“Great place to stay.”

Very clean and spacious. Happy to visit again. Only down sides were a bit of traffic noise off the road but mainly he old mattress in the main bedroom needed replacing as the springs have gone.

“Lovely and beautifully decorated cottage and good location for exploring the Lake District from the door.”

The owner has left lots of useful recommendations for local walks. Shower - either hot or cold water and therefore but challenging to shower children. When we came; dishwasher had some water inside as it was switched off half way through the programme probably by the previous visitors. It would be very helpful if at least small soap was in the bathroom. It was our first stay where no soap provided. We would like to come back.

“Excellent stay, 2nd time here around.”

The properties location and space/comfort are the main reasons we came back. Negatives are the uncomfortable double bed needs replacing and whilst I understand there is Covid protocols I do think not having any soap in the bathroom and being asked to strip the beds are both unnecessary considering it’s a virus we all have to live with now! I saw the prices were going up about 20% for next year, that’s a big increase!

“We loved the property and the area.”

So convenient - we left the car in the car park the whole time we were there (thanks for the permit). The cottage we found very comfortable, clean (except the toilet brush) and tidy. The information pack was really useful - good recommendations for pubs/restaurants and local walks. Not a lot negative we can say. Unloading/loading on a reasonably busy road is inconvenient but can’t be helped. Also, we had to contact Sykes to get information about the parking permit.

“Nice home. Large living area and well though out area for boots and coats.”

Some mold around the back door. Could do with 2 parking permits as we were 2 couples. Quite a lot of road noise in front bedroom. The double bed needs replacing, extremely uncomfortable and creaking. Mattress was far too soft, kept rolling into middle of bed. A little disappointed by the cottage, mostly due to the bed, wouldn't stay here again due to it. Re the company- Tried to contact the office on Saturday, the 1st day of our stay, multiple times - the phone did not ring on either number and no way to leave a message. No where on your website does it say office opening hours so we had no way of knowing what time we could get the parking permit.

“A beautiful cottage.”

Clean, warm, spacious and a convenient location. A home from home. Two small observations...while there was plenty of hot water the shower was a challenge; it was almost impossible to get the right mix of hot and cold. Also, from the blurb I had expected a garden or at least a reasonable patio. But overall, I loved it. Eileen.

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.
