“Brilliant few days staying here.”

Really comfortable house with everything you might need in a top location. Very close to all the pubs and shops, roughly 1.3mile walk down to the lake and boats which can get you around. Great walks from the cottage too, especially to Grasmere. Car parking idea was great, but as it was a school holiday it was very busy and did struggle to get a space one of the days but in general wasn’t really a problem for us. Would love to stay again.

“Had a great time at End Cottage.”

It was a perfect walking distance to the town of Ambleside and was within driving distance to all of the other local towns. The noise from the road was minor and did not hinder our stay. The cottage was so homely, clean and had great facilities. Thanks for a great stay.

“This is a beautiful cottage in an ideal location.”

2 minute walk into Ambleside centre, and easy to drive to lots of other beautiful walking points. Parking was in a car park just down the road, which was not an issue and the added benefit was that the parking permit could be used in other car parks around the Lake District. The cottage is on a busy road, but it wasn't too noisy at night and the main bedroom is at the back so you couldn't hear the traffic anyway. This wasn't a problem for us. Would recommend this cottage

“Fabulous cottage!”

The weather wasn’t great, so this was a really comfortable and cosy base for us. We both felt really relaxed by the end of our stay. It is, as others mentioned, on a busy main road, but we didn’t really notice the noise and it didn’t bother us at all, with the lounge and bedroom being situated at the rear of the cottage. The parking permit was really useful - not only in Ambleside, but also in Windermere, Bowness and Grasmere! The cottage is near a great real ale pub, The Golden Rule, and only a 5 minute walk into the centre of Ambleside which has several eateries and shops. We don’t often return to the same cottage, but this ticked all the boxes (luxury towels, powerful shower, comfortable bed and sofas), and we are more than likely to return!

“Couldn’t keep gate closed from the outside plus no lock/extremely busy road/unfortunately electricity works taking place outside of property which included temporary traffic lights and working as late as 10 o’clock at night/potty mouthed neighbour next door could be heard all hours of day and night!”

Although me and partner didn’t mind the traffic noise l feel future guests should be advised that it is situated on a busy main road

“The cottage was ideally located to the main town of Ambleside.”

Cottage had everything you needed for a vacation stay. The only negative I would say is in relation to the parking and although a parking permit was provided, we sometimes found it difficult to find a parking space in the nearest car park to the cottage. We had an excellent stay and will be coming back.

“The bus services from Ambleside make it the best Lake District holiday base for anyone not driving.”

We had a great time and the cottage is lovely - and the bus stop is just outside!

“One of the best cottages we have stayed in.”

Spotless, lovely decor , good quality furnishings and well equipped. Yes it’s on the main road but wasn’t an issue for us as bedroom at the back and we were out all day. We appreciated a very short, flat stroll into town after a day walking on the fells. Also very near our favourite pub, The Golden Rule. Highly recommend this cottage.

“If we had been aware that the property frontage was right onto the main road out of Ambleside (Rydal road?”

) we would not have selected it. This was not exactly clear in how the location was described. The traffic noise impacted on our enjoyment especially sitting in the small yard at the back.

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.
