“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!”

- Mr Naysmith, July 2021
Mrs Gill 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.

- Mrs Gill, June 2021
Mr Rowe May 2021

“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.

Mr Tickner 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.

Mrs Eales-johnson April 2021

“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.

Mr Hunter 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 all ways have cottage holidays, and I can honestly say this is one of the best properties we have stayed in.”

- Mr Smith, Dec 2019
Mr Grayston Dec 2019

“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. :-)

The cottage has been carefully refurbished and will be popular with all ages offering an eclectic mix of character and modern with all the comforts of home. Accommodation: Three steps down to the entrance hallway with hooks for coats and space to leave your outdoor gear. The light and spacious lounge/dining room has some fell views, A-frame beams and patio doors to a pretty cottage garden (gas stove, TV freesat, Blu Ray DVD and Wi-Fi). A well planned kitchen offers all facilities with cream units and slate flooring. The bedroom has a king-size bed and there is a separate house bathroom with shower over bath, basin and WC.

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
