  • "We had a wonderful stay at Cosy Cottage!"

    It was everything we hoped for and more! The cleanliness, fluffy towels and tasteful decor throughout was excellent retaining a cosy cottage feel with modern facilities! We will certainly book again and would have no hesitation in highly recommending this beautiful cottage! The location was perfect and central to the beautiful town centre offering local bakeries, a well stocked deli and quaint coffee shops! Welcoming pubs with open fires and plentiful restaurants gave a general warm friendliness to visitors of Ambleside and was a pleasure to experience! Paul & Bev

  • "Would be good if the lovely ceiling window in top floor bedroom (same in its bathroom) was cleaned."

    A new plug in upstairs washbasin and the “large” flush button of upper toilet doesn’t work. It was a lovely cottage overall though and well kitted out.

  • "Stunning cottage for the 3 of us."

    Super location. Was a bit worried about going out and then coming back and trying to find a parking space at the car park especially at the weekend but I had no such trouble. We have stayed at a number of cottages in Ambleside and although smaller than a few of them it was just as good if not better. Everything you need including smart TV and Wi-Fi for the kids. Tap yard is a must for dining out just book in advance!

    Thank you for your lovely feedback, we hope we can welcome you back again in the future. David and Julia Property Owner

    It lives up to its name! Even has a gift of ‘credit’ in the excellent deli just around the corner, which was much appreciated. Perfect!

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants, and pubs in the village to suit all tastes, including the popular eateries of Misto, Sheila's Cottage, and The Lily Bar. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
