“Lovely stay.”

Place was lovely! The padlock on the car parking does not work, idea to get it fixed , we got round it in the end but wasn't ideal trying to get in with 2 babies. Other than that, was great.

“The property was lovely and well equipped, the only thing I would say the sofa was fine for the two of us but if there had been 4 adults staying in the property we would have been struggling could do with 2 comfy chairs as well as a sofa rather than a bean bag after hard days walking .”

- Rosemary, March 2022

Thanks for staying , your custom is very much appreciated. Regards 8 Waterhead. Property Owner
Jane March 2022

“Had a lovely week at 8 Waterhead Terrace Cottage is very well equipped, warm , good location , We found the parking space brilliant , right at back door of cottage ,lots of space on entering for boots coats all extra luggage bags , we have an Audi A4 managed parking no problem , it is a tight lane though A bedside table at other side of double bed is required, also a table lamp in lounge area , minor points but would make a difference, Definitely would return .”

- Jane, March 2022

“Stayed for three nights.”

Lovely, well-specced property - everything you need for a break from life. Just a (short) 15 minute walk into Ambleside. Two issues stop me from giving a maximum score… 1. The mattress on the main bed is too hard. 2. The main (double) bedroom is at the front of the house, and the house is on the main road into Ambleside so quite a bit of road noise is present. These two issues meant that we didn’t get a decent night’s sleep.

- Richard, November 2021

Thanks for the positive feedback and choosing 8 Waterhead . Sorry you found the mattress too firm. Property Owner

“Lovely house which was well very well equipped - it was great having the downstairs room and drying rack after walking all day in the rain.”

- Hannah, October 2021

Thanks for your wonderful review . Glad you could dry off in comfort after exploring in the rain Property Owner
Ben October 2021

“House is immaculate and everything - literally - is brand new!”

My one minor issue is that it would be helpful to have a bedside table on both sides of the double bed with sockets! Also, as someone else mentioned, the parking space is small but we had a mini which fitted perfectly. Thanks again. Lovey property and holiday!

“25 September 2021.”

The terraced house was recently renovated we guessed. Most of the equipement was brand new to the extent of some being in the box or wrapper. We had a few minor issues but nothing to worry about. The house is on three levels and we found we did not use the bottom level other than for entry and exit. The shower and bathroom on this level is useful but not convenient as the bedrooms are on the top floor. We did not use the front door at all as it goes out onto a busy road and the back is more attractive and has the parking space. Parking space is tight but OK for most cars. Need to have a tea pot installed. Add one bedside cabinet and light to the main bedroom and other bedroom if it will fit. (Chest of drawers in second room has small drawers and not useful). Need one table tamp in lounge. TV is excellent and has all streaming services installed. WIFI is excellent. Overall would recommend this place for 4 people. I would say that the photos on the website do not reflect the (better) reality - think it is because the decor is all white and refelcts the light.

- Alex, September 2021

Many thanks for your comprehensive and positive review .The constructive feedback is much appreciated. Property Owner
Dean September 2021

“Great location, really clean and bigger cottage than expected.”

The cottage has everything you can think of. Some road noise but that is well communicated upfront. Will stay again!

Thank you for your complimentary review and considering returning to 8 Waterhead in the future Property Owner
Katy September 2021

“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.”

- Katy, September 2021

Thank you for choosing 8 Waterhead for your late summer holiday . Much appreciated Property Owner
J 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.

- J, September 2021

Many thanks for your kind and thoughtful review! Property Owner
Joanne August 2021

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

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

- Joanne, August 2021

Thank you for your lovely review. I’m thrilled the house met all your needs. Regards 8 Waterhead. Property Owner
Beverley 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.

- Beverley, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback. I’m happy you found the house well placed for your trip . Regards 8 Waterhead Property Owner

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.
