We stayed at the Ambleside for 3 nights while doing a theatre marathon. The welcome was friendly; they seemed genuinely pleased to see us. Our ground floor room was spotlessly clean, with an seemingly brand new ensuite shower. I wouldn't call the room spacious, but it was big enough. Breakfast was perhaps a little basic - the sausages and egg... more

I may well be Ambleside's biggest fan - I've been visiting Stratford regularly for the past ten years and always stay there. I stopped counting after my 25th visit! The house itself is pleasantly situated opposite a little park, nicely decorated, immaculately clean and within a few minutes walk of the town centre, theatres and railway station. A pleasant walk... more

I called Ambleside having been told by a travel agent this was a great place to stay. Sure enough I was not disappointed. Having arrived after a long and stressful journey it was great to be welcomed by someone friendly and helpful. The rooms were far better than the hotel chains I use on a regular basis, and non comparable... more

What a wonderful and charming guest house! My wife and I enjoyed a thoroughly fantastic time at Ambleside and couldn't have asked for a more welcoming place to stay. The breakfasts were first class and Ruth and Pete know Stratford like the back of their hands and recommended the most amazing places to visit, Well worth a return visit. more

Armida and I didn't know what to expect on our first trip to the UK, as well as our first bed and breakfast. The Ambleside was a great initiation into the country and the B&B lodging experience. Peter and Ruth took very good care of us, and we really needed it when the airlines lost or luggage! Peter calmed us... more

Just arrived back from a two night stay in this lovely guest house -what a find! The room was great and the breakfast well what can I say, we didn't need to eat again until early evening (7.00pm) We haven't stayed in a guest house for years and usually stay in hotels 4 and 5 star but I don't think... more

Immaculately kept, good value, ideal location and run by a friendly helpful couple. Thoroughly recommended! more

If you feel like a few days to relax and chill, I would highly recommend the Ambleside Guest House at Stratford. Ruth and Peter always look after you making sure you get the most out of your visit. The Guest House is comfortable and quiet even though it is located in the middle of Stratford, which is perfect for shopping,... more

I just want to say a massive thank you to Ruth and Peter for being so accommodating, especially after being caught in the floods. This is one of the best B&B's I've ever stayed in - warm,friendly helpful owners, clean room, a great breakfast and all at an extremely reasonable price. Thanks again, Rhianne more
