommend !
Lovely guest house, close to all amenities, lovely breakfast. Super !

It was so clean and comfortable and in a safe area. The breakfast was excellent. And the host was so friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again if I had the opportunity
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Alison’s B&B. The location was perfect, the parking permit an unexpected bonus and my room was spacious and immaculately clean. The breakfast was lovely and freshly cooked to order and Alison was warm and welcoming. I would definitely stay again when in Ambleside.
We had a lovely 3 night stay at Lyndale Guest House, Ambleside. Alison was so welcoming. Room with en suite beautiful. Huge bed with crisp white bedding and tea etc facilities. Breakfast superb. We wanted for nothing. Would certainly recommend and make a return visit. Car park token was great. Ideally located. Thank you so much Alison. Tom & Jean Pierce xx
Great two. Ight stay with family including our dog , lovely b and b , great host , and so clean tidy modern rooms , great breakfast and location ,just short few min walk in to Ambleside
Would highly recommend
And looking forward to booking out next trip here again
Fantastic, the location, the welcome were first class. Breakfast was out of this world the attentive service really could not be faulted, a little gem, were planning our next stay already.
Stayed here to do the Fred Whitton, booked on location and taking our dog and it was great. Alison was a great host, very accommodating (particularly regarding bikes and dogs) and very helpful. The free parking in the car park just along the road is really useful. I would definitely stay here again.
A clean and newly furbished property managed by a capable and hospitable lady, serving good English breakfast. Our guest room with ensuite is facing the opposite side of the main road, so is quiet. The host also provides each guest a Business Parking Permit for free marking in a nearby council car park, which can also be used in other council car parks of the same council including one in Grasmere.
Really friendly greeting, all spotlessly clean and fresh. Room and private bathroom likewise. Breakfast was spot on,great choice and quality. Definately recommend. Free parking pass included in the price for the nearby public carpark. Thank you.
The host is helpful in reception of guest. She explained the entrance security and parking inormation in detail.
The full English breakfast was delicious and hot enough.

Alison was a great host. The guest house is perfectly located as you can easily walk into the centre of Ambleside or walk to the pier to go on a Windermere Lake Cruise. I had a very comfortable stay and the cooked breakfast was delicious.

Lovely b&b, very welcoming host.
Great b&b perfect for a two night stay in Ambleside. It's on the main road so there's quite a lot of traffic noise but this didn't interfere with our stay. Close to the center of town and the edge of Windermere lake. You can access a beautiful walk to Troutbeck village with stunning views across the lake from the backroad of the building. There's a huge garden center across the road from the building, I was surprised by the size of it, you can access the ferry to Bowness 10 minutes walk away.
Lovely Victorian guesthouse midway between Ambleside Pier and town centre. Parking permit provided for nearest car park 100m plus can be used in other car parks in the Lakes. Excellent cooked breakfast and other selections available. Very friendly host, nothing was too much trouble. Lots of tourist leaflets available on each floor of 3 storey house. Bed very comfy. Would definitely recommend.
