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!

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

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.

Blue Hill Road Cabin

The accommodations were comfortable. I recommend the address location be better labeled on the stone wall. The cab driver had difficulty finding Cabin 3. The stone wall hides the view of the cabin. The laundry from the previous tenants never got picked up and the red laundry bag sat on the front stoop all week. The outside views from the dining room window, kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms were splendid.

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!

Fantastic bolthole in a great spot

We had just over a week in this delightful cottage very nicely situated in Ambleside: an easy walk to the town (even for those of us less mobile) but a nice, quiet location for relaxing. The view - much mentioned by other reviews - does not disappoint! The sitting room is filled with light and is very comfortable indeed. The kitchen is well-equipped. It was perfect for our needs. Some small things to note: water pressure is much the same as in any old property, so expect a functional experience rather than a power shower. Beds were a little firm for our taste but this is entirely subjective and may suit many others! Parking wasn't always straightforward - the neighbouring properties all seemed very busy our week so be prepared for a little bit of shuffling in busy weeks, especially if you have a larger vehicle or more than one car in your party. These were small things much outweighed by the overall experience of a great holiday. We would definitely stay again and recommend this property..

Wonderful getaway at a well-appointed, comfortable cottage with beautiful views

Our family, me, my wife and our two sons (aged 18 and 15) had a memorable time at the property. We were blessed with warm and dry weather, which was cheering especially since the forecasts had promised rain, and we made the most of the location, driving out to Keswick one day, Grizedale on another and going for a long car tour of the North West lakes that included the awe-inspiring Whinlatter, Hardknot and Wrynose mountain passes. But for the rest of the week we walked from the cottage and say the lovely Stockghyll waterfall, the "Champion Tree" walk in the woods to the south of Ambleside, and we climbed up Loughriff Fell, the big hill opposite the cottage which afforded lovely views of Ambleside on the descent. And Ambleside itself is such a gem. Although busy, it has a enchanting charm. The cottage is so well appointed and so beautifully decorated, with comfortable furniture and aesthetically pleasing furnishings, it fitted our family so well. Cliff Coultart
