“The design, construction, comfort, decor, equipment and facilities of Bank Foot are excellent and the location is so convenient.”

The garden was a delight and we were visited by over a dozen different species of birds, as well as the roe deer mentioned in the visitors book. The deer arrived on the evening of Easter Sunday and actually settled down for the night behind the pond! I have a photo of the deer should the owners like a copy.

All in all, a wonderful week ~ even the weather was marvellous. Many thanks.

Thank you for your kind comments. I am happy that you enjoyed your stay at Bank Foot and the wildlife in the garden in particular. The deer is rather partial to some of the garden plants but provides so much joy that I don’t mind at all. Property Owner

“Only reason not given a higher score is really because you have to follow government guidelines during this pandemic.”

Its the little finishing touches to the property that you have had to remove because of covid. But will be back again, as we have many times, an excellent base for exploring that area of the lake district..

“Stayed in Bank Foot on 3 occasions and love the cottage, location and the fact that we can leave the car in the garage.”

Although we reported on our first day the lounge blind sticking in a low position prohibiting light from entering the room, nothing was done about it. I also E-Mailed your Housekeeping Manager about the problem but did nt get a response. The fact that the price of a weeks stay at Bank Foot next August has increased by over £200 we will not be returning. I also expect nothing to be done about this feedback.

“Bank Foot was the perfect cottage to spend our week off in the Lakes.”

It had absolutely everything you could need & the garden was so perfect to sit out in the evening & have dinner. Location is great - just a 5 minute walk into Ambleside & 5 minutes to Lake Windemere. There are so many walks you can do from Bank Foot which made it so easy especially as it was quite busy in the car parks. Thank you so much & we can't wait to come back!

“Our second visit to Bank Foot and for good reason - convenient location for Ambleside centre but far enough from through traffic and footfall to be quiet and restful!”

- Andrew, July 2021
Diana June 2021

“A beautiful cottage in a perfect location near the centre of Ambleside within 5 minutes walk of all amenities, shops, pubs and restaurants.”

It has a lovely garden which catches the sun most of the day and is well equipped. You can spend the whole week here without having to use your car as there are plenty of walks on the doorstep and a good bus service.

“Please could something be done with the garage / parking.”

I damaged my car getting it in the garage as there are no low height warning signs. Best option would be to take it down and just have as a parking space.

- Simon, May 2021

“Its is a pity that now that Sykes has taken over we cannot just ring up and speak to a person.”

The prices of all the cottages have gone up a lot more than just general inflation why.

“We think the explanation of the garage limitations should be made clearer.”

Luckily we managed to fit a VW Golf in the garage, but if we had brought the Golf Estate it would definitely not have fitted in as the extra lump of concrete on the back wall protrudes into the garage space but there is room underneath just about to fit in part of the front of the car. Otherwise everything was good including the lovely gesture of leaving us some chocolates upon arrival. Lovely large towel were appreciated.

Geoff April 2021

“The location of the cottage was great, an easy walk into the centre of Ambleside.”

The cottage had everything we required and the garden area was a bonus especially with the wonderful weather we had. The only issue could be the parking as the garage is compact and with a tight shared access with two other properties on a slope it was tricky to say the least however it didn't spoil our stay. Overall a great cottage and a fantastic break

“We have stopped at this property many times and also used Heart of The Lakes for booking properties many times.”

I think that tells its own story as to why we pick these holidays. :-)

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, this property does not accept children or babies
