Welcome to the Heart of the English Lake District

Elder Grove is a family-run guest house offering you wonderful bed and breakfast in Ambleside. The accommodation is warm and welcoming, homely yet with the service of a small hotel, making this Bed and Breakfast a fantastic location for your holiday or weekend break in the Lake District.

Your hosts Paul and Vicky McDougall, who have lived in the Lake District all their lives and  have a wealth of catering experience, have taken

to a new level in offering  a little more than a traditional B & B.  The house itself is a distinct, detached Lakeland building, built in the late 1800's and still retaining many original features but with all the convenience of today's contemporary living

As you might expect your breakfast at Elder Grove is rather special, with guests often commenting "its the best breakfast we've ever had". Putting the 'Breakfast' into Bed and Breakfast, starts with your choice of cooked breakfast or lighter bites from our Breakfast buffet, locally sourced products and plenty of home made jams, marmalade & bread, all prepared by Paul giving you the perfect start to your day, this year we are proud to retain a breakfast award form Visit Britain and also be graded as a '5 star breakfast'.

January 2012 has seen a few changes happen at Elder Grove along with the normall winter decorating we have updated 6 of the bedrooms  with  oak furniture and now offer 2 rooms with King size double beds and 2 with zip and link beds offering a combination of twin or king size doubles. Pictures of these rooms will be on the site soon. 

Set in the heart of the , Elder Grove has easy access to the town of Ambleside, with the centre being only 5 minutes walk. Ambleside is ideal for access to other parts of the Lake District such as Keswick, Windermere and Coniston.
