“It is a lovely cottage, very cosy and comfortable.”

The proximity of the local bus route was a great bonus (able to use my bus pass) as were all the local walks. Every time I return to the Lake District I love it more.

“Larch Cottage is a tiny, beautifully furnished cottage in a cracking spot in Hawkshead.”

It is spotlessly clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is an abundance of walks from the door, so we had no need to use the car at all. I would concur with another reviewer that a larger or reclining sofa would make it absolutely perfect. I would definitely recommend it and would visit again.

“A lovely cozy little cottage.”

Beautifully warm and with a well equipped kitchen for a self catering holiday. My only suggestion would be maybe a larger sofa or an arm chair in the living room to give a bit more relaxing space.

“The cottage was immaculately clean with everything you could need.”

The location was peaceful with easy access to everywhere and lots of walks from the door. The local bus service was first class and the stop was literally outside the door. Would recommend to couples x

Neil September 2021

“We stayed for a week with our little Jack Russell Jessica, in September.”

The cottage is perfect with beautiful high end furnishings. Everything we could possibly need was provided including a bottle of wine in the fridge which was very welcome after a long drive! The bed was very comfortable and the shower was powerful, exactly what you need after a hard day walking. The kitchen has everything you need. Our dog settled instantly because Larch Cottage has a lovely homely feel. I would definitely recommend to anyone and will hopefully return in the not too distant future.

Kenneth August 2021

“Larch Cottage was the perfect holiday retreat - the ideal location, surrounded by classic Lake District countryside with endless opportunities for enjoying the area right on the doorstep.”

The cottage has been thoughtfully equipped and furnished, and is extremely comfortable. We would have welcomed having more cutlery in the kitchen - it would have reduced the use we made of the dishwasher during our stay.

- Kenneth, August 2021

“Real gem of a holiday cottage in a great location with walks over the fields to Hawkshead and just down the road from Tarn Hows.”

Margaret October 2020

“Small cosy cottage situated just outside Hawkeshead but on a bus route so you could leave the car and get a bus to Windermere etc easily.”

Very well equipped with Laura Ashley furniture and bedding. Gas fire and central heating which was nice and warm on a cold evening. Nice bottle of wine left in the fridge for us. A great little bolt hole for two.

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.

Note: Sorry, no children.
