  • "Such a lovely property in a fabulous location."

    Beds very comfortable and house warm and cosy. The owners have provided everything you could possibly need. It is evident that much thought has gone into making this a beautiful place to stay. Very close to all amenities with views of the surrounding fells. Thank you to housekeeping. The house was spotless on arrival and lovely and welcoming. Much recommended.

  • "Really beautiful home to stay in and very comfortable."

    Kitchen is very well equipped. Plenty of space for 6 adults and a baby. We loved it despite Storm Darragh visiting us that weekend! The cottage was lovely warm amd cosy. Only comment to make would be that if visitors are bringing a baby you will need to bring a travel cot mattress as the cot avavilbale is not at all suitable or comfy for a little one. We thankfully did bring one. so it was not a problem Both the travel cot and highchair was a littler stained aswell.

  • "Outstanding property in Ambleside with space for all the family!"

    Beautifully renovated and fantastic facilities, would highly recommend. Only a 4 minute walk (downhill) to the centre of the town and lots of fantastic walks on your doorstep.

  • "Enjoyed our stay, beautiful house and in a great location so near to centre which was ideal for my elderly parents."

    We was lucky and had great weather apart from 1 day. Garden is overgrown and needs a tidy up. Ambleside is our favourite location in Cumbria, so many great places to eat and drink, and lots of nice walks from the doorstep with our 10 month black lab

  • "Rydal rock is one of the best we have used over past 25 years or so,very comfortable and furnished to a high standard."

    It's obvious the owners care about people having a pleasant stay. There are a couple of issues however that would give it a 5 star + rating if addressed. Rubbish and recycling instructions are not very clear and because of this there was a lot of waste left in drive as not collected day before we arrived. Feel the housekeeping team should have made sykes aware as not first time it's happened. The council left a leaflet with their rules which when read explained why no collection. Also feel the garden let property down as grass not been cut for a while(harder to clear dog mess up) as well as just making it less attractive to use although we were very lucky with weather and decking was used most evenings.

  • "We had a lovely stay, the house was very comfortable and well furnished."

    The garden could do with a little maintenance and the house appeared clean and tidy upon our arrival. It is very close to the village and there are some lovely walks from the doorstep. We were very lucky with the weather and had a fantastic stay. We would definitely return. Thank you

  • "Garden a bit over grown."

    Issue with rubbish collection (bins collection is a Wednesday and not Thursdays), so bins were full when we arrived. Neighbour was kindly there taking rubbish from garden. French door needs adjusting as difficult to close. Outside light broken too. Overall lovely property, comfortable and spacious.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We take all comments on board, and will pass them onto the relevant teams. We hope to welcome you back again to The Lakes. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

    Minutes away from shops/bars and lovely places to eat. Property is on a hill so maybe difficult for people with mobility issues.

    Only negative was that our dogs were petrified by the low flying aircraft practising their nap of the earth flying.

  • "Noticed the table top broken on arrival and concerned that we are liable for damages."

    Sent photos but no response so rang them. Customer service very hit and miss talking ages to respond. Light out in kitchen, four slice toaster only toasts two. Refuse bins outside should have been emptied but were full so we had to store rubbish in the kitchen until we left. For £900.00 for a three night stay these issues should not have arisen.

    The kitchen was modern, fully equipped and spotlessly clean and the bedrooms all had large cupboards and comfortable beds. Garden very dog friendly. We will be coming back.

    Thank you so much Barbara! We’re glad you enjoyed Rydal Rock and you are very welcome back anytime. It’s amazing that any time of year Ambleside always has surprises to offer. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year 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.
