The room was spotless, warm, and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast menu was excellent and the food very good. Tracey and Kevin are great hosts. All in all a very good stay.
We had a brilliant stay at Melrose B&B. Our room was immaculate and had everything we needed. Staff were very helpful and parking was provided. There was plenty of choice for breakfast and the food was excellent. We would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning
Beautiful room exceptionally clean , Tracy very welcoming and given good information as too breakfast which again was beautifully cooked very attentive , checking in and checkout was a breeze plus having lock up parking off the street was a bonus , great location only think when busy yiu need to book restaurants in advance definitely recommend this guesthouse
Great b&b in a very central location within Ambleside. The room was immaculate with a modern En-suite. My wife and I had a great time and Kevin and Tracey were the perfect hosts. Will be coming again.

This is a beautiful B&B. Kevin and Tracey are wonderful hosts. Our room was very modern with an exceptional ensuite. Many great choices for breakfast
Whereas I have had serious issues with my previous lodging during this trip (Kendal, Windermere), this place is hands down the most wonderful site. Clean. Comfortable. Great breakfast. Accommodating storage needs. Firm and hot shower with new fixtures. Quiet. Great bed and clean sheets. Clean carpet throughout the guest home. Hosts are knowledgable and friendly.
The Melrose was modern, very clean and the breakfast options were superb. Local for all restaurants / town amenities. We would recommend this guest house to anyone and will definately stay again next time in Ambleside

Absolutely perfect! Kevin and Tracey have created such a lovely B&B. The decor, the extra touches like plenty of coffee and tea choices in the room, lovely furnishings, breakfast so lovingly made and Kevin and Tracey are so lovely. They’ve gone the extra mile and have given us the perfect stay. Close to shops and restaurants, transport and lake ferries. We could not have asked for a nicer experience.
Definitely recommend this bed and breakfast 10 out of 10 , could not fault anything we had a lovely time kevin and tracey also let us leave our bags after checking out as we had later train . This is my second visit and will come back many thanks from Elaine and Jenny
The owners Tracey & Kevin were so lovely and welcoming to me and my partner! The bnb was clean, cosy and really nice to stay in. We loved our stay and will be back!
