"Hill Cottage is perfectly located just above the village with lovely views and an excellent sun terrace."
The cottage owners have put much thought into making their guests feel very comfortable and have an enjoyable stay right from the moment you go through the inviting scarlet front door!

"This was our second time staying at the property."
It is in such a nice location. It is in a quiet spot but only a short walk to the center of Ambleside. You can also start walks right from your doorstep. The property has great bathrooms, comfortable beds and a great front patio where you can enjoy the mountain views. It simply has everything you need to enjoy your time in the Lakes.

"The only reason it wasn’t 5 stars across the board was that when we arrived, there was an overly strong smell of cleaning products, which wouldn’t affect most people but my wife has allergies and her eyes are sensitive so she needed her anti histermine, as it affected her eyes."
We opened windows and gave a good airing and where then fine. Just thought worth mentioning to you. Overall, a superb cottage, great facilities and very handy to walk into Ambleside.
Thanks for the feedback, we will take a look at and hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner

"This is the third time we have stayed at Hill Cottage and very much hope to do again in the future."
It was immaculate and all of the extra touches make it so homely and comfortable. It is very deserving of the 5 stars.
Hello there, thank you very much for coming back to stay at Hill Cottage again and for also taking the time to share your feedback. We hope to be able to welcome you back again soon.. Property Owner

"Hill cottage is a wonderful retreat, particularly for city dwellers and is amongst the best of the many cottages we have stayed at in the past."
We had a most enjoyable week away and appreciated the use of the facilities this cottage offered which were a very good quality. For those who do not know the lakes well Ambleside is a very convenient place from which to visit the many attractions available and take long walks. The information about the cottage was generally accurate but I would advise those who are not particularly fit or elderly as I am the hill is indeed, very steep and would present a challenge to walk up, but not necessarily down. The heating system did present one or two challenges for us and having the focal point of the sitting room as a lovely fireplace it would have been nice to have had some sort of fire in it. Nevertheless I would recommend Hill Cottage for those looking for a home from home place to stay.
Thank you for your feedback, we will take a look at the heating instructions when we are next at the house and hope to be able to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

"Lovely to be back at Hill Cottage again…immaculately clean, comfortable, quirky, thoughtful and in a perfect location for visiting Ambleside and walking right from the door."
We really appreciated the credit at Rattle Ghyll and can recommend the scones!

Clean, comfortable, good location and everything you need provided in abundance.

"The cottage is fantastic."
It is comfortable, nicely furnished and decorated, well maintained, and well resourced, particularly the kitchen. We would have no hesitation in recommending it to others. A few minor improvements to suggest are that the hot water could do with being hotter. For example, when using the en-suite shower over the bath the temperature is not quite hot enough. The lightbulbs in the lounge / diner (ceiling and floor lights) could do with replacing with warm-white as the current white lights are too harsh, make the room feel 'un-cosy' and can't be dimmed without flickering. The final suggestion is to consider removing some of the cushions from both the sofas and beds as there are too many to be comfortable. We piled them up on the spare bed for the week.
Thank you for the feedback, we glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon ( we will take a look at the different topics you raised when we are next at the house, thank you ). Property Owner

"Fabulous place to stay."
It had everything we needed as a family of 4. Central so not far to walk into Ambleside and parking space was a bonus. Would definitely return.

"Very comfortable and well equipped house in an ideal location above Ambleside."
The beds and furnishings were of a high standard and comfortable. The credit at the local deli was a nice surprise and better than any made up hamper, thank you!! From a maintenance point of view, the outer front red door is sticking and difficult to open and close. Also the downstairs loo flush sometimes sticks and continues to fill. These small things did not detract from a wonderful weekend away. We would definitely consider coming back again in the future.
Thank you very much for your feedback and for letting us know about the maintenance topics - we will ask maintenance team to take care of. We hope to see you again soon. All the best. Property Owner

"Fabulous cottage, good central location, close to the town centre and short walk to the lakeshore."
The owners had taken the time to leave a welcome Xmas card and gifts of some delicious goodies which was really appreciated on our arrival. There were also some great Xmas decorations up to add to the Christmas feel. Very comfortable, cozy and homely cottage, spacious lounge with plenty of comfy seating, with a good dining space, and some books, dvds and games which came in useful with a week of rain. Nice little conservatory but far too cold to sit in at this time of year. Well equip kitchen, we brought allsorts to cook Xmas Dinner but it wasn't needed as the kitchen had everything you could need. Nice bedrooms, really comfortable beds and bonus having an ensuite, making plenty of bathrooms and toilets in the property, which is always handy. We stay in Ambleside every year and would definitely return to this cottage in the future.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share this review, it’s very kind of you. We look forward to seeing you again soon. All the best. Property Owner

"I had a really wonderful stay in Hill Cottage."
You immediately feel at home here. The location is perfect, just a short walk into town but still so quiet and peaceful (you can hear the occasional owl at night). It’s so easy to get the train from London and then a bus from Windermere - the journey was seamless and so quick. No need to come with a car, especially because you can walk straight out onto the mountains from the cottage, or get a bus to Coniston or the Langdales. Hill Cottage is wonderfully warm and comfortable and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The beds are ridiculously comfortable with good quality linen, and the modern bathrooms are spotlessly clean with an amazing power shower (and also a bath) - perfect after a day walking in the mountains. It is tastefully furnished and I loved the thoughtful design, especially the cows! Ambleside is such a great place to base yourself in the Lake District, with inspiring walks and lots of great pubs and restaurants, and I can’t wait to visit Hill Cottage again - it’s like home-from-home. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

"Hill Cottage is a delightful home from home with much thought and attention given to the comfort of the guests."
The cottage also has a lovely sun terrace with views overlooking the village.
-
"Lovely property, clean and had everything we needed."
Close enough to stroll into Ambleside town or Waterhead or but far enough out to feel peaceful. We enjoyed sitting out the front on sunny days. The only negative for us was that the bed in the master room was hard and uncomfortable, We hope the owners will change this as we would love to stay again. We discovered a great new cafe with beautiful views near Stock Ghyll Force waterfall which is worth the 15 minute uphill walk from the property.

"This is our second stay at Hill Cottage and we will definitely be back."
The cottage is really comfortable, nicely furnished, and well equipped. Despite the other guest reviews we find all the mattresses to be really comfortable :-) Our only, very minor, issue was the drippy guttering above the bedroom window which kept us awake when it had rained (which it did quite a lot of in the night - but no surprises for the Lakes!). If you are a light sleeper and like to sleep with an open window you might want to pack some ear plugs Its a really lovely cottage and one of our favourite holiday stays.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback and for coming back to stay. We are very sorry to hear about the dripping gutter and will get that fixed ASAP, thank you for letting us know about it. We hope to see you again soon. All the best. Property Owner

"Gorgeous property and really well maintained - great location also and a real home-from-home."
It's clear the owners have really thought about the small details. To counter the other reviews on the hard mattress - yes it's hard but totally fine for us.
Thank you very much for the feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

"This was our 2nd stay at Hill Cottage because we enjoyed ourselves so much the previous year."
This stay we weren’t so well blessed with the weather but when you do have dry bright evenings, being able to sit on the front terrace with views over the Lakes is a fab way to end the day. Having parking outside the property is a big plus as Ambleside is only a short 5 min walk away. It’s a great location to numerous walks of you didn’t want to use the car. The credit gift for a local deli was a wonderful surprise so thank you very much to the owner for such a generous gift! The cottage has been done to a high standard & we would definitely love to return. Thank you for a wonderful stay
Thank you very much for your feedback and for choosing to come back and stay at Hill Cottage. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and we will keep our fingers crossed for some extra sunshine for you next time. We hope to be able to welcome you back again soon. All the best. Property Owner

"We had a very enjoyable week at Hill Cottage."
We found the cottage extremely clean with everything that you would want. The view from the patio is lovely, very convenient for all Ambleside has to offer but away from the noise of the town. The only thing that could be improved is the bed in the main bedroom. It is very hard and uncomfortable. The owners have put a mattress topper on the bed but unfortunately this hasn’t eased the problem. We got round this and added extra duvets under the sheet, which helped a bit. I notice that other visitors have also pointed this out. Shame because I would have awarded 5 stars but for this. Having said that we would stay again.
Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry you found the mattress a bit firm and will take a look at that when we are next at the house. We hope that we are able to welcome you back again soon. All the best. Property Owner

"This property was delightful and had absolutely everything you needed."
It’s in a wonderful location with a very short walk into Ambleside. Great to have the parking space. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or come back again. My only gripe, as mentioned by another reviewer, is that the mattress on the main bed is exceptionally hard (it needs a mattress topper or replacing!). My husband likes a firm mattress but this was even too much for him - I ended up with a stiff neck even though the pillows were comfortable. Apart from that I would rate it well above the normal standard of accommodation.
Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry you found the mattress a bit firm and will take a look at that when we are next at the house. All the best. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in a tranquil setting."
Very well equipped with clear instructions for use of the facilities. Only slight gripe was that toilet roll and towel missing from downstairs toilet - probably an oversight
Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry about the oversight with the loo roll and hope to be able to welcome you back again soon. All the best. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

"Beautifully maintained property in a good setting although steps up to it came as a surprise."
Facilities and fittings met all our needs. Short walk to choice of eateries in the centre added to convenience. This will be our choice if we return to Ambleside in future.

"We have been visiting Ambleside for many years in cottages and apartments and Hill Cottage is up there with the best."
It was spotlessly clean, well equipped, beautifully furnished and well maintained. The patio area with wonderful views was lovely for evening drinks and, a real bonus, a space for parking too. Ideally placed for a short walk into Ambleside or Wateredge for food, drink and ferries. We will book again without hesitation. Thank you to the owners for providing a lovely holiday accommodation

"Lovely cottage in the heart of Ambleside."

"Property owner."
This was our second stay at the cottage and were delighted that it lived up to our fond memories. A lot of thought and care has been given to make it a wonderful place to stay. The gift, from the owners, of a voucher to spend in the local delicatessen was so thoughtful and much appreciated. We had some wonderful walks from the doorstep, and it is worth noting that the walk up the hill from the town is a good way to burn up a few calories. The off street parking is definitely a bonus and the only time we took the car out was to travel to Keswick to park up and walk the wonderful Railway Path to Threlkeld and to visit our favourite pub, The Horse and Farrier. This cottage will be our first choice to stay when planning visits to the Lakes in the future
Thank you for the very lovely feedback. It’s a pleasure to welcome you back to Hill Cottage once again and we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. All the very best.” Property Owner

"A gorgeous holiday home that has been fitted out to the highest standard."
Owners generously give a voucher for one of excellent delis in Ambleside. The clue to accessibility is in the name-HILL cottage and it was fine for us but maybe not for some doing climb back up with bags, children etc! Think this does need mentioning in description.

"We’ve had a wonderful stay at Hill Cottage."
The cottage had everything we needed and we made the most of the good weather out on the terrace with the beautiful views. The house was so comfortable, very well equipped and walking distance from the centre of Ambleside and Waterfront. We really enjoyed our stay, as did our children and we hope to return soon.

"We were extremely impressed with Hill Cottage & having stayed in cottages in Ambleside before think this was the best we have stayed in to date."
The cottage was fitted out to a standard. At the end of the day it was great to have the option of sitting outside on the terrace with spectacular views. Parking in front of the cottage was also a welcome bonus. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would definitely revisit.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, it’s very much appreciated. We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your stay, and the beautiful views from the terrace outside. We hope to welcome you back to Hill Cottage again in the future. All the best. Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at Hill Cottage."
It’s very comfortable and well equipped with a great deal of thought put into furnishing and equipping the house - it felt very much like we were staying in someone’s home, not just a rental. It’s very much a home from home. We stayed with a 5 and 1 year old (we had no issue with our own travel cot fitting in either of the bedrooms) so the smart tv with access to Netflix, prime, iPlayer etc was appreciated, along with the plumed in water/ice dispenser on hot days. Walking proximity to Ambleside, yet far enough out to be away from the hustle and bustle. We also discovered a fantastic play park behind the church, next to the primary school. We already plan to return next year to this lovely, thoughtfully appointed home from home.
Thank you for this very kind feedback, we are delighted that you enjoyed the cottage and we hope to see you back again soon. All the best. Property Owner

"The house was spacious, modern and had everything we needed."
It was spottlessly clean and was in a perfect location to access ambleside centre. We found the mattresses quite hard, but appreciate this is personal preference. It was great having a shed to store my husband and daughter's bikes; a more robust shed with a lock on the door would have been great. It was a lovely welcome to receive the voucher for the deli, thank you.

"Had a lovely stay at Hill Cottage."
Very relaxing and in a great spot to enjoy views and local area. Despite it being February we sat out on the balcony enjoying the view of the mountains. Couldn’t fault the home and the quality fixtures. Also very clean and kitchen very well equipped. Beds very comfortable and good quality. Easy stroll into Ambleside where there is a great selection of top quality restaurants, pubs and shops. Lakelovers were exceptionally quick to respond to the heating issue having contacted the helpline, arrived at property within 2 hours (great seen as they must have been busy given the storms that swept across the country) Thanks also to the owners for sorting the heating issue out so quickly and the gift at the deli. Enjoyed a nice selection of fresh items, delicious! A really comfortable and cosy stay. One of the nicest properties we have stayed in. We would definitely return and recommend a stay here to others.
Thank you for the feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your time at the house and the February weather was OK for you to sit out on the terrace. Apologies for the glitch with the heating system, we will get it checked over again and hope to be able to welcome you back again soon. All the best. Property Owner

"All fine, but unfortunately there was an absence of communication when we contacted Lakelovers about a couple of issues."
We asked for new sheets/towels for our second week twice, before and during the holiday and thank you for providing these, but it would have been good to know that it was going to happen rather than leaving us in limbo (no phone call as promised or e-mail). I also spoke to Lakelovers about a lack of basic washing up materials (sponge, washing up liquid, clean cloth, dish washer tablets) in the kitchen, but this problem was ignored. These had all been there in the same property the previous year, so we were rather caught out by them being missing. Nothing major and we coped fine, but the lack of communication was a shame. Apart from that, loved the cottage, location, facilities, cleanliness.

"We were very happy with the cottage and the location."
My issue was with Lakelovers. I booked 2 weeks and informed the company that I was bringing different family members in each week ( the holiday weeks were a gift ) and therefore requested a change of linen and towels after the first week. I was assured this would happen. I duly stripped the beds on the Saturday morning after the first week only to return on Sunday with my other family members to find the cottage as I left it. After making up the beds with the dirty linen I contacted Lakelovers ( fortunately their office was close by) on Monday and had fresh linen delivered which I used to make up the beds AGAIN. I understand that mistakes happen but surely a stay of a fortnight would have ordinarily generated a change of towels and bedding halfway through anyway , especially since there were no drying facilities for that amount of linen etc? The bin in the downstairs toilet hadn’t been emptied and was full of dirty tissues. Mrs C Airley
Good Afternoon Mr and Mrs Airley, Thank you for your recent feedback regarding Hill Cottage, we are glad to hear you enjoyed the cottage however disappointed to hear your comments regarding the linen and your new view on Lakelovers. When COVID started we lost a lot of housekeepers and when we re-opened our properties last year many housekeepers did not and still do not feel comfortable going into a property when guests are still in residence. Therefore, we stopped mid-week cleans due to this reason plus many other guests also felt the same and did not want to be intruded. Unfortunately, I can find no request for the mid-week linen change on our system or from our Housekeeping team. Had we received such request we would have made sure at least a linen and towel change drop was arranged. I am not sure if it was a miss communication your side or our side or an error but our Housekeeping team did not get such request and therefore this is the reason no linen was dropped off. We are otherwise glad this could be resolved with fresh linen on the Monday morning, but we are sorry for the inconvenience. Kind Regards, Lakelovers Property Owner

Where you’ll be staying
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.
