The Haven Cottage guest book
Welcoming & Wonderful - GO STAY We finally returned at Haven Cottage and have to say we received a warm, honest, friendly welcome from Amanda and Mark (ceo!). Easy to find, onsite parking and only a few minutes' walk into the centre of Ambleside.
Tried a different room which was lovely (No 4) very comfortable and spotless with all the amenities of any small hotel. You are made at home from the minute of arrival and Amanda can bake, lovely touch each day! (thank you)
Breakfast is outstanding and there is a great selection, cooked fresh, with nothing too much trouble and a great start to any day in the Lakes. Chief Egg Officer gets them right every time!
Would we recommend, absolutely, and are we returning yes!
Thank you both a solid 5 out of 5

Perfect location & host. Lovely place to stay for our trip to The Lakes. Location is perfect for walking, shopping and eating out. The hosts went out of their way for me and my dietary requirements, I couldn't thank them enough.
The view from our room was amazing and we are already planning our next visit.
Thank you Haven Cottage for a perfect weekend.

Great little find, far better than the major hotels. Late booking and after researching hotel prices during half term came across this little Gem. As per previous reviews the breakfast is exceptional, great choice of food using local, high quality produce.
We stayed in room 8 with a balcony view of the fells which was lovely after a walk - enjoying the late afternoon sun with a bottle of wine and cheese board.
Great to stay someone clean, cosy without dogs.
Would definitely recommend and return if in the area.
Great hosts that were friendly and knowledgable of the area. Recommend Dodds for an evening meal, 5 minute walk away.
Thanks for a super 2 night break

Jonathan Bryson2023-07-09We had a lovely 3-night stay at Haven B&B in June. Amanda and Mark are brilliant hosts and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. We stayed in the Master Suite which was amazing, and the breakfasts were brilliant too. We used the B&B for our wedding accommodation, and stupidly left some confetti in the dining room on the morning of the wedding. Mark very kindly went out of his way to bring this up to the wedding venue on his own accord. We will definitely be back in the future. Thank you!Chris Proudfoot2023-06-01Perfect 4 night stay with marvellous hosts Amanda & Mark, who couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfasts & afternoon cake all very tasty. Guest House is in a perfect position for Centre of Ambleside, own car park & bus stop right outside. Room 8 with roll top bath & balcony perfect for us.Theresa Durrant2023-04-16We stayed at The Haven for one night in March 2023. The name describes it beautifully. Room eight, which is a delightful suite, cosy, comfortable and bright. With freestanding bath, a lovely balcony looking across to Loughrigg and just a stones throw from the centre of Ambleside, this is a perfect place to unwind. Amanda and Mark are incredible hosts who are warm and welcoming. Their breakfast is amazing too. As a vegan and vegetarian its wonderful to see such attention to detail. Thank you both, for a most enjoyable stay!Matt Punter2023-02-20Excellent B&B. Room was beautifully presented. Hosts very friendly and welcoming.Lee Anderson2023-01-28We stayed mid-week for a few days in January, a great time to go to the Lake District as it's very quiet. Parking is available with EV charging and the property offers a great location almost in the centre of Ambleside. Breakfast was provided each morning and was always fantastic quality and delicious, the hosts were very attentive, providing advice on hiking in the local area and showing us their great collection of maps and books in the lounge area (which had a well stocked honesty bar). The room was well appointed with daily fresh milk, coffee, hot chocolate etc. The room and whole accommodation was very clean and tidy.Sophie Armfield2023-01-11What an absolute treasure of a place! Just on the edge of the town, Haven Cottage is a stylish, elegant and comfortable retreat. Decorated in a Scandi-chic style with an amazing attention to detail from the cosy candle-lit lounge with a roaring fire to our very smart room with its roll-top bath and huge walk-in shower, complete with lovely fluffy bathrobes. Our very charming hosts, Amanda and Mark, were super friendly and welcoming and made a fabulous breakfast too! Amanda is a nutritionist and all her ingredients were organic and local, including her delicious home-made bread and the local butter which we indulged in! This place is more like a very chic boutique hotel and I can highly recommend. We will definitely be back!Lee Johnson2022-11-043 night stay in a excellent B&BKathryn Deakin2022-08-11Just returned from a 3 night stay which was our second visit this year. Haven Cottage is perfectly situated in Ambleside just a short walk into the village where there are lots of restaurants, pubs and shops and also easy access to Grasmere and lots of fabulous walks and hikes. It has on site parking for each room which is a bonus in Ambleside. The rooms are very tastefully decorated and comfortable and have everything you need including tea and coffee with fresh milk every day and beautiful quality toiletries, bathrobes and luxury towels. We stayed in room 8 which has a spacious balcony with a great view of Loughrigg. After last staying in February we loved being able to sit out on the balcony with a bottle of wine in the evening this time due to the fantastic weather. Also sat there with a cup of tea early morning before breakfast. Breakfast is fantastic. You get to choose from a wide selection of high quality food and everything we had was delicious. Home made cake is on offer daily in the afternoon and again is delicious. The hosts, Amanda and Mark, are very friendly and attentive and very helpful suggesting hiking routes. It really is a special place and we will definitely be returning.harry comerford2022-05-27From start to finish we had an amazing experience. Amanda was the perfect host, a genuinely friendly and welcoming person. You can tell she takes pride in what she does as the whole b&b was kept immaculate and is beautifully decorated. Don't get me started on the breakfast, a huge selection a quality food to chose from, all cooked to perfection. We will definitely be coming back here
