  • “We had a good stay at Briardale cottage, it just wasn't up to the standard of previous cottages we have stayed at.”

    It was a little tired and in need of some refurbishment, and the dead mouse on the glass above the stairs was the first thing we saw everytime we passed it. Personally we like a tv in the bedroom and there wasn't one, we understand that's not for everyone but makes a difference to us. It was useful to have a parking space right outside our cottage and to be so close to the town is perfect. The usual information pack that we read as soon as we get to any of your cottages was pretty much empty, ...

    It was a little tired and in need of some refurbishment, and the dead mouse on the glass above the stairs was the first thing we saw everytime we passed it. Personally we like a tv in the bedroom and there wasn't one, we understand that's not for everyone but makes a difference to us. It was useful to have a parking space right outside our cottage and to be so close to the town is perfect. The usual information pack that we read as soon as we get to any of your cottages was pretty much empty, not the usual standard we've come to expect from staying in one of your cottages. These are helpful, everything in one place to refer to if you have a query but you'll see what I mean when you look at this cottage's pack-empty. It was a comfortable stay but I'm a little disappointed that we've booked the same cottage for next April.

The property

This charming stone-built cottage is one of six in a short, early 20thC terrace set in a little cul-de-sac close to the centre of Ambleside and handy for all the village amenities. Briardale Cottage has been designed to accommodate two in comfort. There is no need to use the car on a daily basis - plenty of walks, for all abilities, start from the door, including the famous Fairfield Horseshoe, which rises to almost three thousand feet just beyond the village. Other walks include Loughrigg Fell, Wansfell and Todd Crag, whilst there are easy valley rambles to Grasmere, The Rydal Round and beyond or to the lake for cruises in any season. Ambleside offers a fine choice of places to eat, pubs, cinema and daytime facilities including tennis, bowls and mini-golf making this a year-round destination. Accommodation: Enclosed entrance porch with room to store your outdoor gear. Sitting room (TV, log burner, CD/radio and free wi-fi). A door leads through to the fitted shaker style kitchen with dining table. Small rear hallway with downstairs wc, back door out to the shared rear garden area.Upstairs there is one good sized bedroom with king-sized double bed and ample fitted wardrobes.

Outside: Shared use of the large and very pleasant rear garden (belonging to Briardale along with the other cottages in the terrace), with lawns, shrubs, garden table and chairs and a pretty view. Private parking for one small car (Fiesta/Polo) at the front of the cottage. There is no passing traffic. Few hundred yards to shops and village facilities.

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.
