  • "It would be a good idea to have a few novels available."

    Most holiday cottages have a selection. Also the lack of a welcome pack of tea,sugar,milk and biscuits . Just a minor detail but can make a big difference if able to make a cuppa after a long and tiring journey. Need to point out that it is a very steep climb up the hill from the town. My husband and I got a taxi every day!!

  • "The House was very comfortable and clean."

    My only slightly negative feedback would be a lack of comfortable seating in an evening if there were more than 6 adults. There is a chair, 3 seater and 2 seater (unless you squeezed more into them). Other than that we found it ideal for our needs. This cannot be addressed but worth noting it sits at the top of a steep ascent through the estate - no matter to us as we are able to and wanted to walk the hills. The garden albeit equipped with a lovely garden set doesn’t get much light so we didn’t use it despite fantastic sunny weather. Kitchen very well equipped with top quality appliances. We would look to rebook if staying in Ambleside again.

  • "This house was just perfect for our group, with 4 bedrooms so enough room for the 5 of us."

    It is very pet friendly and was great to be able to take out 2 dogs. The house is well maintained and is very comfortable. The beds are good and the living area has plenty of space for everyone. One review says that the ground floor bedroom had a damp smell but we didn’t find that. There is a fan and the windows open if further ventilation is needed. The property is a short walk into Ambleside about 10 mins but you do keep fit walking back up the hill. The host got in touch and was very welcoming and helpful. We would definitely visit again.

    Thank you Fiona for your generous comments and we look forward to welcoming you in the future, to continue your experience of the lovely Lake District. Property Owner

  • "The location was bit far to walk into town due to hills not suitable for anyone with mobility issues."

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We do take your comments on board, however, the listing does state that the property is in 'an elevated position' Thank you. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

  • "Good location in Ambleside."

    Property well equiped. Bedroom on ground floor smells a little damp & mould in sealant around shower. Sofa's on 1st floor smell musty. All bedrooms on 2nd floor clean & in good order. Main bathroom tired & presonally hate a shower curtain. All recycle bins in outdoor cupboard full & overspill on floor. Woken at 4am every morning by a cockerall that is free range & nests in trees opposite house. Accidently left a small item contacted Sykes twice & after 2 weeks have heard nothing.

    Thank you for your comments. We take all comments on board, and will be passed on to the relevant teams. Thank you The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

  • "You told us there would be a stair gate to protect our young child, apparently the owner informed you that this was not possible but somehow this information was not passed on to us."

    The accommodation was very well equipped and the views from the property were amazing.

    Hi, I trust you had a successful walk up Scafell. It’s a shame that you failed to mention to me on the Friday when I working at the property installing new 8 person garden furniture, a bench at the front to admire the view, upgrading the fence and a customised porch mat. I discussed your request 4 months ago and declined because of insurance, decorative and the customised ironwork bannisters. The listing is accurate it’s does not include stair gates but there is a cot and high chair in the back bedroom wardrobe . I’m pleased you enjoyed the views, location and large amounts of accommodation. Property Owner

  • "Amazing views and a great location!"

    Ambleside is a short walk away with many restaurants, shops and cafes, as well as the start of some great walks. It is also a great base to explore the wider Lake District. The property has 4 well-sized bedrooms as well as large living areas. We had plenty of room for friends and family.

    Dear Bethany I’m so happy you found the property a great location to explore the beautiful Lake District and you had plenty of space. I have to admit the views are stunning. Look forward to having you and your friends back soon, all the best for 2024. Property Owner

Take the stairs up to the first floor and explore the living areas; here, you will find a well-equipped kitchen to assist with your home-cooking and Fairfield View (sitting room) which is sure to make you feel at home from the moment you step in.

Enjoy a night in from the Smart TV or make your way to the rear patio and enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple as you reflect on the day.

The remaining bedrooms rest on the second floor, including two king-size & one double sized room, individually named (Wansfell, Loughrigg Fell & Great Rigg) with glorious country views, along with a family bathroom with bath and shower over.

Surrounded by rolling hills, lush woodlands, and nestled at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, the largest natural lake in England, Ambleside offers a postcard-perfect setting.

The bustling town is a 10 minute stroll is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a plethora of activities such as hiking, mountain biking, water sports and popular trails like the Fairfield Horseshoe and Loughrigg Fell providing breathtaking views of the surrounding fells and lakes, while the picturesque Stock Ghyll Force waterfall is a short walk from the town centre.

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, a cinema and pubs in the village to suit all tastes, including the popular eateries of Misto, Zefferellis, 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.
