“I have booked with Heart of the Lakes for many years ,and had some lovely cottages.”

This cottage however was extremely lovely it had everything we needed and was so comfortable. Having its owen parking was why we chose this one and it was brilliant having your car at the door .will definitely be back to this great cottage.

“Fantastic cottage and setting.”

Scrupulously clean. Everything we wanted, even a designated parking space (really useful in Ambleside!). Thank you!

Terence March 2022

“Four Seasons is an excellent cottage, ideally situated and with the benefit of dedicated parking.”

We found the cottage to be clean, comfortable and nicely decorated and furnished. The kitchen is well planned and well equipped although more beer and wine glasses and teaspoons would be useful. Referring to previous reviews we found no issues with privacy or the heating and hot water systems, nor did we feel a washing machine was needed. A great cottage, we booked again whilst we were there!

“A lovely cottage situated in a great location within Ambleside.”

It had everything that we needed for our stay.

Many thanks for the great feedback. Best regards Property Owner
Peter February 2022

“Compact cottage which suited our needs , place was spotless when we arrived.”

Could possibly do with a bit more crockery but apart from that we enjoyed our stay. We couldn’t get shower temperature as hot as we would have liked but was working fine. Bed was very comfy with spare pillows etc supplied. No issues with heating, Hive timer ensured always warm throughout. The entrance vestibule was always very cold and wasn’t really suitable to drying wet clothing or shoes - well not in February anyway! Would still recommend and would consider staying in Four Seasons in future.

- Peter, February 2022

Many thanks for your feedback. The shower can be set to the ideal temperature with a pop up button on the right hand tap. If this needs to be altered, this can be done by turning the tap either forward or backwards to suit (instructions in guest book provided) As there is no heating in the small entrance hall, the upstairs landing cupboard can be used for airing damp clothing during the wet weather. Best regards. Property Owner
Geraldine January 2022

“Very clean and comfortable accommodation.”

The only problem we had was the television did not work for the first 2days. Thank you for supplying the towels this helped that I didn’t have to wash towels when I returned home. I would return.

- Geraldine, January 2022

Many thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately the issue with the television was out of our control. Sadly one of the neighbouring cottages experienced a severe water leak which affected the shared aerial booster located in their property. The electricity needed to be turned off until safe. Best regards. Property Owner
Rebecca December 2021

“Great little place to stay.”

Much cleaner than most Heart of the Lakers properties. Decent quality furnishings made it feel like home, close to everything but no washing machine kind of let it down. Hard to go walking for a week and not be able to wash stuff.

- Rebecca, December 2021

Many thanks for your lovely feedback. We would only be able to consider fitting a washing machine if we updated the kitchen, which will not be for some time. As with any booking, we would recommend checking the facilities section if you require a specific item during your holiday. Best regards. Property Owner
Carol December 2021

“Excellent property, however I could find no information on how the central heating worked which would have been handy as the times the heating was set to go on and off did not fit with the times we were in the cottage.”

- Carol, December 2021

Many thanks for the great feedback. The ‘Hive’ central heating controls were newly fitted prior to your stay. We have now provided printed instructions on how to change the settings to suit your needs. Best regards. Property Owner

Louise November 2021

“The cottage was nice but a couple of things would of made it better .”

Blinds or nets at the window . There was only curtains so for privacy having to close the curtains all day. No washing machine which was disappointing you need that . Also no hair dryer which I couldn’t believe I had to leave my hair wet wasn’t good.

- Louise, November 2021

Thanks for your feedback. The cottage is situated in a small, private and quiet courtyard with six other properties. Privacy has never been raised as an issue prior to this year, but as it has been commented on twice, it is something we are looking into. Hairdryers will soon be provided. With regards to a washing machine, we do not list this as a facility as there is currently none available in the property. Best regards. Property Owner
S September 2021

“I had to buy a hairdryer and an egg cup - pretty basic/standard items - no big deal but would have been good if these had already been installed in the cottage.”

Some vertical/privacy blinds would be nice - as the sofa faces the car park we were on show and so not very relaxing unless the curtains were closed. We love pet free propertys - much more hygienic, thank you. But unfortunately during our 2nd week Juniper Cottage/next door had a dog which barked in the middle of the night and ruined a couple of days holiday as were so tired - not nice being woken at 3.30 a.m. on more than one occasion. Obviously this is out of your hands but I think you should be made aware that this can be an issue. Happy for you to publish my feedback if ANONYMOUS. Thank you.

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.
