“This was the 4th time we’ve stayed at this property, it’s in a great location to walk into Ambleside (and not have to negotiate parking in the local car park!”

). The property itself is modern, warm and comfortable. The pillows had been replaced this time with much more comfortable ones! The only tiny negative is that I think it could do with a deep clean, for example I went under the sofa to retrieve one of my daughter’s toys and it was a bit grim under there. Otherwise it was another great holiday and I’m sure we’ll be back!

“The house was amazing - a real home from home.”

Everything was spotlessly clean on arrival, there were plenty of fresh towels, the beds were comfortable (the children really loved sharing the bunk room!) and there was plenty of crockery and cutlery, etc. The garden was perfect for the dog - there is a small gap round the corner which leads onto the driveway, but we just blocked that using the green wheelie bin and it was fine! The house is situated in a perfect, quiet location, just a couple of minutes walk into the town and close to a few amazing walks both from Ambleside and the surrounding villages such as Grasmere. We would definitely recommend this property and we are definitely going to come back next summer if we can get booked in!

“We had a great holiday, the cottage is in a super location and there is so much to do within easy reach.”

The cottage also has ample room (we were a group of 5) and great common space.

“We were very disappointed with the standards of the beds, cheap mattresses, few holes in quilts.”

Bedrooms with no mirrors, dressing table and wardrobe space. Not enough pots and pans and also standard of glasses and cutlery were cheap. We would not return to this property again and believe it was overpriced

“Pillows were very hard and thick and difficult to get comfortable on.”

Power tripped out and the key to the fuse box cupboard was missing so a Sunday night call out was required. Railway sleepers in the garden were oozing tar which our dog lay in and then required a costly trip to the vet to have it removed from her coat. Other than that it was great

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.
