"We had a wonderful stay at Larch Cottage."
It was quaint & peaceful, just what was needed after a very busy & stressful year. The cottage is spotlessly clean & so welcoming. There is lots of info too about places to go. Absolutely loved the fire & so did Tanky our dog. He loved seeing the cows appear daily too, although I'm not sure the cow's felt the same way. Lovely touch with the bottle of wine too, thank you.
Thankyou for your very kind remarks following your stay in Larch Cottage. I am delighted that you enjoyed your holiday and hope that Might return in the future. With kind regards,Anne Property Owner

"A beautiful cosy cottage with everything you could ask for a comfortable holiday."
The cottage is situated about a mile outside of Hawkshead and there is a lovely walk across the fields to the pubs/ shops there. The kitchen was well equipped. Bedroom again had everything there. Bottle of wine chilling in the fridge. Perfect.

"We had a lovely stay at Larch Cottage."
It was exactly as described and everything was lovely and clean. The cottage had everything we needed and we felt so relaxed and comfortable. Our dog was also happy staying here and there was plenty of space for her to relax. The cottage is in a great location being so close to hawskhead village and Ambleside. Thank you so much, we will definitelybe visiting again.

"3rd year running we've stayed in June/July and facilities are always 1st rate, there's nothing not to like"
Thankyou for your kind words about Larch Cottage, and for visiting three times. It is always very pleasing when guests return, I am so sorry to have been unable to meet you. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"Lovely little cottage."
Good location for Coniston and Ambleside areas. Had everything you could need. Kitchen was very well equipped. Bed was very comfortable. Nice to have the option of a shower or bath. Only negative is that we don't think it's practical to have the dehumidifier running all the time.
Thank you for your review of Larch Cottage, I am very pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Regarding your comments about the dehumidifier I agree with you entirely. I do not expect it to be on permanently, merely during periods of very wet weather to enable faster drying of walking clothes etc. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"A lovely little cottage in a beautiful location."
Very clean and well furnished with a well equipped kitchen. Thank you to the owner for the lovely bottle of wine. In a good area for walking, there is a good bus service on the doorstep, therefore you don’t need to use your car as much. Hopefully we will be back again soon.

"Larch Cottage is in a lovely tranquil location with a truly stunning view out the back into the garden with a stream / waterfall running through the owners side and from the bedroom you can see the hills and little lane ."
It was very tidy and clean . We were a little surprised that there was no welcome pack apart from a bottle of wine in the fridge - a small thing but we would have appreciated some milk , teabags and coffee after a long journey . The other tip we would suggest to the owners would be the addition of a visitors book - there was nothing in the way of recommendations from people for places to visit / best cafes / walks etc Absolutely loved Hawkshead village a couple of miles by road or 1 mile to walk across the fields , Coniston and Grizedale were very accessable . Would recommend this lovely cottage to people that like a peaceful and quiet base
Thank you for your lovely review of Larch Cottage. I am very pleased that you enjoyed both the cottage and the area and hope that you might decide to visit again. The garden is always at its best in May. We removed the visitor book during Covid but we could probably reinstate it now. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"A beautiful, cosy cottage, well furnished and equipped with a really comfortable bed, but not very dog-friendly."
We were grateful that we had taken plenty of throws and towels to protect the carpets and we would have appreciated a room with a hard floor and a door in which to sleep our dog, The bathroom wasn't appropriate as we tend to need to use that during the night. It was, however, very convenient for visiting the south lakes and we had a very enjoyable week.
Thank you for your kind remarks about Larch Cottage. I am sorry it was not completely satisfactory for your dog’s requirements but am pleased you found it comfortable and had an enjoyable week. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in a great location."
Very clean and comfortable. Thank you for the bottle of wine that was waiting for us on our arrival! Only minor criticisms are that the WiFi was very slow, and a spare bin bag would have been handy. Overall though, we really enjoyed our stay at Larch Cottage.
Thank you for reviewing Larch Cottage. I am delighted that you enjoyed the week and hope that you might return in the future. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"We had a great time at Larch cottage."
It was very clean and well presented. And the bed was comfortable. Lovely location. The only downside was, there was no table and chairs outside. We like our morning coffee outside. On the pictures and in the description, table and chairs are seen and mentioned. Not there in reality. This was the only downside. We will be coming back soon though
Thank you for your review of Larch Cottage, I am pleased you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry about the lack of garden furniture while you were in the cottage. We actually have a set for both areas of the garden, but owing to therain and gales we have had, it was all put away in the garage . We do encourage guests to ask if they have additional requirements. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"We had a lovely Christmas break at Larch Cottage, it’s a beautiful cottage and it’s cosy and warm."
The kitchen is very well fitted and all the equipment makes for an easy break away. The gas fire in the lounge is superb. The area is beautiful and there are a lot of walks to do from the cottage. The atmosphere in Hawkshead is lovely and the pubs are friendly. The weather was awful on our break but that’s the Lake District.
Thank you for your kind remarks about Larch Cottage and Hawkshead village. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay despite the truly horrific rain. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"An absolutely superb property which is better than the description!"
Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The cottage is furnished and kept to the highest standards and was a delight to stay at. It is perfectly placed to explore the area and the lovely village of hawkshead was so friendly and welcoming. I really can't recommend this cottage enough we had a fantastic stay and look forward to one day visiting again.

"Having just enjoyed a week in Larch Cottage we found the accommodation and surroundings conducive to a relaxing and enjoyable stay."
The property was well maintained and spotlessly clean whilst being well presented with all requirements needed. As a holiday property for two I feel it more than accommodated our requirements and as such allowed us to fully enjoy our holiday. Nowhere was too far away being centrally positioned between Hawkshead, Coniston, and Ambleside and as such it’s positioning enabled us to have a relaxing holiday without being too distant from shops or restaurants etc. Also, the property was ideally positioned for walking from the cottage whilst leaving the car. We have returned from Larch Cottage fully refreshed and as such I would certainly rebook the accommodation for future holidays in the area and recommend the property to others as I already have done.
Thank you for your kind words about your holiday in Larch Cottage. I always hope that guests enjoy themselves and it is most pleasing when they do. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"We had an enjoyable stay, the cottage was lovely and clean and it felt comfortable as soon as you walked in."
The kitchen was small but had everything we could want and more even an empty cupboard to put our groceries in. The cottage is in a quiet hamlet but so near to the Lakes and Hawkshead just a short drive away. I'm on crutches at this time but we found Miles without Stiles nearby and the National Trust (even though we aren't members) loan out a mobility scooter for a donation if you can. The trail you can use it on is lovely, even on a rainy day it was scenic. We had a small issue with the key lock but after talking to the owner a guy turned up in a few mins to fix it. Thankyou for a quiet peaceful stay in your lovely cottage.
Thank you for your review of Larch Cottage following your two week stay. It was a pleasure to meet you and I am delighted you enjoyed your holiday With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Larch Cottage."
It's beautifully decorated throughout. All home comforts have been thought about with care and the cottage is a very comfortable home from home. There are lovely views from the cottage, which looks over the owners garden with a stream running through the garden. The kitchen is well equipped and the inclusion of dishwasher tablets was greatly appreciated. As has previously been mentioned the bath could have done with a bathmat, not sure if this was just forgotten. The other thing to mention is the dehumidifier that the owner asks to keep running. This isn't mentioned in the description. We had enough data but again the description does not mention that there is a data cap and streaming movies may be difficult. Having said that we had no issues watching Netflix or iPlayer. The location of the cottage is perfect. Good walks in all directions. The garden isn't enclosed so our dog could not be let out on his own, but again that wasn't a problem. None of the above really affected the enjoyment of our holiday and we highly recommend a stay at Larch Cottage. We recharged our batteries and would certainly return and have no hesitation in recommending it as a great place stay when exploring and walking the Lake District.
Thank you for your kind and helpful remarks about Larch Cottage. I am delighted that you enjoyed your holiday and would wish to return. I have purchased a rubber bath mat as you suggest, I do not expect the dehumidifier to be on all the time, merely at times of extreme wet weather when outdoor clothing needs drying. I am not aware of a data cap on the Wi-Fi but will investigate further. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"A lovely well equipped cottage that was perfect for our 5 day stay."
Thank you for your lovely review. I am delighted that you enjoyed your holiday in Larch Cottage. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner
-
"Very clean and very well equipped."
Would have liked a bath mat for safety on getting out of the bath.
Thank you for your review of Larch Cottage, I am glad that you enjoyed your holiday. Please accept my apologies for the lack of a bath mat which we normally provide, but unfortunately, on this occasion it was missed. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"First time at this lovely cottage but hopefully not my last."
Spotlessly clean with pretty furnishings. Dog and I enjoyed the gas stove, particularly after a wet day! Work space a bit limited in the kitchen but still managed. Thank you to the nice lady who came up to adjust the pressure in the new gas CH boiler. Would have appreciated a drying rack which I could stand in the bath for wet walking stuff as didn’t like to drape over the chairs. Look forward to coming again, perhaps next autumn. Many thanks.
Thank you for your kind and helpful review of Larch Cottage, I am pleased my very efficient cleaner was able to help you with the boiler problem and that you enjoyed your holiday despite the very wet weather. I have bought a laundry rack as you suggest and hope that I might see you next year. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"Larch cottage is ideally situated to explore the wonderful countryside around Hawkshead Windemere and Coniston, the property is well maintained and nice and cosy benefiting from central heating with a lovely wood stove effect gas fire."
The cottage also has WiFi which we found very useful for searches and sending pictures home.

"The cottage was well located, thoughtfully equipped and clean."
Unfortunately the Wi-Fi was barely useable and also restricted, this should have been highlighted in the listing. It would also have been nice to have some hand soap in the cottage.
Thank you for your review of Larch Cottage. All feedback is important to me and I am sorry the cottage Wi-Fi did not meet your expectations. It is unfortunate that you did not ask me about it at the time as I could have had it checked. The cottage Is in a very rural location and consequently there is not a telegraph pole to connect a wire too, hence the system I have is the best available. I hope, however, that you enjoyed the other facilities Larch Cottage offers, including the complimentary bottle of wine in the fridge. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"Lovely cottage,well equipped,clean and comfortable."
Nice garden and lots of parking space.The owners live next door and are very helpful. Glorious walks from the doorstep:- Tarn Hows, Grizedale Forrest, Coniston, Hawkshead.Etc: Everything was perfect for a fantastic holiday break. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for your kind remarks. I am delighted you enjoyed your holiday and I enjoyed chatting to you both. I hope you arrived home in reasonable time following the problem with your car. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

"Larch Cottage is just perfect for enjoying the Lake District."
Just far enough out of town to be quiet and still whilst close enough to Hawkshead and Ambleside for outdoor clothing shops and tourist shopping. Little Baptist Church just 2 mins up the lane - so welcoming, can even bring your dog
Thank you for reviewing Larch Cottage. I am delighted that you enjoyed your two week stay and hope that I might see you again in the future. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

We were very happy with our stay and will come again.

"It is a lovely cottage, very cosy and comfortable."
The proximity of the local bus route was a great bonus (able to use my bus pass) as were all the local walks. Every time I return to the Lake District I love it more.

"Larch Cottage is a tiny, beautifully furnished cottage in a cracking spot in Hawkshead."
It is spotlessly clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is an abundance of walks from the door, so we had no need to use the car at all. I would concur with another reviewer that a larger or reclining sofa would make it absolutely perfect. I would definitely recommend it and would visit again.
-
"A lovely cozy little cottage."
Beautifully warm and with a well equipped kitchen for a self catering holiday. My only suggestion would be maybe a larger sofa or an arm chair in the living room to give a bit more relaxing space.
-
"Immaculately clean & very cosy, everything provided."

"Intermitent wifi"

"We stayed for a week with our little Jack Russell Jessica, in September."
The cottage is perfect with beautiful high end furnishings. Everything we could possibly need was provided including a bottle of wine in the fridge which was very welcome after a long drive! The bed was very comfortable and the shower was powerful, exactly what you need after a hard day walking. The kitchen has everything you need. Our dog settled instantly because Larch Cottage has a lovely homely feel. I would definitely recommend to anyone and will hopefully return in the not too distant future.

"Larch Cottage was the perfect holiday retreat - the ideal location, surrounded by classic Lake District countryside with endless opportunities for enjoying the area right on the doorstep."
The cottage has been thoughtfully equipped and furnished, and is extremely comfortable. We would have welcomed having more cutlery in the kitchen - it would have reduced the use we made of the dishwasher during our stay.
-
"A great location."
Great walks
-
"Real gem of a holiday cottage in a great location with walks over the fields to Hawkshead and just down the road from Tarn Hows."
Superb garden and lovely ghyll flowing alongside the cottage. Nice original features in the cottage too. One to go back to. Very nice.

Bed extremely comfortable. Very well run cottage.

"Small cosy cottage situated just outside Hawkeshead but on a bus route so you could leave the car and get a bus to Windermere etc easily."
Very well equipped with Laura Ashley furniture and bedding. Gas fire and central heating which was nice and warm on a cold evening. Nice bottle of wine left in the fridge for us. A great little bolt hole for two.

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.
