Lovely stay. Warm welcome from Steve on arrival. Explained parking, limited at property but free at pay and display when displaying parking card that Steve gave us.
Fantastic room, very spacious. Tea, coffee, glasses, cork screw, iron and ironing board.
Great breakfast, order evening before. Cereal, juice available also. Steve and Tina were excellent hosts...not forgetting Charlie. Definitely recommended.
Great location. Traditional and attractive well maintained building.
Hosts very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast very nice. Room very comfortable. The only issue you could have is with the limited parking. Permits for the nearby parking lot was available also.
Stayed at Wanslea and overall an excellent stay and will 100% stay again in the future.
Owner does everything to help and very friendly.
Just out the centre but that’s no issue.
Perfect for nearby hikes.
We had an excellent stay at Wanslea and we had a lovely experience for comfort, food and its connectedness to the Lake District. We highly commend this guest house.
Wanslea Guest house was just what I needed, an oasis in England's beautiful Lake District. The owners spoil you with a wonderful breakfast (many food options), incredibly clean rooms, a well stocked tea cart, comfortable furniture. I would return here in a heartbeat!
Wanslea Guest House is a comfortable and welcoming place. It is close to shopping and food as well as a short walk to the Windermere cruises. The hosts are so helpful, without being intrusive. Steve’s recommendations for walks and excursions are invaluable. The breakfasts are delicious! I cannot recommend Wanslea highly enough and would definitely visit again.
The Arabian Nights room was the best room in a guesthouse we've ever stayed in. It had everything we needed - comfy bed, warmth, bath, plenty of tea. Breakfast perfectly tailored each day.
We had a lovely stay at Wanslea,very nice hosts,lovely clean and spacious rooms,excellent location with free parking nearby,very good breakfast,first class all round, looking forward to returning one day
Lovely hosts. We were especially impressed with the finely chopped fruit salad!! Beautiful room and perfect location for exploring Ambleside and beyond.
