Number 5 - 4-Bed Bungalow with Parking & Garden
Number 5 is a gorgeous Ambleside holiday cottage less than a 10-minute walk from the vibrant Ambleside Town Centre.
With off-street parking, four stunning bedrooms, spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area and outdoor garden space, this detached bungalow is ideal for families or a walking/cycling holiday with friends.
The four bedrooms have been beautifully decorated, and the large windows allow plenty of natural light. One of the double bedrooms benefits from en suite shower facilities, while the remaining three bedrooms have the house bathroom and a separate WC.
The living area is where it all happens - "The Number 5 Social Hub" - where discussions are had about the day's activities, and delicious meals are prepared. On warmer days, why not open the bifold patio doors to enjoy the outdoor space and on colder days, light the fabulous wood-burning stove?
Naturally, not everyone wants to cook while on holiday. Conveniently, the house is just a short stroll to the town centre, where you'll find a fantastic choice of restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Old Stamp House.

Short stay with family
Booked this via VRBO and was forwarded to Hereward Cottages. Upon booking we were under the impression we had 4 bedrooms to use as we pleased - however, we were told (pretty rudely via email) the 4th bedroom was only suitable for children (even though the beds would have easily held a fully grown adult on the bottom bunk). We'd also booked two dogs but didn't check this at time of booking, again, being told pretty rudely 'they would have to check' this was ok (it was btw!).All in all the actual bungalow was lovely, very clean, easy check in, comfy beds, sociable communal area, perfect location on the edge of Ambleside (steep hill to walk up so bare in mind if elderly staying with you).Downside: neighbour complained about parking as we'd left one vehicle half on the road and the path which she said was 'her space for visitors if they wanted to visit for an hour or two'. So please be aware, the driveway is VERY tight for 3 vehicles. (we had a TROC, Nissan Juke and Peugeot 206 and it was a SQUASH!)
