“We loved our stay with you, we felt very comfortable and enjoyed being on your working farm.”

Thank you for the fresh eggs and logs during our stay. The location was so good for us and was a complete getaway. We enjoyed visiting the National Trust properties and walks along the lake.

“Spacious and cute cottage situated a short drive from the lovely village of Ambleside.”

Bathroom is lovely with the underfloor heating and the deep bath is a great touch after a long day out walking. The bed is exceptionally comfortable, despite the restricted headroom upstairs. The range fire worked perfectly to keep us warm, with good instructions and a nice supply of wood. Although we would have preferred the seating to have been layed out a little differently so as to make more use of feeling cosy around the fire. We would definitely stay again.

“We loved everything about our stay at Jane's Cottage.”

The host family were very welcoming and helpful. The cottage itself was beautifully decorated and prepared. The farm and cottage were ideal for my wife and myself as we enjoyed a relaxing week in the Lake District. We enjoyed staying on a working farm, and loved seeing the ducks, chickens, horses, sheep and goats. The location of Jane's Cottage is excellent if you wish to be able to travel easily to many of the local attractions and to stay away from the busy crowds. Thank you for a lovely stay.

“Wonderful cottage, surrounded by lovely views of the hills.”

Really warm and cosy inside. The farm animals are a lovely bonus, great to get fantastic fresh barn eggs on request. The Outgate Inn is about a 15 minute walk from the farm. The village of Hawkshead a bit further, 30 minutes or so. Lots of great walks on the doorstep. The Owners are very friendly and helpful, we’ll be back

“The fridge and all the pots and pans were dirty and had to be cleaned before they could be used.”

This did not inspire confidence in Covid times. The drive was in very poor repair and had to be navigated extremely carefully to avoid damage to the car. Several things were not as described i.e the TV wasn't a Smart TV, the tumble dryer was broken, there was only garden funiture in the front yard and that was functional rather than luxury. The property is comfortable but far from the stated luxury. The location of the property is good and the people nice.

“This is a fantastic little (big for two) cottage on a working farm off the beaten track.”

Perfect for 'getting away from it all' but just a mile walk from Hawkshead. The facilities are all there and the Esse range well stocked for cooler nights. Owners very friendly and you can get involved with feeding the animals or not as you wish. Can't fault it and was a much needed short break away from 'the madding crowds'!

“A wonderful oasis with superb views and walks from the door.”

Just perfect!

“We had a wonderful holiday in this lovely farm-based cottage.”

It has everything you need and is ideally situated near Hawkshead, Ambleside and Windermere. It was beautifully decorated and very cosy - shame it wasn’t quite cold enough to light the fire!

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.
