An excellent base for exploring the area

Lovely colourful decor. Comfortable beds. Good provision for self-catering. Easy access to the town and shops. Expected parking to be a bit tricky at times but most of the time, we could park outside.

Great place. To stay in Ambleside

This is such a convenient location & nice house. Everything was good. Only slight downside was it was tricky to park close to the house due to the number of cars at surrounding properties. That aside would highly recommend

Fantastic comfy cottage

We have had a fantastic stay in this cottage. It's really well equipped, warm and comfortable. There is plenty of space for us and our 2 kids (9 and 14). Good size and pleasant outdoor space and South facing to soak up the sunshine. The best thing about the cottage is its location 2 minutes from the centre of Ambleside but really tucked away and peaceful. We only used our car once in a week and enjoyed many walks from our doorstep. Sue the owner was brilliant at responding to messages and quick to sort out a minor problem. We really recommend this cottage and we'll definitely book it again.

Excellent location and cosy base for a lovely walking holiday

Our second visit to Lookfar and we enjoyed it just as much though the weather wasn't quite as wonderful. All of Ambleside is on the doorstep and when it was raining, we had space and facilities to enjoy. Very comfy beds, good showers, large TV, maps and guides for the area.

Perfect location, beautiful views, all mod cons.

We were very happy with the cottage. It was well-equipped, cosy, and perfectly situated. We had a mixed bag of weather, but I can't blame the property for that. The beds were very comfortable, the wifi worked well, the TV was high quality, the cooker worked, and there is a very useful outside drying / laundry room. The location is the best bit though. One minor point - the mirror in the top bathroom tends to mist up as soon as you turn the shower on, so I would have liked a pole for opening the skylight. Overall - excellent. Thank you for making us feel welcome.

Fantastic holiday home 😁

Fantastic holiday home to come back to after a day walking the fells, cycling to Wray Castle, kayaking at Windermere or a simple stroll back from the local pubs. Beautifully furnished and fitted out and great location. Would definitely come back. Highly recommended.

Quirky Bolthole with all the Trimmings!

We thoroughly enjoyed this cottage - it has everything you need for a wonderful break in the Lakes. It's location is second to none and lovely walks can taken directly from the door steps. Internally it comes into its own. The facilities, layout, equipment and furniture is of a very high standard without being fussy. It is a lovely place to return to after a day on the fells, walks and surrounding villages. We would highly recommend this property to anybody who loves the Lakes! Karen & John Brocklehurst

Beautiful cottage and fantastic location. Tastefully decorated throughout and well equipped. Thanks

This is a beautiful cottage and a fantastic location. We were impressed at how tastefully it had been decorated and equipped to a high standard. The car park permit worked well although there is parking directly outside for one car. Good views from the master bedroom. Excellent storage for bikes in a locked outhouse together with chest freezer. Pleasant patio to the front for sitting and relaxing in the sunshine. So convenient to Ambleside centre and all it has to offer. The two bathrooms were a real bonus although we found only one shower could be used at any one time. Would highly recommend.

A very nice house in an excellent location

We very much enjoyed our stay in this house, which is very nicely furnished and presented and was very clean and generally well-equipped. It has a superb location within two minutes' walk of central Ambleside, while also convenient for embarking on walks. As we told the agent, the main light on the ground floor and another light weren't working, but they didn't manage to get anyone along to look, so it was a bit dark, but other than that, everything was great.

Stunning property and so comfortable

4 of us went for the weekend to find the perfect cottage! Every room was beautiful. We have stayed in a few places in Ambleside before and not one of them is a patch on this one. The devil is in the detail! It was obvious from the comments book everyone enjoys their stay. And any comment that suggests an improvement has been thoughtfully addressed. It was so handy to walk into town so we could happily celebrate the birthday we had gone away for! Would recommend highly, and will definitely be booking again.
