We had such a lovely stay with our young family at this charming cottage. The view was wonderful and the property was clean, comfortable and in a very convenient location, just a short walk into the town, the bus stops and the water front. The kitchen is well stocked and there are lots of books and games in the living room. The host was always quick and helpful in responding to our messages. Already looking forward to staying again!

Cottage with a view

The lovely view from the lounge/diner makes the property, which was very well equipped and very well located in relation to the village centre and its many restaurants and shops. Our stay was enhanced by some really exceptional weather.

Lovely property in great location

We had a fantastic stay in Ambleside, largely due to the location of this property. A 5 minute walk from the centre of town and lots of restaurants and pubs but far enough away from the centre to be private. Amazing views. A little difficult to find in the first place but once we located it, all was good! Thank you!

Fantastic cosy base for our short stay. Great view, feels like a world away from civilisation but less than a five minute walk to Ambleside town centre. Five minutes in the opposite direction and we were onto the fells. Our host Linda was very helpful throughout.

February Half Term in Ambleside

We had a great week, the house has masses going for it, the view is great, it’s really convenient to pop into Ambleside but far enough away so it’s quiet. The beds are comfy, the house is warm and inviting, it has pretty much everything you need to be a home away from home. Thankyou

Lovely Stay

We had a really lovely stay. Thank you! Only issue we had is there was nowhere to park so had to pay £18 to park car in central Ambleside and it was a walk... lucky we liked the walk! Host said there is planning permission for parking to be resolved. Beautiful views over the lake and the property itself was very comfortable and we enjoyed a game of Jenga on a rainy day so would recommend!

This was a fabulous cottage for a family. Great location with some short walks with lovely views of perfect length for two kids age 5 and 6 (Rydal caves and Grasmere being our favourite). Great access to the lake for various boat based activities and an easy walk into Ambleside for some interesting shops (the Rock shop and toy shop were particularly interesting). Cottage itself was clean and cosy and had truly stunning views. Rooms over 3 floors so the kids expended some energy going up 2 flights of stairs to bed. Some toys and books that helped entertain the kids too. Kitchen was small but fine for only 5 people (just don’t do a weeks shop in one hit!). Communication with host was easy and she responded quickly, sorting out some minor problems quickly.

Authentic cosy cottage in lakes

Ultimately the cottage seems to be a home to the owners how they like it. Cosy, practical & functional. Absolutely fine for us and accurately described - location really good & parking great for 1 vehicle we have a discovery and no problem. We took a fire stick down but you can’t link that up to the network, which was unusual- no porch for wet stuff, but you can see this from advert so again prepared for it. Anyway really enjoyed stay and would book again.
