• "We have been visiting the lakes for over 30 years and found bank foot to be high ..."

  We have been visiting the lakes for over 30 years and found bank foot to be high up on our cottage list in comfort and cleanliness with great little garden to sit out in, one small point a small step leading out into the garden would help but this is for someone in there late 70s and a member of the dodgy knee brigade but this should not hinder you youngsters who visit bank foot haha

• "Perfect in every way."

  Thank you for the milk and Prosecco! Yes, the garage is on the small side but free road side parking is available with patience and a bit of luck. Have already booked a return visit.

• "This was our first time at Bank Foot and we loved every moment."

  The lounge is the star. Comfortable and bright, with a lovely outlook through the french doors to the delightful garden. Unlike many holiday rental properties, Bank Foot has a excellent television - really that should be standard everywhere. The DVD player wasn't working unfortunately. Hopefully that is now sorted

  It was a weight off our minds, not having to worry about parking. Our car, a Honda Civic, fitted into the garage comfortably. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. The welcome goodies of wine and chocs were much appreciated.

• "Superb cottage in great location."

  Our 5th stay and our experience seems to improve each time. The only relatively small thing that impacted on our holiday was that the Gardeners arrived outside the patio doors just after 8am and worked for about 45 minutes which was a little intrusive. I appreciate the difficulties in arranging allotted times but wonder if it is possible to be forewarned of particular day, a.m. or p.m. for example?

  We cannot find any faults , the cottage is magnificent every you need is in the cottage. We parked the car in the garage on arrival and took it out when we were going home, lots of great walks , amazing restaurants, boat to Windermere, my wife didn't spend that much in Hayes garden center, so the best visit ever. Can't wait for October. . Jane & Ian Smith.(Edinburgh).

  We have been regular customers of not only this cottage in recent years but many other Heart of The Lakes cottages around the Lake District for 20 years! Our only concern is the recent huge increase in fees these last two years which may prompt us to look elsewhere.

  We returned home today and twice during the week I emailed heart of the lakes. Big stain on carpet. Bathroom door has big dent in, cobwebs in window behind cupboard in hall and the dining room chairs were thick with dust. Quite disappointed and sadly will not be returning again

• "The design, construction, comfort, decor, equipment and facilities of Bank Foot are excellent and the location is so convenient."

  The garden was a delight and we were visited by over a dozen different species of birds, as well as the roe deer mentioned in the visitors book. The deer arrived on the evening of Easter Sunday and actually settled down for the night behind the pond! I have a photo of the deer should the owners like a copy. All in all, a wonderful week ~ even the weather was marvellous. Many thanks.

  Thank you for your kind comments. I am happy that you enjoyed your stay at Bank Foot and the wildlife in the garden in particular. The deer is rather partial to some of the garden plants but provides so much joy that I don’t mind at all. Property Owner

  Its the little finishing touches to the property that you have had to remove because of covid. But will be back again, as we have many times, an excellent base for exploring that area of the lake district..

• "Stayed in Bank Foot on 3 occasions and love the cottage, location and the fact that we can leave the car in the garage."

  Although we reported on our first day the lounge blind sticking in a low position prohibiting light from entering the room, nothing was done about it. I also E-Mailed your Housekeeping Manager about the problem but did nt get a response. The fact that the price of a weeks stay at Bank Foot next August has increased by over £200 we will not be returning. I also expect nothing to be done about this feedback.

  It had absolutely everything you could need & the garden was so perfect to sit out in the evening & have dinner. Location is great - just a 5 minute walk into Ambleside & 5 minutes to Lake Windemere. There are so many walks you can do from Bank Foot which made it so easy especially as it was quite busy in the car parks. Thank you so much & we can't wait to come back!

• "Please could something be done with the garage / parking."

  I damaged my car getting it in the garage as there are no low height warning signs. Best option would be to take it down and just have as a parking space.

  The prices of all the cottages have gone up a lot more than just general inflation why.

• "We think the explanation of the garage limitations should be made clearer."

  Luckily we managed to fit a VW Golf in the garage, but if we had brought the Golf Estate it would definitely not have fitted in as the extra lump of concrete on the back wall protrudes into the garage space but there is room underneath just about to fit in part of the front of the car. Otherwise everything was good including the lovely gesture of leaving us some chocolates upon arrival. Lovely large towel were appreciated.

• "The location of the cottage was great, an easy walk into the centre of Ambleside."

  The cottage had everything we required and the garden area was a bonus especially with the wonderful weather we had. The only issue could be the parking as the garage is compact and with a tight shared access with two other properties on a slope it was tricky to say the least however it didn't spoil our stay. Overall a great cottage and a fantastic break
