Guest Bedroom 1 Location Smallwood House is very conveniently placed in the centre of the village with a wide variety of shops, cafes, restaurants etc all within a short walk.

2 Guest Bedroom 1 Location Smallwood House is very conveniently placed in the centre of the village with a wide variety of shops, cafes, restaurants etc all within a short walk. The property can be accessed either via Compston Road or Compston Street. On entering the one way system in Ambleside from the south (Windermere) the property can be found on the right handside next to Matthews Bistro. Alternatively, carry on a little further taking the first turn right into "The Slack" which is almost opposite Zeffirelli's Cinema. Take the first right again into Compston Street and the car parking for the property is found a short distance along on the right hand side. Description Although Smallwood House began life in the 1880's as a fine gentleman's residence, it is believed that it became a very busy hotel quite early on following the influx of tourists to the English Lake District in late Victorian Times. Interestingly, the property also served during the Second World War as a school for girls evacuated from the southern cities, but reverted to guest house use again shortly afterwards. The present owners acquired Smallwood House in 1989 and have lovingly maintained and updated the property on a regular basis to ensure that the guesthouse always provided very welcoming and comfortable accommodation, a fact reflected in a significant volume of repeat trade. Prominently located close to the very centre of this attractive Lakeland town, it is not difficult to fathom why Smallwood House is so popular. Ambleside itself is located at the very northern tip of Lake Windermere and is surrounded by beautiful Lakeland scenery and enjoys ready access to the fells which provide a dramatic backdrop to the town. Ambleside is well served by a wide variety of shops and cinemas as well as traditional Lakeland inns and cafes. With ease of maintenance in mind, the current business operates predominately on a bed and breakfast basis but has an extremely convenient and practical arrangement with the adjoining restaurant which allows meals to be offered within Smallwood House. With minimal fuss, this provides invaluable appeal particularly for those visiting in larger groups for example. The guest house is fully licensed and Ambleside enjoys an excellent allyear-round tourist trade and Smallwood House represents a splendid opportunity in a prime location in one of the Lake Districts prettiest and most popular settings. Trading figures for Smallwood House are available from our Ambleside office. Accommodation (with approximate dimensions)
