“Very nice cottage for two.”

Steep uphill from town if on foot, parking on very quiet road outside cottage.

Steep uphill from town if on foot, parking on very quiet road outside cottage. As other reviewers have mentioned, the hob and oven are very complicated to operate, with only vague manufacturers booklets for reference. We managed to get the oven to stay on, but gave up on the hob. They are probably easy to operate when you know how! The boiling hot water tap was useful, we spent some minutes looking for the kettle when we first arrived!

“Wonderful wonderful high spec cottage, perfect a couple and a dog!”

We had a great stay. Definitely not one for anyone with mobility difficulties due to location.

“This cottage was in a lovely road, it's quite small but has everything you need.”

It's quaint but modern. The kitchen has everything, the bed was comfortable, the small garden was lovely for afternoon sun and we didn't feel anything was missing. It was very clean and well laid out, would definately go back.

“It was a really beautiful cottage and we were very comfortable for our 3 night stay, however just a couple of things to note, the radiator in the bedroom was not working so was quite chilly at night & only the bottom half of the heated radiator was working in the bathroom so this needs to be looked at.”

The property had been cleaned to a sufficient standard, however I think drawers need to be checked as items of clothing had been left from previous guests. A brief overview or guide on how to use some of the kitchen facilities would be handy to have next time & also some information on walks closer to the Ambleside area. Overall we had a lovely stay & would be happy to return in the future.

“Central heating needs bleeding as most upstairs rads barely warm and gargled all night, I would have done it but didn't in case boiler pressure went off.”

The lingerie left in the bedroom was likely from previous renter? It is in bedside drawer? Some instructions on the excellent water boiler tap would be welcome. We never found out how to keep the halogen hob working so instructions on that would have been most useful too, thankfully lockdown finished. The wifi password is only on the hub point and some renters may not find it. A lovely little modern smart and beautiful cottage in a great location. We hope the feedback helps to make it 10/10 for the lucky next user.

“Cottage was very nice but all the fancy technology was wasted when we didn't know how to use them.”

A welcome pack with some basic instructions would have gone a long way.

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.
