“Great place to stay.”

Pretty little private garden, with good facilities in the house. Comfortable bed and lovely bath, perfect after walking. Thanks for the little supplies that made it so we could have a brew and biscuit once settled in.

- Stephanie, May 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely words. Really appreciated. Hope you come again soon! Property Owner

“A lovely property in a great location.”

Exactly what we wanted and more. Beautifully dressed for our arrival with welcome extra touches. Would thoroughly recommend

- Andrew, April 2022

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at buttonhole cottage. Property Owner
Paula April 2022

“Beautiful cottage in an excellent location.”

The only problem is that a spring appears to be broken on the left side of the bed. This led to a very uncomfortable 3 nights sleep for one of us. Apart from that, we had a wonderful time.

- Paula, April 2022

Thanks so much for your feedback. Apologies for the mattress. We have ordered a new premium mattress which is on its way. We do hope you will stay with us again soon! Property Owner

“Had a lovely stay - just marred at the end due to another cottage two doors down that parked their two HUGE cars (a BMW X5 and VW Transporter no less) right opposite on the fence side.”

This essentially meant Buttonhole and the one next door had lost their parking space. As they were sat out, I asked the owner to possibly moved and they literally just ignored me - if you are also the owner of 2 Busk Cottages it might be an idea to clarify where their parking is(?). Other than that the cottage and location was fantastic though.

“Comfortable and well equipped cottage 5minutes from centre of Ambleside.”

“Lovely Cosycottage with many extras.”

In a beautiful location in Ambleside

“The bed was uncomfortable.”

After a day of walking and cycling it was so needed to recover. Otherwise an excellent cottage with many additional gifts which made it special.

- Gillian, October 2021
Paula September 2021

“We had an amazing holiday at button hole cottage.”

It was a fabulous place to stay and all of the little extras were appreciated and used! We regularly stay in the Lake District but for a cottage this was by far our favourite accommodation to date. The owners really have thought of everything and the use of space in this small cottage was excellent. Would recommend to anyone

- Paula, September 2021
Lucy September 2021

“We had a great stay at Buttonhole Cottage.”

Its well situated within Ambleside and its a great base for walks into town and the fells beyond. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay, however the only negative feedback was the mattress topper was too soft in the middle, making it difficult to turn over in the night! We would stay again at Buttonhole, just hopefully with a comfier bed next time!

- Lucy, September 2021

“We both found the bed to be uncomfortable.”

It appears to drop from the centre, either way. The duvet is 15 tog and a little warm for the time of year. This is our only issue because other than that everything else was spot on, with everything else of high specification. This means the cottage feels homely and somewhere you can spend evenings in comfort after long days on the fells. Good spot, minutes away from key amenities, yet distant enough to be peaceful. We would definitely consider staying at Buttonhole Cottage again; sometime soon, hopefully.

The only issue we had was with parking there is not enough parking spaces to allways be able to park your car outside the cottage, as it id positioned on a very narrow lane, an on a few occassions had to scour the nearby streets to find an alternative space, apart from that everything was great

- Paul, July 2021
Stefan July 2021

“Absolutely charming little cottage full of character and nice little decorative touches.”

Comfortable, all the key amenities, well situated near the centre of Ambleside a 5 min walk away. Would stay again!

- Stefan, July 2021
Pam June 2021

“Beautiful and well equipped cottage that we’ve now stayed in 3 times.”

Spotless with little added touches to make it feel like home

- Pam, June 2021
Hazel May 2021

“Lovely cottage to stay in, great location and well equipped and very comfortable especially the bed.”

Only downside there was never enough hot water to fill the bath.

- Hazel, May 2021
Tim May 2021

“Great little property.”

Great location. We had an issue with the bed but the owner was super helpful about fixing it, and even dropped round a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine.

Every corner of this romantic cottage is as pretty as a picture; delicately refurbished with leather furnishings and French-style painted furniture, but retaining the irreplaceable charm of old exposed beams and traditional feature fireplace. Buttonhole Cottage is a perfect retreat for couples; cosy up by the woodburning stove after an exhilarating day on the fells, dine-in in style or by candle light in the delightful patio area. Fall in love with the delightful cottage bedroom and pamper yourselves in the decadent bathroom. Only 3 minutes from the vibrant centre of Ambleside, Buttonhole Cottage is well-placed for any special occasion. Treat yourselves to a meal at the acclaimed Glass House restaurant, or take a romantic evening cruise from Waterhead Pier. You won't want to leave! == Accommodation in detail Entrance directly into the mood-lit lounge, with character beams, wooden floor, Milano leather furniture and woodburning stove. A couple of steps lead to the cottage kitchen and dining area, with Heritage French cream dining furniture and access to the candle-lit enclosed yard. Upstairs to the gorgeous cottage bedroom, with French-style king size bed, smart TV and views to the Lakeland Fells. Separate walk-in wardrobe. Stylish bathroom with luxurious roll top bath and separate shower cubicle. Outside is a rear gravelled patio with a fantastic pizza over and garden furniture. An ideal place to sit and read a book or enjoy a glass of wine with your homemade pizza Location Ambleside is a perfect location for a romantic cottage holiday in the Lake District. Amidst breathtaking scenery and on the shores of Lake Windermere, the vibrant village centre is a foodies delight - there are numerous cafes, high quality delicatessens and a selection of acclaimed Lake District restaurants for that special occasion. Not to mention the cosy traditional Lakeland pubs and lively bars! You'll also find a superb cinema, pizzeria and live jazz bar, Zeffirellis.

For example, follow the A591 road north past tranquil Rydal Water and you'll reach historic Grasmere; this magical village is surrounded by the landscapes that inspired the poet William Wordsworth. Follow the A593 only a short distance to the Langdale Valley (one of the most popular locations for photography in the Lake Ditsrict) then on to picturesque Coniston. For a romantic Sunday drive, head to the Kirkstone Pass road which leads between Windermere and Ullswater.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 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.
