“Beautiful cottage, cosy, comfortable and equipped with everything you could want.”
Close to centre of Ambleside, a really beautiful place to stay. Unfortunately there was quite alot of noise throughout two nights of our seven night stay. A van alarm from the garage along the lane repeatedly going off at 2.15am! Another night we were awoken by 8 visitors arriving at youth hostel centre (?) across the yard reversing with beepers up lane in minibus at 1.30am and lots of noise/lights outside. Having said that it's a quiet area without passing road noise, and we were able to park outside the cottage in a designated place. The hostel building (?) across the yard did seem to have frequent, short stay guests arriving throughout the days and nights. We weren't aware that this facility was opposite the cottage when we booked. Well equipped kitchen, however, the microwave was difficult to use as the duration of cooking time was tricky to set. The dvd player remote control didn't work, the battery wasn't one that was in the spares left at the property.
Thank you for your comments.
We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay, finding the cottage to be cosy, and well equipped.
We are sorry to read of the issues that you experienced with noise.
We hope to welcome you again.

From the Owners:
We are very sorry that you were disturbed at night during your stay. The Drill Hall opposite Rock Lea is a very small traditional slate hut and used for outward bound overnight stays of short duration (1-2 nights), with numbers restricted. Noise is supposed to be controlled after hours due to the residential location and we have informed those who manage the Hall of the recent disturbance.
We do hope you will return in the future.
