Foxghyll Country House

What a beautiful B&B! We have always stayed in cottages or hotels when staying in the Lakes so this was a first for us......Will not be the last for sure. We had a lovely 3 night break over Easter, Paul & Rachel made us feel completely at home in their home. We stayed in the Garden Room, which was super clean and very comfortable. The breakfast each morning was delicious, home cooked and plenty of choice to set you up for the day. The location was perfect, we didn't touch the car during our stay until we left, all the walks were accessible from the house, or walking into Ambleside to get public transport to other areas of the Lakes. One absolute bonus was Rachel's beauty room, I had a fantastic massage. Rachel is very professional and offers lots of beauty treatments, this Guest house just keeps giving. We will not hesitate to return for a home from home experience with lovely welcoming hosts. Thank you Paul & Rachel M & P

Just fantastic. An absolute hidden gem and a fantastic find. We have visited the Lakes for many years, and this is quite simply the best B&B in which we have stayed. The rooms are large and luxuriously laid out. Beautiful views. Beds are very comfortable. The views and the grounds in which the house are set are absolutely phenomenal. There is a beautiful 15 minute stroll along a lane to the main village of Ambleside where there are an abundance of restaurants, cafe's and shops. I could not recommend Foxghyll highly enough and will return soon.

This was our second visit to this incredibly welcoming hotel with a gap of several years between visits. It's still just as good, if not better. Love the location (lovely 15min walk into Ambleside with amazing views). We loved the room (Lots of little personal touches that made all the difference). Loved the fact that you could walk straight through the garden and up onto Loughrigg Fell. Loved the breakfasts. Loved that Rachel is now offering a full range of beauty and therapeutic massage treatments (I tried the massage which was good value, very professional and it worked wonders). Loved the family feel. Loved the chiwawas. Just a great place to relax.

We had a lovely stay at Foxghyll. We stayed in the 4-poster room which overlooked the garden and Wansfell. The room was spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was delicious too - everything from croissants to homemade fresh fruit salad and an excellent cooked breakfast, what a way to start the day! After a day on the fells there is the option of having a cool beer from the bar/lounge area in front of a roaring fire or there is even the option of a beauty room (which my wife took full advantage of) massages, facials and manicures were available. We've stayed in many B&B's and I have never seen this before. I can't recommend Foxghyll enough, I know we'll be back to stay next year. Just perfect guys, keep up the excellent work.

This house was so beautiful! You could tell the owners loved it and what they do! There was love and care put into their treatment of us during our stay! They even let us spoil their dogs. Paul and Rachel are wonderful hosts, who open their immaculately clean, beautifully appointed, very comfy home.

Foxghyll is just idyllic, set on a quiet and beautiful Lakeland road, just minutes walk out of Ambleside. You have all of the benefits of being in the countryside and the convenience of being able to walk in to town for dinner etc. Hosts were super friendly, very accommodating with nothing being too much trouble. They also offer electric car charging at a competitive rate, which is super convenient. Definitely will go back again.

Thank you to Rachel and Paul for an amazing experience staying in their lovely home. We thoroughly enjoyed Foxghyll experience and were very happy to be away from the centre of the busy but lovely town of ambleside. It is a lovely 15 minute walk to the centre of ambleside from the b and b which is just perfect after a meal. There is very quick access to the many walk and hike paths and beautiful lakes. The house itself is beautiful and they take care in the finest of details and the room was spacious, comfortable and elegantly decorated. The breakfasts were delicious and again they take care in making sure you have the best experience. The delicious food is sourced locally and is fresh and plentiful. They have a little common space you can also enjoy to read and their backyard is beautiful. We enjoyed walks, rest and visits around the area. Thank you for making our experience in Ambleside the best it could be and would highly recommend Foxghyll to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Wonderful country house in astonishing surroundings, in walking distance to Ambleside. The owners Paul and Rachel were vey welcoming and friendly, everything we asked for was addressed with a smile. The breakfast is excellent, the rooms nicely renovated and decorated with period features. We will be back!

This is an amazing B&B I would recommend to anyone visiting The Lakes. It’s the second time we’ve visited and we will definitely be back. Paul & Rachael are superb hosts and the breakfasts are the best. The place is lovely and clean and very spacious, comfy beds, bathroom facilities are excellent, beautiful grounds and just a 20 minute walk into Ambleside, what more could you ask for. Very reasonable rates too, we both thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights here, we will be back 😀
