“Sofas are a bit past their sell by date.”

Could do with a bit more crockery. The dual flush on the toilet doesn’t work properly.

“A really beautiful cottage and very well equipped (would have been great to have a teapot as well as coffee pot…) surprisingly spacious and lots of space to store clothes and belongings.”

It says access to garage for storage of bikes etc but we could not get in… this just meant using the utility room which was not a problem. Lovely entrance porch with space for boots and rucksacks. Would definitely recommend staying here and would book again, thank you

“Lovely bungalow - immaculately clean and very well equipped.”

Very comfortable beds. Great location. Short stroll into Ambleside and very quiet. Couldn’t fault it at all and would definitely recommend to others and use it again.

“The heating and water went off the evening of our arrival.”

However after reporting it the following morning it was dealt with and repaired within the hour. Brilliant response! The cottage was spotless and well equipped.

“Although the description does state that the drive is steep, we found it to be unusable as it scraped the underneath of our car, and I think this would be the case for most cars.”

This was not an issue for us as we could park across the top of the drive, but I feel this potential problem should be better highlighted in the accommodation description to help guests with two cars. The accommodation itself was spotlessly clean, the bed was really comfortable, and it felt like a home from home. We would definitely stay again in the future.

It is comfortable and cosy as well as been ideally placed for exploring Ambleside and the wider area. We will definitely be back again next year. Thank you.

“The house is in a brilliant location and was perfect for our needs.”

It was really thoughtfully equipped and we didn't find anything that was missing from the well stocked kitchen. Thanks very much.

Clean and comfortable home. Lovely little garden. Great location! (Just found the drive a bit steep to park our car)

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.
