“Damp smell.”

Mould in places.

Mould in places. Disgusted by crumbs etc between settee cushions. Better to collect keys from key safe at premises.

- Mr Green, August 2021
Mrs Foley July 2021

“Having to collect the keys and drop them off from the HOF office was a bit of a pain due to the excess traffic and one way system in Ambleside.”

We noticed there was a key safe at the property (although obviously not in use) which would have been much easier!

“If one of your requirements is guaranteed parking I would not book this cottage.”

Although the cottage has a parking space it is also an access for the adjoining property and therefore is not big enough for a medium sized car and access. In addition as the space is in-between two cottages it is impossible to pull out of the space if there are any cars parked close by as the road is narrow and therefore no room to swing round the parked vehicles. While the description on the listing appears factually correct it is misleading regarding the usability of the space and any available parking on the road outside which is on a first come first served basis. I would suggest the owners provide clearer information on the listing in the first instance and perhaps apply to the council to have a white line across the access to prevent vehicles parking too close. Alternatively they could invest in a permit for the car park.

“Gorgeous house, really comfortable, loved the superking bed.”

You should mention that it is up a steep hill in the description. If elderly or ill, people will struggle

“Fantastic place to stay but the parking was impossible.”

Couldn’t get out car off the driveway for two days as someone had parked too close to the drive. Loved the cottage though.

- Mrs Dunn, June 2021
Mrs Hedley June 2021

“Cottage was lovely.”

Well equipped and comfortable. The only thing wrong for us was the location. We knew it would be up a hill as the name suggests but not expecting it to be such a steep hill. My husband is receiving cancer treatment and struggled with the hill. If we had known it was such a steep hill we would have booked somewhere more accessible for him. Maybe a note in the description about the location would help people with mobility issues choosing where to stay.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chapel Hill Cottage.”

It is close to the centre of Ambleside in a lovely set back location (on a hill as the name suggests). The cottage was well equipped and clean. We would definitely book to stay here again.

- Ms Curtis, May 2021
Mr Pagett April 2021

“We were very happy with the accommodation and the cottage was really nice and perfectly located close to the town.”

However the off street parking was completely inaccessible and there wasn’t any local parking near the cottage. As parking was a key factor in choosing accommodation, this was very disappointing. After a 6hr drive, arriving at your accommodation which you had selected for off street parking to find that you could not access was a real sour note. To have the same experience when trying to vacate the property took the shine off what would have otherwise been a lovely holiday. On the parking, even if there had not been rubbish bins and rubbish bags blocking the entrance or other cars parked up to the entrance thereby removing any chance of turning into the space, the space is so small that only a small town car could access not a large family car. Please remove from your website any reference to off street parking

“A beautiful cottage.”

Immaculately clean. Very well equipped kitchen. Extremely comfortable and cosy! We had a fabulous holiday.

“A super cottage right in the centre of Ambleside.”

Will be returning soon.

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.
