Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"The cottage was “Absolutely Superb” in every detail."
You had thought of everything that we could need. The bedroom was fantastic. The little safety light on the landing was brilliant. Everything about the place was superb. Thank you very much for a great stay in Ambleside

"Our stay in Juniper Cottage was everything we hoped it would be."
The booking itself was very easy and I liked the way we had updates before our holiday, it was all very straightforward. The cottage was very comfortable and lovely to come back to after a day out. It was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need, the bed was very comfortable and the parking outside was a bonus. we would definitely book again and recommend it to others.

"Great cottage and location would be happy to return."
I am not convinced that it is reasonable to ask guests to strip the bed on departure; whereas it is reasonable to ask that the accommodation is left clean and tidy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave comments.
We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We do take all feedback on board.

"Although the cottage is in a great location for getting around the Lake District it is very dated and not particularly clean!"
!! I removed the sheets when I was leaving to find a huge urine stain on the mattress cover which actually smelt and the owner would not accept any responsibility for this!!!! I was disgusted to think I had spent a week in this bed!!!!

The cottage was clean and comfortable and provided everything I required. The only thing I will mention is that the Wi-Fi signal is very weak but I assume that’s due to the location of the cottage.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. We are glad that you enjoyed your return visit to the property.

"On arriving at Juniper Cottage we were very pleased parking and location was great."
On opening the door the porch was dirty cobwebs on the floor, kitchen was clean, the living area was dusty, upstairs the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned dark hairs in the bath, and a dirty floor. The bedroom was okay but on stripping the bed the mattress cover was stained. I can only conclude that the owner rely’s on the previous weeks tenants to clean the property as we left it in a better state than we found it.
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry that the cleanliness was not up to standard, this is something we take very seriously and we will pass all your comments on.

"This is a lovely, well appointed cottage in a great location, close to the town centre but avoiding the one way system allowing easy access."
The house is too hot! The heating system had labels on throughout the house asking not to be turned off. At this time of year when some days temperatures were in the high twenties this was just madness and meant that we had to have the windows open 24/7. This can’t be environmentally friendly or economical.
There is a strange smell permeating from the under stairs cupboard. We masked it with spray but it might need looking at and identifying

"The cottage is in a great location, had good facilities and on the face of it is an excellent place to stay, but on arrival the bathroom was unclean - apparent urine behind the toilet seat, down the back of the toilet, in the bowl, and a drip on the floor."
The sink was also grimy as was the bath. It clearly hasn’t had a proper clean for a long time as it’s very dusty above the bathroom mirror and also around the skirting boards. The kitchen bin also hadn’t been emptied from the previous occupants. The cleanliness needs to be addressed as you don’t want to travel hundreds of miles to do what the cleaner should be doing. I emailed Sykes twice and had no response. Unfortunately for these reasons I wouldn’t stay again.

The furnishings were comfortable and clean and the bedroom was lovely. It was great to come 'home' to at the end of a day on the fells. The lobby had shelves for our boots & rucksacks and there was a radiator too, so that our things dried, without cluttering the rest of the house up.

Close to all local amenities and on site parking was an advantage. Only slight disappointment was in regards supplies. We had one toilet roll for two people for a week. We had a third of a kitchen roll and a small amount of washing up liquid. We didn’t have any soap powder. With other cottages there has always been an adequate supply of such items, not sure if that’s what we should expect. That said it didn’t spoil our holiday and have already booked another holiday for 2019 with Sykes Cottages.

"Cottage was lovely,clean and warm and we would definitely stay there again."
My only slight issue was the note that was left to strip the bed linen on departure. I think it is reasonable to ask visitors to leave the cottage clean and tidy but it is unreasonable to expect them to have to do everything as you would expect the property to be re-cleaned thoroughly before the next guests arrive. There are hotels that charge less money and you would not be expected to do that for them.

The property
Juniper Cottage is a charming two-floor dwelling, located in the heart of Ambleside in the Lake District.
This beautiful, old-world cottage offers one-bedroom cosy accommodation with traditional rustic charm, for which the Lake District is famous.
It is one of seven adorable stone-fronted cottages which were converted from Ecclerigg Place courtyard.
It is the ideal setting for a couples romantic escape.
Upon entering Juniper Cottage, you will discover a generous open plan sitting room, kitchen and dining area.
The newly refurbished kitchen has all the equipment you need to cook delicious meals to recharge your batteries after a day of exploring.
There is an HD TV with Blu Ray DVD player in the living area and a selection of books to choose from.
Upstairs you will find the spacious double bedroom, which is also newly refurbished and boasts a second LED HD TV, along with the bathroom.
The bathroom is fitted with a shower over the bath, WC and washbasin.
Outside there is an onsite parking space for one car and direct access to the town of Ambleside.
You have no shortage of facilities and entertainment right on your doorstep.
Around every corner in Ambleside, you will find elegant shops, delightful pubs and exceptional restaurants.
You can also find superb walks right here in Ambleside with our woods and waterfall.
Grizedale Forest and the 17th-century Bridge House are well worth a look.
In addition to the attractions in Ambleside, you are only a stones throw from other renowned Lake District destinations, such as Grasmere Lake, where you can rent romantic rowboats.
Windermere Lake and its exceptional boast tours are only 11 minutes away by car.
Juniper Cottage is situated in the perfect place to launch your discovery of the magnificent Lake District.
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.
