Nanny Brow

We had a fantastic stay in Nanny Brow. We stayed in the Whitwell suite which was very comfortable and beautifully furnished, and had great views of the Brathay Valley. The house itself is lovely and set in beautiful gardens. The breakfast was delicious and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Nanny Brow is well situated for walkers and there is a nice walk into Ambleside from the house. There are also plenty of great restaurants nearby and Sue, when we booked, very helpfully provided a list of recommended places to eat. This definitely was a luxurious experience.

5 minutes drive to Ambleside Town Centre. Friendly and helpful staff. Starting point for a walk to the surrounding mountains with stunning views of tarns and fells which you should not miss. They provide clear direction and instruction for the walks so just ask. Nice mountain and river view from the hotel room. Lovely daily cakes from the hotel. Breakfast is excellent. Convenient location as a base to explore the lake district. Would definitely recommend!

Stayed in the Skelwith room. Lovely view and beautiful walking trails, complete with a babbling brook. Choice of made-to-order breakfast. All of the staff were also incredibly friendly.

Can't recommend this beautiful Arts and Crafts guesthouse highly enough. We were made very welcome and enjoyed our chats with Sue during our stay. Room was lovely, comfortable, beautifully decorated with lots of thoughtful touches that we appreciated. Breakfast was delicious and all the team working at Nanny Brow were delightful. Thankyou - we really enjoyed our stay with you.

Beautiful views to lake Windermere. Nice base to drive and discover surrounding beautiful towns with cozy cafes and restaurants. Scenic hiking trails starting right behind the hotel.

Beautiful location, wonderful room with absolutely stunning views (Brathay Junior Suite), spotlessly clean with fresh cakes daily and selection of specialty teas. Large, wonderfully presented en-suite shower room with wonderfully powerful shower. Friendly animals and even friendlier staff, with nothing too much trouble. Breakfasts were simply wonderful — amazing cooked breakfasts, or scotch pancakes/porridge/scrambled egg with smoked salmon etc, selection of cereals, a huge bowl of the tastiest fruit salad. We would both love to return here.

Extremely helpful staff. Excellent, easy to follow suggestions for beautiful walks. Best fruit salad we have ever had! Outstanding views from the bedroom window. A fantastic place to stay!

Amazing B&B with very nice suites and just at the right distance from the nearby cities. In short it is the perfect place to have some rest.

We had such a lovely stay here, wish we'd booked for longer. We found ourselves not wanting to go out sightseeing because it was so comfortable and peaceful.

Absolutely lovely stay, loads of character and charm with nice touches that made the stay special. The view and breakfast were absolutely amazing
