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!

No problems with parking and allocated space outside of property. Wi-fi reliable although we were mostly out and about.Property clean throughout. Best feature was the location for us. Just a 5 min stroll into town for pubs, shops and cafes and also benefits from great walks being available from doorstep.

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.
