“The cottage itself and the location was fantastic.”

However, we were very disappoint to find on arrival that the cottage had not been cleaned. There was dirty bed linen and wet towels on the bedroom floors and the bathroom was dirty. Also the kitchen had dirty dishes left in the sink. We also found that one bedroom had a window wide open that couldn’t be closed. We did have someone arrive at 9:15 Friday evening with fresh bedding and towels, but we had to spend the first night with no bed sheets as our small children had already gone to bed ...

However, we were very disappoint to find on arrival that the cottage had not been cleaned. There was dirty bed linen and wet towels on the bedroom floors and the bathroom was dirty.

We did have someone arrive at 9:15 Friday evening with fresh bedding and towels, but we had to spend the first night with no bed sheets as our small children had already gone to bed. The cleaner also wanted to come in and clean at that time but give her her due, she did come back the next day and clean and make the beds. We also found that the garage at the property couldn’t be opened and so we struggled with parking our car.

“The house is brilliantly located, and had lots of space for a large family.”

The furnishings are traditional in style, but everything was very comfortable, and spotlessly clean. Brilliant beds which is unusual in a holiday let. We would be very happy to book again.

“Was disappointed when we arrived that the standard of cleaning was poor and not covid secure as advertised.”

Of most concern was that the kitchen table was dirty with food debris and there was a nappy in the kitchen bin

“We love Hillside and have stayed there a lot.”

It’s not the flashiest property but it is a brilliant location and we love the feel of the cottage. It has everything we need and space to spread out. We feel like we’ve come home when we go back there.

The property

Hillside Cottage is a lovely traditional Lakeland stone built property in a very characterful part of Ambleside just at the top of Peggy Hill and within a short stroll of all the village centre amenities. Nestling in an interesting conservation area, Hillside Cottage forms one side of an L-shaped row and faces down Smithy Brow giving fine views towards the distant hills of Loughrigg from all the front windows. Accommodation: Entrance through small covered porch into partly panelled hallway. The sitting room, on the right of the hall is comfortably furnished (TV, DVD and open fire). To the left of the hall is a newly fitted, well-equipped kitchen in oak with granite worktops and a dining area next to the window. Door from the kitchen gives access to the garage where the boiler is sited. There is also a separate utility room with wc and basin. The curved staircase leads to the first floor where there are four bedrooms - one double, one twin and two singles, all with views. Bathroom has bath with seperate shower & basin. Separate wc. Fitted carpets throughout. Furnishings throughout are in traditional style and there are some good antique pieces. Outside: Parking is on-street or in the garage, and there is a neat patio area behind the cottage reached up a few steps where you can sit outside (garden bench provided). Hillside offers comfortable accommodation in a good location and with the number of bedrooms is often of interest to families with older children who do not wish to share a room. Smaller parties will also enjoy the pleasing proportions of the downstairs reception rooms with their cosy atmosphere. Ambleside village 300 yards. Note: Owner does bring own dog to property.

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.
