    delicious breakfast
    central location
    fridge room
    traffic noise

    The breakfast here features multiple choices using local produce, not just your standard fare. The central location makes it easy to wander into town or head out for walks. The fridge in the room is a nice touch, especially for a solo traveler needing some extra snack storage.

    Traffic noise from the busy road can be disruptive, making it tough to get quality sleep. The mattress felt worn out and could really use a replacement to improve comfort. My room was a bit cramped, lacking space for a comfy chair, which would have been appreciated during the stormy weather. Limited off-street parking requires a stroll to the nearest car park, which might not suit everyone’s preferences. Plus, not having control over the radiator made the room a bit chilly at times.

    road noise
    parking issues

    Table top sized fridge, powerful shower, clean rooms

    Noise from the main road prevented a peaceful night's sleep!!! Parking arrangements could be a real headache, especially when unloading luggage is involved.

    spacious family room
    great hiking maps

    definitely a must for my future trips

    The family room was spacious and cozy. It had a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and a fridge, which is handy for snacks. Breakfast was fantastic, with options like delicious porridge. Location's perfect for exploring Ambleside and the views of the surrounding area are just beautiful. The hosts share great hiking maps too!

    tasty breakfast
    parking issues

    We had an amazing time here with friends! The clean, cozy room had a fridge, and breakfast was a tasty highlight every morning. We explored the local trails and visited the picturesque waterfalls. Andrew and Carole were super helpful, giving great tips for nearby spots. I highly recommend staying here for a fun group getaway!

    The only downside was parking. it could have been a bit better. But they provided permits for local lots, which helped.

    wonderful breakfast

    Family with kids will love this place

    Had an amazing breakfast cooked to order every morning. Carole and Andrew really went above and beyond, making sure our family felt at home and drying our boots each night after our long walks.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but that was okay.

    charming place
    cozy decor
    easy walkability
    parking inconvenience
    limited parking

    Thorneyfield is a charming place with cozy decor that warms your heart. The easy walkability around Ambleside makes it perfect for seniors like me who enjoy a leisurely stroll without fussing over steep paths.

    Parking could be more convenient for seniors.

    We had an amazing stay with friends! The place was cozy and clean, and we loved how close it was to the trails that lead to beautiful spots like the waterfalls. The breakfast was a real highlight, and the hosts made sure we felt at home. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a friendly atmosphere and comfy accommodations.
