“10 out of 10!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

After our recent stay at Brantfell House we feel we have been to stay with old friends (and I don't mean the "old" literally!!) rather than staying at a B&B for the first time. Chris and Jane have gone out of their way to make us feel so welcome and spoilt and they really take time out of their busy schedules to chat and ensure you have everything you need to make your stay a pleasant one.
The rooms are very contempary with no chintz or pine in sight, spotlessly clean, fantastic en suite with double shower and an AMAZINGLY comfortable super king size bed that just moulded around you!! We didn't want to get out of it in the morning and Jane very kindly let us have a late breakfast so we could lay in.
At risk of repeating other guests comments the breakfast was superb with an excellent choice all cooked fresh to order. The portions are HUGE and really set you up for the day.
We have no hesitation in recommending Brantfell House to anyone wanting a bit of luxury at an affordable price whilst being looked after by amazing hosts.
Keep up the good work Jane and Chris!
P.S-big hugs and licks to Sid and Doris! Cousin Hoody sends his love!!!!

“lovely weekend break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

Stayed for three nights over a weekend period. B&B full but owners very relaxed and friendly. Room spacious and clean, Chris and Jane couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. Breakfast great, best we've had at a b&b, well worth going for this! Even our dog got a sausage cooked for his breakfast! Ambleside lovely and plenty of walks for our dog with lot's of dog friendly pubs. Would definately return and will highly recommend to all our friends.

“The breakfast was out of this world!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

A really homely B&B, the owners were really friendly and welcoming. Recently refumished the whole B&B was modern and comfortable. The room was spacious and clean with a really comfortable bed. The breakfast was fantastic and we would recommend the Brantfell just for this alone. All freshly cooked to order your options are endless and you can have as much or a little as you want. If you lazy like me you can ask for a late breakfast which is great or opt for a breakfast butty to take out when you do surface. Really well located in the town, with really lovely views from rooms at the front of the B&B. An honesty box is left down stairs and you can have beers or wine. We had our honeymoon here and hope to have a return visit soon. A lovely stay.

Room Tip: Rooms at the front are slightly noisy due to the road but were really clean, modern and comfortable...

“A very welcoming B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011

The owner's Jane and Chris are a very nice couple, the room was very comfortable and clean with a nice modern en-suite. As everyone mentions the breakfast is wonderful and all cooked to order, it certainly does keep you going all day. This is a lovely place to stay and although we usually try to go to a different place when we revisit an area we will definitely return to Brantfell House in the near future.
