“The cottage was in an ideal location in terms of being close to the pier and a short walk into Ambleside but the road at the front of the property was very noisy and busy and so we did not use the front entrance as we have two children.”

- Mrs Gillies, September 2021

Thank you for choosing 8 Waterhead for your late summer holiday . Much appreciated Owner relations
Mr Black September 2021

“Clearly recently refurbished, spotlessly clean and everything you need in the accommodation.”

Amazing location with literally everything you need on your doorstep. On a busy road, but this is clearly indicated on the website, so no surprises; avoid if this might bother you though as it can be noisy. Too many positives to mention, but being a stones throw from the lake is right up there! Overall, highly recommended.

- Mr Black, September 2021

Many thanks for your kind and thoughtful review! Owner relations
Mrs Munnelly August 2021

“Fabulous cottage, all brand new and clean, very spacious and comfortable.”

Fully equipped, space for car, couldn’t ask for more!

- Mrs Munnelly, August 2021

Thank you for your lovely review. I’m thrilled the house met all your needs. Regards 8 Waterhead. Owner relations
Miss Wilkinson August 2021

“The house is in a good location.”

Have stayed in better places for the same price, but suspect this is just covid related and everyone having holidays in the uk.

- Miss Wilkinson, August 2021

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
