Melrose Guesthouse

The Melrose Guesthouse (Bed & Breakfast), in Ambleside is personally run by owners Lynn and Alan Salter. Since 2006, when they bought the property they have been dedicated to renovating and modernising the traditional lakeland slate property, built circa 1880. There is now a sense of old meets new, which provides a relaxing and calming feel. The house boasts many features such as the stunning 'Red room' Victorian fireplace, which takes centre-stage and is marvelled by all.

In September 2007, Melrose was announced as the winners of the Chairman's Trophy for the 2007 Cumbria in Bloom competition- 'Best Guesthouse'. Come in the Summer and you will see the house looking its best, bedecked with beautiful hanging baskets and overflowing window tubs. In Oct 2009and again this year, 2014 we were awarded first place for our window containers and also a discretionary award from the chairman of the Lakes Parish Council, again for the beauty of the baskets and containers.
