“Church View is situated in a convenient position and is only a few minutes walk into the centre of Ambleside.”

It has a private parking bay which is extremely useful. The accommodation is very clean and, altough compact has everything one needs. It has a good shower however, the only negative I can say is that the mattress tends to slope on both sides and one feels as if they are falling out of bed; which unfortunately resulted in a few sleepless nights. All in all, a great cottage and ideally situated to enjoy the outdoors.

“Stayed before- again another comfortable stay.”

Only comment would be an outside light on the back sliding door for when packing up (especially in the winter months when your trying to pack up the car to leave once the clocks change and it’s dark by 4.30pm)

- Pauline, November 2024
Peter September 2024

“A very comfortable and well appointed cottage.”

It is on a fairly busy road but you really don't notice any noise when inside. It is very convenient for the town which has excellent pubs and restaurants etc. The adjacent parking is a big advantage. We would certainly recommend this cottage and we would very much like to return ourselves one day.

- Peter, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback..........we aim to please and seems like we got it right! Glad you enjoyed your stay....... Property Owner
Paula August 2024

“Well designed and equipped.”

Traffic noise was not noticed as we had thought it might be disturbing. Car parking was a great bonus. Walk in shower might have been preferable to over bath. We enjoyed our stay and it was local to everything. Would choose to stay again if health probs permit.

- Paula, August 2024

Thanks for your feed back.............glad you had a good visit to our cottage. Property Owner
Jean June 2024

“Only reasons I have not given 5 stars are the north-facing, overlooked patio area and the traffic noise, neither of which you can do anything about, but it does mean I won't stay here again.”

Inside is lovely though and I did enjoy my stay.

- Jean, June 2024

We acknowledge positive feed back but we cannot do anything about the position of the cottage. We have a parking space and small patio which some cottages do not have. We are happy you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

Wendy March 2024

“Another excellent stay at Church View.”

Cosy cottage with all the facilities we needed for a very enjoyable stay. Stunning views from the bedroom, particularly with the snow on the hilltops. Perfect location for walking in the area and within a 2 minute walk of the centre of Ambleside. Onsite parking is a real bonus. We will be back again.

- Wendy, March 2024

Thank you for your feedback.........when our guests are happy...... we are happy too. Glad you enjoyed your stay and The Lakes Property Owner
John August 2023

“Very cosy little cottage.”

The bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever had. Right in the heart of Ambleside is a big plus. The TV was very basic and could do with a Freeview box being added. Also like most rentals the quilt was very heavy, about 13.5 Tog, too hot for us. On the whole a lovely property.

- John, August 2023

Tv is new..........but basic as we have a DVD and films. the quilt as far as I know is 10.5. The cottage is quite warm.............the bed is a favourite with many of our guests. Glad you enjoyed your stay........ Property Owner
Terence June 2023

“Churchview, Ambleside ---excellent accommodation Ideally located just a short walk to shops, restaurants and pubs.”

Still within easy flat walking distance the garden centre with much more than plants on offer and of course Lake Windermere itself.

- Terence, June 2023

We are so glad our guests have a good stay in Church View and took advantage of the areas beauty..............thank you so much for your feedback. Property Owner

Amanda March 2023

“Had a fantastic stay at church cottage.”

The location is great with only a five minute walk into Ambleside with its abundance of shops, bars and restaurants. Property was easy to access with its own car parking spot next to the cottage itself. As with other reviews tv was a bit squelchy at times but tolerable and the WiFi was great and handled the streaming of TV shows very well. Was asked to put the bin/recycling out but the information folder says this happens every two weeks and so asked the owner if it was to be put out the week of our stay. The owner came back but was unsure and so after investigating on the Internet we found that recycling was collected 1 week then general waste the week after. The site offered a printable calendar showing the collections for the property which I would recommend the owner to add to the information file for the cottage. All in all we had a great stay and would visit and recommend the property

- Amanda, March 2023

Edward September 2022

“Smashing cottage with everything you need for a comfy week's holiday.”

Great location for lots of walks, the ferry's from Waterhead and local supermarkets, pubs and eating places. We liked Church View very much indeed. Good car parking space and lovely view to the mountains from the bedroom window. Property manager Lesley is very helpful and keeps in contact via email and text to ensure everything is ok with the property. Thank you.

- Edward, September 2022

It is so comforting to know our work and our service staff do the best to maintain our cottage to a high standard and ensure our guests have an enjoyable time in the Lakes and feel our cottage is welcoming on returning after a long day......... Thank you for your honest feedback. Property Owner
Alyson August 2022

“The property suited us perfectly; Really comfotable and clean and in an extremely handy situation with the added bonus of a parking space.”

The owners had left comprehensive information and also kindly checked that we were happily settled in. Really enjoyed our stay.

- Alyson, August 2022

Glad you had a good time in the Lakes and our cottage. When our guests are happy .........we are happy.Thank you for a lovely feedback Property Owner
Barbara June 2022

“Very well equipped, conveniently situated for shops, cafes, buses, etc.”

A little bit small for spending too much time there, very limited outside space. Certainly nothing to complain about generally and good to have parking.

- Barbara, June 2022
Kenneth June 2022

“Great stay.”

Very happy. Minor point is the TV reception, often the TV gives a loud pop (like a gunshot). Poss could be remedied by fitting Internet TV as the Broadband wS super. Would recommend to others.

- Kenneth, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback and comments...........Cumbria is noted for poor connections this has never happened before but thanks for bringing it to our attention, we have tried everything but we will try to solve the problem. Very happy you had an enjoyable stay. Property Owner
Phil March 2022

“Out of all the accommodation we have had over the years in Amblesidethis has to be one of the best.”

The location with parking right next to the cottage is a massive bonus. Often you look at the pictures of the accommodation and it all looks perfect, until you arrive and sit on the furniture, only to find they are uncomfortable, or the seating has sagged. Not at Church View, the seating was very comfortable as was the bed. Everywhere was spotlessly clean with plenty of plates mugs etc. It was a nice touch when we received a text to say the cottage was ready for occupancy well before 3 p.m., which meant we could go straight to the cottage without having to park up somewhere to wait until 3 p.m. A great cottage with a great location, highly recommended.

- Phil, March 2022

We renew and update our cottage regularly just installed new kitchen and all appliances.Thank you for your kind comments it is nice to be appreciated our guests are our main concern and we are glad when you enjoy your stay in The Lakes and Church View Cottage. We try our best................ Property Owner

John September 2021

“Good position easy walk into Ambleside well equipped.”

Only downside was easy chair which was uncomfortable

- John, September 2021
David July 2021

“Unfortunately after 5 days we had to leave due to illness.”

Still trying, at the owner's suggestion, to achieve a refund for the last two days with Sykes - they have as yet not reponded to this request.

- David, July 2021
Molly July 2021

“Lovely cottage, exactly as described.”

Booking was easy and Sykes contacted us with all relevant details.

- Molly, July 2021
Michael July 2021

“A great place to say in the lakes, Ambleside is a great location”

- Michael, July 2021
Kelly July 2021

“The cottage was unfortunately filthy when we arrived.”

We spent almost 3 hours cleaning before we could even bring ourselves to unpack. We in fact left one day before we were due to as we just couldn't settle/feel comfortable in the cottage. Not only were there still crumbs on the worktops, jam stuck to the toaster, tea stains and human hair stuck on the front of the washing machine, a dirty sink/draining board and grime in the cupboard under the sink in the kitchen, the floor and the rug were full of dust and human hairs in the living room. In the bathroom, the shower head/fixtures had not been cleaned properly in a long time and nor had the tiled floor. The bedroom wardrobe had not been wiped out inside and the skirting boards throughout revealed that the cottage had not had a spring clean in a very long time. Thankfully, the bathroom towels and bedding seemed clean otherwise we would have had to abandon our trip completely. The fact we are still living with COVID makes these conditions even more unacceptable than under normal circumstances. Also, there were far too many unnecessary soft furnishings - throws, rugs and cushions throughout that we had to hide away while we were there given the germs they would be harbouring. They look fairly old and tired at any rate. A previous guest had even written in the little information pack in the cottage that they had found nail clippings in the large red rug in the living room!! So clearly we are not the only guests to have had a disappointing stay. It is a shame as the location of the cottage is great in Ambleside and the fact it has its own parking space is a real bonus in such a busy town. The owner also refused to accept my feedback which I delivered respectfully on the day we left (one day early). This has put us off booking a cottage through Sykes again in the future, sadly.

- Kelly, July 2021

In response to your feedback and regarding your comments on the cleanliness of the cottage I as manager cleaned the cottage myself on day of your arrival . We adhere to Sykes rules and regulation to the letter and always have done so. Our record is continually in the high nineties and one hundred percent with cleaning and have many guests who return regularly. We are always on hand for any problems and we would have gone to the cottage to sort out any problems immediately if we had been informed. Over the past 18 months, due to COVID we are very meticulous with our cleaning and are very proud of our cottage and record with Sykes. Property Owner

“In an ideal spot in Ambleside, Church View was comfortable and had everything I needed.”

Having its own parking space was a benefit!

- Selena, May 2021
Carol September 2020

“The cottage was lovely and cosy just right for two people for a weeks holiday.”

The off road parking was a very good. We did not use our car all week. The bus stops to different parts of the Lake District is a small walk away from the cottage. If you need to eat out there are a lot of very nice restaurant close by. I book the restaurants we used before we arrived to be on the safe side with all the restitutions there are now. Everything we needed to cook with was supplied in the cottage. The weather was not very kind to us but this did not stop us from going out every day visiting different places and enjoying walking in the rain too. Will be back. Mrs Smith

- Carol, September 2020
Janet August 2020

Church View has all the equipment and home comforts you need for a great stay in the Lakes. Highly recommend.

- Wendy, February 2020
Margaret January 2020

“Beautifully presented cottage in superb location.”

A short level 5 min walk into town. All facilities you could want are provided and the car parking spot invaluable. Particularly impressed with the central heating and hot water system. V easy to regulate and the cottage warmed v quickly after a day out. Comfy bed, well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge area. Bathroom has superb shower over the bath and the welcome treats in the bathroom and kitchen were a lovely touch. We shall definitely return.

- Margaret, January 2020
Stephen December 2019

- Stephen, December 2019
M December 2019

“Another lovely week in Ambleside made special by staying at this lovely terraced cottage.”

It was so convenient to either take a 6 or 7 minute walk into the town or walk the other way to the lake in a similar time. Well furnished with dishwasher and washing machine and beautifully decorated and sparkling clean. We will return. Thank you.

- M, December 2019
Phillip November 2019

“Good central location and spotlessly clean, near a busy road but road noise ...”

Good central location and spotlessly clean, near a busy road but road noise minimal due to building design, altogether a nice place (needs a new sofa though)

- Phillip, November 2019
Trevor September 2019

“No.”

- Trevor, September 2019
David September 2019

“A clever photographer has made the property look bigger than it actually is.”

Entrance to the property is from the pavement adjacent to the busy A591, quiet inside though. Bed very comfy, best sleep we’ve had for years

“Great cottage, great week .”

.... even the weather was on our side. Liked it so much were thinking of staying again next year.

- Ian, June 2019
Sharon June 2019

“A beautiful, clean and cosy cottage.”

A nice size for 2 people, and you have a parking space next to the cottage. There's a nice little area to sit out on an evening, with all glass of wine, looking up at the need gorgeous greenery around you. Only 15 minute walk from Waters Edge at Windermere where you can go on cruises around the lake. A 2 minute stroll and you're at all the fine eateries and pubs. Have a wonder around all the side streets to find all Ambleside has to offer, quite a few hidden gems. A great place to stay.

- Sharon, June 2019
Leslie May 2019

“The cottage is exactly as described in the advert.”

What more could a visitor want. One big plus point. It is only two minutes walk from Church View to bus stop, with regular services to most parts of the Lakes. So we did not use the car all week. A result.

- Leslie, May 2019
Dorothy April 2019

“Lovely cottage in a prime location with the added bonus of a parking space.”

Very clean and everything you need in the kitchen. Great comfy bed, nice bathroom with a very good shower and a super funky tap !! We really enjoyed our week.

- Dorothy, April 2019
Charles March 2019

“Two points we would make to make useful improvements: 1.”

We found it hard to read in bed as the bedside lamps were so dim; 2. The instruction book could helpfully explain that if there is no sound on Sky or DVD player it is because the scart plugs are not sufficiently firmly pushed home. We appreciated the welcoming gifts. See also our appreciative comments in visitors' book. Many thanks. CPN

- Charles, March 2019
Wendy February 2019

“Excellent location.”

Very cosy and comfortable cottage, with great facilities. Did not need to move the car all week, so much to do within walking distance if you like the outdoors.

- Wendy, February 2019
Neil January 2019

“Perfect location for town, pubs, restaurants, the lake and many walks.”

Cottage was clean and warm with a lovely welcome pack. We will book again

“Great location and as always a lovely cottage to stay in.”

- Martin, December 2018
M December 2018

“We really enjoyed our week at this lovely cottage.”

Its location is perfect with just a five or six minute walk into the town. It can't be under-estimated how important the car parking space is in this bustling town where car parking charges are high. The cottage itself was really clean and beautifully decorated. We were impressed with the layout and and how everything seemed to have been thought of. We would recommend this cottage to anyone and are really looking forward to returning when time permits. There was nothing that could have been improved. Many thanks to all concerned.

- M, December 2018
Jennifer November 2018

“The Cottage was clean and well equipped.”

A Welcome Basket left for us was a nice touch. Although located close to road it was a quiet environment. Also a bonus to have own parking space next to Cottage. We were made aware we could contact Manager if we had any problems which we did not require. We had a lovely stay with walks from the door in all directions and a warm comfy Cottage to return to. We look forward to a return visit.

- Jennifer, November 2018
Glen October 2018

“We've been with Sykes a number of times & most of the time the properties have been fine.”

Church View cottage was certainly not 4 ticks, parts of it didn't look as though it had been cleaned fully, it had a musty smell when we went in which we couldn't completely get rid of by opening doors & windows wide. The upstairs was ok, the bed was comfy, but downstairs the settee was very uncomfortable & the chairs to the breakfast bar were difficult to sit on. Found the living room extremely small & dull, no warmth in it at all. Compared to other cottages we have stayed in with Sykes, we found this one to be of poor standard & not meeting our expectations of a 4 tick property. Proximity to Ambleside town was good for walking, evening meals & entertainment.

- Glen, October 2018

Thank you for your comments and I am sorry that you were not fully satisfied with your stay. We take great pride in our property and feel that this has always been reflected in our very good feedback. We have not had any reports of the sofa or chairs being uncomfortable before but appreciate that this is subjective. We do believe that the pictures and description are a true reflection of the property and have always had very high cleanliness standards. We will ensure that this is checked and maintained to ensure that our guests continue to enjoy Church View. Property Owner
M C September 2018

“Good cottage, well situated for all amenities and the town center , also nearer to the lake about a 10-15 minute walk, we really enjoyed this cottage holiday and the owner texted messaged to say we could arrive early which was a big bonus.”

Parking for one small car off road is also a big bonus. we would definitely recommend to friends and family.

- M C, September 2018
Pauline August 2018

“We loved our stay in Church View cottage, it was clean, comfortable and had everything you could possibly need for your stay.”

Just a few minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside to shops, cafes pubs etc. A walk up to the waterfall is a must. Would definitely stay here again.

- Pauline, August 2018

- A, July 2018
Norman June 2018

“The cottage is on a busy one way street so care must be taken when parking and reversing from the space provided.”

The parking space is small and parking a large car would be very difficult. The bedroom is at the rear of the cottage so traffic noise is not a problem at night. The cottage is close to Ambleside shops so it is best to leave the car at the cottage and walk in to the town.

- Norman, June 2018
David June 2018

“Church View is a lovely cottage well situated in Ambleside with all amenities in easy walking distance.”

The cottage is compact and well equipped with everything we needed. The small patio is great for al fresco dining and drinks with a great view over the hillside. Lots of restaurants to choose from as well as a local supermarket for supplies. Well situated for walking and there is a small porch for muddy boots and wet coats. Just a short walk from Lake Windermere and boat trips with take you around the lake. Great cottage.

- David, June 2018

- Julie, March 2016
David March 2016

“Fantastic base for walks around the Lakes; right in the centre of Ambleside.”

This holiday home has all the mod cons; lovely and cosy with well equipped kitchen, patio doors out to a terrace where you can enjoy a glass of wine, excellent bathroom and comfortable bed! We particularly liked having our own parking space.

- David, March 2016
Linda February 2016

“This property is beautifully decorated and very well maintained.”

It is ideally situated for all types of leisure activities regardless of weather conditions. The cottage is very cosy, warm and welcoming to come back to especially after a good long walk over the fells. We both thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and will certainly be booking again.

- Linda, February 2016
Janet September 2015

We were also able to park the car at the property and walk to some places of interest.

- Margaret, June 2015

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.

Note: No children or infants.
