A little Gem
A wonderful B&B. Though parking was minimal at Lacet, Ambleside has ample parking without charges. This did not spoil our stay. Lacet excelled from room to breakfast, hosts were both accommodating & more than helpful. Ambleside is an ideal base for visiting the Lakes, the Lacet was the 'icing on the cake'. Look forward to our next visit, many thanks Lacet for an enjoyable stay.

Excellent !! Do not hesitate to book this lovely bed and breakfast. Lovely greeting from the owners. Location is fantastic with free parking. Rooms are very clean and modern with comfortable beds. We found the accommodation quiet with great views. We had a room at the top (American double). Breakfast was also cooked perfection. Little extras in room - tea coffee, water and biscuits. We usually stay in Bowness when visiting family but decided to give Ambleside a go instead. Very pleased we did, Many nice places to eat and locations to walk nearby. As for covid - the owners are doing well to ensure your safety. We will definitely return. Kind Regards J&R
