Foxghyll Country House

Amazing property and hosts. Booked again for 2025!

Beautiful country house in a most picturesque setting. Large, well-kept gardens with plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the stunning scenery. Rooms are clean, well-appointed and spacious. Rachel and Paul are the most thoughtful of hosts and work very hard to ensure their guests have the best experience, including preparing rather fabulous breakfasts! With direct access onto Loughrigg Fell and an easy stroll into Ambleside, this is a real gem.

It was lovely to return to this property and it did not disappoint. As ever the staff are so welcoming and the breakfasts are superb. It feels like a luxurious home from home. Walks are all on the doorstep and once there you don't need the car. We will definitely be back and hoping to try the ice cream stall and beauty treatments now on offer!

If you want a quiet retreat with a comfortable bed and a nice traditional breakfast this is the place for you. Scenic walk to Ambleside which is probably roughly a mile away.Good walking shoes advisable. Paul and Rachael are very pleasant with just the right amount of attention. Car Park is easy and safe.

Foxghyll country house was a perfect getaway. We were delighted to arrive at such a fabulous b&b in beautiful gardens. The house is full of history and our room was tranquil and we slept so well. The breakfasts set us up for our days of adventure. Ideally located for the lakes and Ambleside. The proprietors were so friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to another visit.

Accommodating hosts, exceptional service and an impeccable environment (inside and out). My daughter absolutely loved the well behaved chihuahuas. My wife took full advantage of the health & beauty services. We will definitely be staying again.

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

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.
