"We had a lovely week at Greenways."
Only a five minute walk into Ambleside yet Greenways is so peaceful. We couldn’t fault the cottage at all. It was very well equipped ,spotlessly clean and very comfortable.So much attention to detail. Unfortunately we lost our dog in June so he didn’t get to enjoy it but I am sure he would have. It’s one of the best we’ve stayed in. We can’t wait to come back.
We're so sorry to hear about your dog - we lost ours a couple of years ago now and we still miss him. Glad you had a good week, thank you for your kind words and for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated, you're welcome back any time! Best regards Phil and Judy Property Owner

Thank you for your kind words, we're glad you enjoyed your week! Also, thank you for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated! We hope to see you back again in future. Best regards Phil and Judy Property Owner

"The bungalow is very comfortable and clean and has everything you need."
It is in a lovely quiet location, has great parking and is only a very short walk from the shops in Ambleside. We had a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to returning in May 2025.

"Greenways is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location."
It has everything that you need to enjoy a fantastic break in Ambleside. The cottage was perfect. It is fully stocked and extremely comfortable. It has two outdoor seating areas, and both are real sun traps (if you’re lucky enough to get some sun). Easy parking on the drive in front of the cottage and a short stroll into town. We hope to book again next year.
Hi both, thank you for your review, your kind words and for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - you are definitely welcome back any time! We're pleased you had sufficient sun to test both of our patios! Best regards Phil and Judy Property Owner

"We had another lovely stay at Greenways."
It is definitely home from home. It is very clean and well equipped. Location is very good and central. The garden is lovely with 2 seating areas but the garden isn't fully secure for our little dog as she jumped over the wall into the next garden. This would not put us off as we kept her on a long lead after that. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely stay.
You must have an athletic dog! There's not much we can do about the wall I'm afraid. Thank you so much for leaving the place so clean and tidy - you're welcome back anytime! Regards Phil and Judy. Let us know what you want us to do about your overtrousers! Property Owner

"Greenaway was a lovely place to stay."
Everything was very clean and we loved the views from the kitchen and lounge . The garden was great for our dog and there are lots of good walks from the cottage so no need to use the car everyday. It was also very handy for the shops and cafe's just down the road. Would love to stay here again sometime.

"Lovely cosy bungalow in a great location."
A 5 minute down hill walk to the village. The house is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything that you would need. We had taken my 97 year old mother with us who enjoyed her break. Due to the steep hill up to the bungalow we had to use the car to get her up and down to the village which was a bit of a pain. I would not recommnend this location to elderly or infirm due to the incline getting back up to cottage. For us it was great.
Thank you for your kind words in your review, we are glad you enjoyed your break. We have taken note of your comments about Gale Rigg and have amended the website information to warn potential guests who are elderly or are infirm - thank you for bringing it to our attention.

"The cottage was immaculately clean, and very well equipped."
We really appreciated the comprehensive information about the bins and heating system, something we've struggled with in other cottages. The bed was very comfortable with the mattress topper on, and the towels were really good quality. The location was also very good, quiet but very close to the town centre. We noticed that BBC1 did not come up on the tv so we had to access it via iPlayer - possibly the channel needs retuning?
Hi, thanks for your kind words in your review. Also, thank you so much for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated! I'll check the TV for BBC 1 reception, thank you for letting us know. We hope to see you back again in future.....best regards - Phil and Judy. Property Owner

"We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Greenways."
The location was superb with just a 5-10 minute walk into Ambleside and a 15 minute walk to Waterhead, making it very easy to explore the local area by foot. The house itself was immaculate, very well equipped and comfortable, with plenty of storage space and two lovely patio areas outside. Highly recommended for an active but relaxing family break.
Hi Mr Hayman, thank you so much for your positive feedback and also thank you for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy, much appreciated - you are definitely welcome to come back in future! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay despite the ‘variable’ weather! Best regards Phil Nendick Property Owner

"We found a Greenways the bungalow very good excellent facilities would not ..."
We found a Greenways the bungalow very good excellent facilities would not hesitate to recommend only five minutes to the village however due to the a couple of very steep roads it is not ideal for people of a certain age or any medical issues is actually cost ourselves 70 pound in taxis to get back from the town I am so much surprised this hasn't been mentioned before however the bungalow was beautiful and the scenery from all windows was beautiful
We are so sorry to hear of your problems with Gale Rigg. Nobody has mentioned this as a problem before but we take on board what you say. Although we wouldn’t describe Gale Rigg as “very steep”, we accept that the slope upwards to Greenways could be an issue to someone with health problems. We will liaise with Heart of the Lakes to mention the slope in their property description for Greenways - thank you for bringing this to our attention and thank you for the positive content of the rest of your feedback, much appreciated. While we accept that you probably won’t be returning to Greenways in future, we wish you luck in finding a more suitable Ambleside property more on the level for future holidays Best regards Phil Nendick Property Owner

"Our stay at Greenway's was a very enjoyable experience."
As well as the delightful weather and breath-taking views the cottage was comfortable and immaculate. We highly recommend Greenways to anyone seeking a holiday in the beautiful Ambleside and look forward to returning.

"Lovely property only 5 mins walk from Ambleside."
Comfortable property, kitchen well equipped. Clean and uncluttered. Seating area front and back. Only one minor maintenance issue, the shrubs / bramble running along side the path from the front to the back garden needs trimming back.
Hi, thanks for your feedback! We've been away on holiday so the garden has been a tad neglected over the past 2 weeks. I've popped over this afternoon and cleared the path - thanks again for letting us know. We're glad you enjoyed your week in Greenways in the sunshine! Best wishes Phil and Judy. Property Owner

"One of the best properties we have stayed in."
Comfortable, very well equipped. Lovely secure garden. Only very slight negative, water a little cool for our liking and a mop would be good to clean up on wet days etc.
Hi, we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Greenways! Sorry to hear the water wasn’t as hot as it could be - we’ve just had the boiler serviced so the engineer possibly tweaked something. I’ll go round this afternoon and increase the temperature - thanks for letting us know, much appreciated! Best regards Phil and Judy Property Owner

"Lovely place to stay."
Very peaceful area and lovely views. The shower was a bit cool for us it really could do with a temperature increase especially after a cold walk! Otherwise a great place to stay and we would like to stay there again
Hi, sorry you weren't pleased with the shower. The more you push the lever over, the faster the flow and so the temperature decreases. Turn the lever back a smidge and the water will be hotter! We hope to see you back at Greenways in future. Property Owner

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. 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.
