Hillsdale B&B was an incredible stay. The location, the home itself, the rooms, and the breakfast were all amazing and exceeded all of our expectations. Steve and Caz were so welcoming, personally showing us into their property, guiding us to the parking, offering excellent recommendations, and preparing the perfect English breakfast in their beautiful breakfast room. As soon as the five of us settled into our rooms, we all said we wished we were staying longer! Steve and Caz thought of everything - all the amenities and necessities required and more! I couldn't give a more glowing recommendation to this bed and breakfast. If you are considering a visit to the Lake District and Ambleside - DO NOT miss this amazing stay!

The location is very good: it's not by the lake, BUT it is close to the starting point of many hiking trails and very close to the bus stop. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, my train was delayed twice by more than 3 hours in total and I had to use the late check-in option, and that happened without any trouble. The building is very old (in a good sense, try asking the hosts about its history) and very well maintained. The breakfast was nice, wish they had scrambled eggs though. They mention it here, but once again - this building does not have a lift.

We stayed for 12 nights and it was a home away from home. The beautiful old part of the hotel was wonderful to sit with family and have a drink. Very understanding and friendly staff really polished it off.
