“I lived in Ambleside during my teenage years and lived at number 5, two doors down from this property so I new what I was expecting.”
I knew it was going to be cosy, quiet, compact, relaxed with all the 'nuances' you would expect with an old cottage like this. From the moment we walked in, my fiancee and 2 young children absolutely loved it. It is a perfect cosy cottage for a couple or family of 4 if your children are small/young. Our daughter (3) loved sitting in the window watching the birds! Very clean and tidy with all the facilities in place.

I knew it was going to be cosy, quiet, compact, relaxed with all the 'nuances' you would expect with an old cottage like this. From the moment we walked in, my fiancee and 2 young children absolutely loved it. It is a perfect cosy cottage for a couple or family of 4 if your children are small/young. Our daughter (3) loved sitting in the window watching the birds! Very clean and tidy with all the facilities in place. Just an observation, be mindful of the water pressure can sometimes drop which is normal due to the age and infrastructure of these old cottages and we knew this beforehand. Due to the nature of the cottage, the toilet and shower room is a very compact space but is very clean and well designed and does the job. The kitchen and lounge and lovely spaces. The little table and chairs at the end of the pathway outside were a perfect place for a morning brew, enjoying the surroundings, watching the birds (that came right up to us), and the local cat who we all took a shine to! The allocated parking space is a great feature as well, just be careful when entering the space that you don't go over the yellow bar with your tires! Only a few minutes walk away from the centre of Ambleside, and in the other direction, 10-15 mins to Waterhead for the lake and boats. Also, it's a perfect location for going on car journeys to neighbouring villages whilst taking in the scenery and landscape along the way. Again just an observation, don't be put off by a slight 'aroma', these old cottages can at times have a little damp smell that you don't notice after a bit. Maybe a dehumidifier might help those who are sensitive to this. Again, context is important, this is an old traditional and rustic cottage and it is to be expected that it is not like a typical modern build. Would definitely stay again, we all had a great time!
Thank you for your lovely feedback, it was so lovely to read what a fantastic stay you had at Fell View and we would love to welcome you back again in the future. Lakelovers
