I can only add to the general praise for Compston House. Just spent three nights with snow and sub zero temperatures outside but the house was very warm and cosy inside, matched by the warm reception you will recieve from Sue and Jerry. Very well positioned for restaurants, pubs and cinemas (three nearby) and although there is no parking on... More

I'll keep this short as this was our second visit to Compston House. it's just as good as the last time with a warm friendly welcome from the owners, spotlessly clean throughout, comfortable accommodation and a delicious and plentiful breakfast. More

I have just returned from a weekend here with my husband, we stayed in the New York room and it was perfect loved all those little touches. Sue and Jerry are wonderful hosts and do anything to make your stay warm and welcoming. The breakfasts are fab, they certainly don't want you to go hungry! We had lot's of snow... More

Having seen the reviews on TripAdvisor, I have to say I felt this B&B was ok, but a little over-rated. It is in a good location, but we had to park around the corner on the street, which is a little inconvenient when it rains. The B&B owners are friendly and helpful, giving advice on places to eat/walk, which is... More

Just spent 2 nights at Compston house and despite poor weather we have had a very relaxing stay. Sue and Gerry, originally from new York, run this B&B like clockwork and are a lovely sociable but discreet couple. The building itself is perfectly positioned within Ambleside for walking/ hiking and within easy walking distance of local restaurants and bars, cinemas... More

Lovely welcome from Sue and Jerry, loved the American theme running through the house. Very comfortable and clean bedrooms with excellent choice for breakfast. A lovely break. More

This B&B is fun with the american style breakfast. Rooms very nice with brilliant views of lake district fells. The hosts where very welcoming. We stayed one night and enjoyed the town of Ambleside and walking in the lakes. We had to park our car in the car park about 200 yards away from the B&B. No on street parking... More

On our return visit once again we felt the warmth of Sue & Jerry 's hospitality. Cannot fault anything. The room was nice and warm on arrival /being a cold wet day /was most welcoming. Breakfast as always as much as you can eat especially the pancakes!! The property is spotlessly clean and very quiet.Definitely a great place to stay... More

Sue and Jerry are the perfect hosts, they cannot do enough for you and are very attentive to your needs. They are not obtrusive and let you do your own thing but are there for any help and advice. The breakfasts are to die for...every choice that you can think of. Staying Sunday is a bonus with Sue's homemade warm... More
