“Conveniently situated cottage in a popular Lakeland town”
Central location on a quiet street with very little passing traffic and very few pedestrians. We were glad of the spare bedroom when either of us was restless. The lounge-diner was light and spacious. There was an iron although this wasn’t listed.

Cosy. Heating worked well. Handy for shops, parking for one car very useful. Quiet location despite being in centre, on a nice quiet back street. Washing machine useful. Over all very pleased with our stay .

“We really enjoyed our stay in Ambleside but the cottage was a mixed bag.”
The location is first-rate. The lounge has a wonderful, traditional feel. Perfect parking immediately outside the front door. The central heating and hot water were instantly available.
