$, Ambleside
Fodor's Review:
Ambleside has many inexpensive B&Bs, many clumped along Vicarage Road, but it's hard to find a more welcoming spot than this lofty Victorian house right in the center, with hosts who know a thing or two about local walks. Although space is at a premium, the rooms are pleasantly decorated with prints and wood furniture.
