Compston House is a traditional 1890's merchant house built of Lakeland stone. Throughout the years, it has been lovingly cared for and provided many guests with memorable visits of Ambleside. The property is ideally situated in the heart of Ambleside, close to all shops, bars and restaurants. Owners Megan and John (and their dog Mia) provide high quality hospitality, a comfortable stay and fantastic breakfasts making your stay all the more enjoyable! Compston House has undergone a major refurbishment and has now had seven of its nine rooms renovated to a very high standard, leaving only two to follow. All of our new rooms have been very well received and we look forward to completing the house in the coming years. Our amazing German Shepherd Mia has stolen the hearts of many! She loves meeting our valued guests, and they love meeting her! She is extremely well behaved and very friendly! She knows her place in the house and never enters the dining area and only stays at Reception. We look forward to welcoming you to this amazing part of the country and providing you with the great service, excellent hospitality and fantastic breakfast you deserve!

Ambleside is a wonderful place for a break. There are lots of restaurants, bistros, pubs, shops and cinemas here, so you don't have to drive anywhere for an evening meal. Everything is just up the road. For walkers, there are many local walks that start at our doorstep, such as Lougnrigg fell and Wansfell. Lake Windermere is just a short stroll away too. White Platts recreation ground is directly facing our building, and offers activities such as mini golf, crown green bowls, tennis and more.
