About Foxghyll Country House B&B
Breakfast at Foxghyll Country House B&B makes good use of locally sourced produce, with vegetarian options included, and there's a bar on site along with a snack bar for drinks and light bites throughout the day. It's a small, adults-only bed and breakfast with just three rooms, set under Loughrigg on the edge of Ambleside, Cumbria, and surrounded by garden and mountain views.
Rooms are en-suite and come with drinks provided, and the property is arranged over two floors. Outside there's a garden with seating and a picnic area, making the most of the setting, plus free on-site parking and an electric vehicle charge point. Free WiFi and 24 hour reception cover the practical side of a stay, and luggage storage is available for those heading out to explore.
The location suits walking and cycling, with paths leading out towards the surrounding hills and a short walk into Ambleside itself for further pubs, restaurants and shops. Golf and fishing can also be found nearby. It's a straightforward, well-run base for exploring the Lake District, with three rooms only, so it suits couples or those after a quieter stay rather than larger groups.
What guests say
Had a wonderful time staying at Foxyghyll while visiting the Lake District! Location is amazing, right next to a beautiful hiking trail which is very popular. Our host was wonderful, super friendly and personable and had good advice for us as we were obviously new to the area. Breakfast was also delicious and super nicely cooked - and had varied options, including a very inclusive vegetarian menu. Rooms were gorgeous, a little chilly as the weather was rough during our trip - but the room also came with a fitted fireplace that kept it nice and warm. Highly highly recommend, couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Highly recommended for a lovely b&b in a superb location with excellent rooms and a delicious breakfast! We booked Foxghyll as we knew the Ambleside area and wanted somewhere close enough to stroll into town or the excellent nearby Badger Bar (both are15-20 minutes in either direction) but somewhere also accessible to great walks from the doorstep and Foxghyll has it all. Later spring is a lovely time to visit the Lakes with so many bright coloured flowering plants and these are in abundance at Foxghyll, in spectacular large outdoor grounds. The property is family owned by Cumbria locals Paul and his wife, and we found them to be a great hosts, with comfortable, spotlessly clean rooms and we enjoyed a very peaceful nights sleep and delicious cooked breakfasts every morning (including vegetarian menu options) in a lovely dining room. We ticked every box staying here, being able to do short or long day walks walk from the door to Loughrigg Fell, Rydal Water, Grasmere (coffin route can be picked up at Rydal Mount), Skelwith Bridge, Elterwater, Wansfell, and Troutbeck and if you get tired there are frequent local buses to whisk you back to Ambleside or drop you at Rydal, to easily stroll back to the property.
