In over 30 years of visiting the Lakes we have walked past this property many times but never stayed! Wish we had earlier. It is exceptionally well run. The hosts are most friendly, welcoming, accommodating. They were kind enough to give us an early breakfast so we could outrun Storm Babet on our way home! The breakfasts were probably the best we have had at B and B's. Great choice, beautifully sourced, cooked and presented. The house is kept immaculately clean. A real pleasure to stay.

All very good.

my room had a gorgeous view of the garden, the bed was super comfy, room temperature was perfect, really good size room. extra special mention of the window seat! Breakfast was well cooked, a lot of choice, and I just love having someone else cut up fruit for my breakfast 😚. the location was perfect. 15 minute walk into Ambleside or 10min to Rydal, meant we were far enough away to feel isolated and in the country, without actually being isolated at all. bonus ice cream shop at the bottom of the garden on a sunny day 😎 the hosts were the cherry on top

Gorgeous B&B, lovely hosts, stunning grounds, walkable from Ambleside, big comfortable rooms, shutters for a good night’s sleep. Also loved that we could walk straight out of the place when we arrived, buy ice cream from the host and immediately climb up the beautiful Loughrigg fell. Thoroughly deserves its high rating.

The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the water pressure in the morning, which fell to pretty much zero presumably because too many other guests were showering. For some, the one mile walk to Ambleside might be more than they’d like but we enjoyed it - it was a nice, scenic walk, and flat & paved so we could wear our evening shoes. The hosts even provided pocket torches for coming back after dark.

Beautiful house, tastefully decorated and beautifully kept garden.. The Log Burner in the hallway immediately enticed us in to the warm and friendly environment provided by the Hosts.

Our room was well decorated and pristine. Only one minor point as far as we were concerned was the small bathroom, which didn’t affect us personally. There are most likely to be rooms with larger bathrooms.

Breakfast had a great choice of fresh fruit, cereal, freshly made porridge and a delicious freshly made cooked breakfast with plenty on the plate. This give us a good start to the day to explore and walk to nearby Grasmere and Ambleside.

There was nothing to dislike. Couldn’t fault anything. The place is so well kept. Rooms are so so clean and comfortable.

Foxghyll Country House is perfectly located between Ambleside and Rydal, in an idyllic and peaceful setting, making it ideal for walkers or those seeking a retreat. In addition to the warm welcome and attention to detail provided by Paul and Rachel, who served up a very hearty and delicious breakfast, there are also beauty treatments on offer including massages - the perfect tonic at the end of a long but beautiful circle walk over Loughrigg fell to Grasmere.

Foxghyll is beautiful and full of character. It is perfectly located about a 12 minute stroll from Ambleside, and you can walk straight from the house (via the garden path) up onto Loughrigg Fell. Paul and Rachel are the most wonderful hosts and super helpful. Breakfast is delicious too.

Nothing to dislike.

Foxghyll is in a beautiful and peaceful location. Paul and Rachel made sure we had a wonderful stay, even lighting the fire for watching the EURO football final! Breakfast was amazing.

Bathroom was a little small.

The fantastic 4, location, hosts, breakfast and rooms. A special place to stay, it was our first stay at Foxghyll and is now the only place we will stay when we visit Ambleside.

Warm hospitality by the owners, Paul and Rachel. Thoughtful sumptuous breakfast. Spacious room with a great river and pasture view. Comfortable bed. Lots of trees and flowering plants in its 5-acre property. Our 3-night stay was very heavenly and relaxing. Pleasureable walking experience from village to village. Highly recommended for a 3~ 5 day Lake District experience.
