Delicious fresh chocolates. Milk truffles are so tasty.

Delightfully chocolaty, sure to find something you like. Or if not, there's another chocolate shop in town

Whenever we come to the Lakes on holiday we always head to Ambleside and the first shop is the Ild Bank House Chocolate shop. There is a huge range of differing types of chocolates from truffles to raspberry creams and coins to whole blocks.There is also a selection of fudges to choose from too.As some have said yes it is a bit pricey but the chocolate is very good quality and very tasty. My favourites are the large Alpini.Always a must visit for great chocolates!

The greatest peppermint crèmes! Turkish delight, giant Alpini, Viennese, milk chocolate marshmallows, nougat and cognac truffle - all absolutely amazing also. Cannot recommend this place enough; a real, authentic star of a chocolatier which I will be dreaming about until I next visit!

Gorgeous chocolate, great selection.We spent around £26 on 3 bags of chocolate, but it was worth it, and we saved money on buying deserts out, which are often disappointing anyway. So yummy.We will be back.

Great chocolate! Lovely chat with the owner about how their chocolates are made.

What a nice little shop! The lady was nice enough, wide selection of chocolates. Good for gifts, bit on the pricy side but they’re good quality so you get what you pay for. I did wince at £17 for 3 small packets of chocolate) My parents are both VERY happy with their gifts (chocolate sheep and jack daniels truffles.) I’ve been looking for the flavoured chocolate buttons for a while, as i’ve remembered having them since I was young and finally found them here! It’s like a taste of childhood.Was looked at a bit strangely for taking photos, which was fair enough just felt a bit watched. Slightly dated decor inside but it’s all personal taste.

Great little independent choclitier. Always call in when nearby. One of my favourites - chocolate covered marshmallows. You need to call in if you're in Ambleside.

I started visiting this shop with my parents on family holidays over 25 years ago! Now visit with my husband about four times a year. Staff always pleasant and chocolates remain the same outstanding value and choice, keep up the good work and see you soon ?
A very attractive looking shop, however unfortunately, for me the standard of chocolate was a disappointment. Won't use again I'm afraid.

The smell of chocolate as you go in is enticing.they have a great selection and ideas for Christmas gifts and not too expensive worth a visit

We visit every year on pur holidays and always have to pop in. The chocolate is absolutely beautiful. Slightly pricey but as we're on holiday, we don't mind paying it nor does it stop us coming back. The staff are always welcoming and friendly

Disappointing. No greeting when we entered the store, no-one to discuss the products with and no welcome from the cashier.The store presented well however the chocolate was average.

The chocolates are amazing and the customer service is second to none! I visited with my partner back in April and we thoroughly enjoyed the selections of truffles. So much so, when deciding what to get him as a treat for his birthday, I was thrilled to find they also delivered! I got a little too excited by this finding, and ordered the chocolates far too early for his birthday. I emailed them to explain my situation and they very kindly said they would delay my postage. Not only that, they also emailed me to let me know the status of the postage the whole time, and let me know of upcoming mail strikes that might affect the delivery. Thank you Old Bankhouse, the chocolates arrived perfectly and they were very much enjoyed! I could not recommend them more, worth every penny.
