What guests are saying
My partner and I had a lovely week at Greenways.
The weather was a bit mixed so it was nice when out in the rain to think that we had such a cosy and warm cottage to go back too.Everything in the cottage was well thought out even down to the small hand torches for using on the lane outside.The cottage is situated just a short walk into Ambleside.Everything well maintained inside and out.Plenty of parking space and very quiet.Will be booking again.

Hi both, we're glad you enjoyed your week despite the 'changeable' weather! Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review - we hope to see you back at Greenways soon. Best regards Phil and Judy
This was our third time at this property and we have already booked for next year!
It’s a lovely bungalow in a great position. The property is well equipped and comfortable and there are many walks directly from the front door.
Hi both, good to have you back again - we look forward to you returning next year as you leave Greenways so clean and tidy! Thank you for alerting us about the faulty bathroom strip light - now fixed. Best regards Phil and Judy
This was our second stay at Greenways.
The property is perfect, extremely clean and well equipped. We wouldn't stay anywhere else when visiting the lake district now. As well as being such a lovely property, it's location in Ambleside is ideal as you can walk to the shops, restaurants etc in five minutes. You can also leave your car parked at the property and do walks. We're already looking at dates for a return visit next year!
Thank you so much for your very positive review, it was good to have you back again especially as you leave Greenways so clean and tidy! We have just received your booking for next year - we look forward to your return!! Best regards Phil and Judy
We have stayed at Greenways several times and it is a lovely bungalow and is in a fantastic location.
The property is very clean and the owner has provided everything you need. However, for us, this time we felt the sofas were not comfortable. They offer no support and are very soft. The same also applies to the mattress in the main bedroom, very soft and no support. We were also disappointed that the TV has been replaced and is not a Smart TV, like a lot of people we prefer to catch up later on TV programmes.
It was good to meet up with you on your arrival - it's always good to put faces to names. We are naturally concerned that Greenways did not come up to your expectations but are a bit puzzled that, after all your previous stays, the mattress AND the sofas are suddenly not comfortable - nothing has changed. We will turn the mattress this weekend and we have ordered some backing boards to fit under the sofa cushions so hopefully that will alleviate the problem. Apologies for the TV but we were left in the lurch by previous guests who left it not working when they left without informing us. We only noticed on Saturday afternoon when we were cleaning and had to resort to deploying our backup which, as you say, is not smart. We have now sourced a replacement (smart) TV which will be installed this Saturday. On a more positive note, thank you again for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - much appreciated! Regards Phil and Judy
Fabulous bungalow in a wonderful setting and only a very short walk away from the centre of Ambleside.
It was good to meet you on your arrival - it's always nice to put faces to names! Thank you so much for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy, much appreciated - you're welcome back any time!! Best regards Phil and Judy
We had a great week at Greenways.
The accommodation was perfect and the owner very helpful. Spotlessly clean and in a great location. We didn't use our car all week as there were so many beautiful walks to do and places to visit around Ambleside. The town is only a couple of minutes walk. We would definitely stay at Greenways again.
Hi, thank you for your positive feedback, we're glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for leaving Greenways clean and tidy - much appreciated. Best regards Phil & Judy
Terrific place, booked again for next year when we got into Greenways
Hi, thanks for the feedback, we look forward to having you back at Greenways in future! Best regards Phil and Judy
Very impressed with the property, it felt homely and was well stocked with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.
The property was perfectly situated for exploring villages, market towns and the surrounding countryside.

We had a wonderful week’s stay in Greenways with our dog.
It’s a lovely cottage set on a slight incline and only five minutes’ walk to the centre of Ambleside, so the location is excellent for pubs and shops. A bonus too is the private parking space. It’s spacious, well-equipped, clean and comfy. The ample outside space was enclosed and private so we could enjoy sitting out in the sunshine. We didn’t use the car all week as we walked with our dog to Grasmere, Bowness on Windermere and Elterwater, then taking a bus back to Ambleside. We loved it and would like to stay here again.
Thank you for your kind review, we're glad you enjoyed your week! Thank you also for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy, very much appreciated! Best regards Phil and Judy
We were very happy with the accommodation our wee dog also secure garden and plenty seating areas round the garden the cottage was very comfortable everything was thought of to make you feel welcome would be very happy to recommend Greenways to anybody only a short walk to town centre and everything the lakes have to offer
We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Greenways, thank you for your kind review. Thank you also for leaving the place so clean and tidy - much appreciated! We hope to see you back again in future. Best regards Phil and Judy
A well equipped bungalow in an ideal location.
Extremely clean and tidy. Perfect for the two of us and our little pooch who especially enjoyed the complimentary treat. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
Thank you for your kind review, we're glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you also for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated! We're glad your dog enjoyed it's treat - that reminds me, we need to order some more........! Best regards Phil and Judy
Arriving at the Greenways was straightforward.
The property is situated up a slight incline. However the location is ideal and just a five minute walk into the centre of Ambleside. The Greenways is very well equipped. The owners have thought of all eventualties. Self catering you need a well equipped kitchen and The Greenways certainly delivers. The outside area is a lovely sun trap and quite sheltered. We took our small dog and with the enclosed garden it was safe to have a wander around. It is so quiet and peaceful so was ideal for a relaxing getaway.
Thank you for your kind review and thank you for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated, We hope to see you back again in future! Best regards Phil and Judy
Lovely cottage, great location, all facilities were of an excellent standard.
Front and back patios were very nice especially as the weather was good. Would highly recommend if you were wanting to stay in Ambleside. We never used the cars all week as did walks from Ambleside.
We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay, you certainly picked a great week for the weather! Thank you for your kind review and for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy, very much appreciated! We hope to see you back again in future. Best regards Phil and Judy
This was our third stay at Greenways, and it is a fantastic property.
It is fully equipped with everything you will need for a comfortable and relaxing break. It is perfectly located and has ample off road parking. The seated garden spaces provide a real sun trap if you’re lucky enough to get some sunshine, as we did over the last week. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Greenways.
Hi! We were pleased to see your name on the guest list as we know from previous visits that you leave Greenways clean and tidy - thank you for that! We look forward to your return in future! Best regards Phil and Judy
We had such a wonderful stay.
The cottage was so cosy, warm, and exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed. It felt like one of the best kitted-out places we’ve stayed in! One of the highlights was the location. It’s really close to town, but so lovely and quiet, and just a short walk to the many pubs and restaurants. We also really appreciated how dog-friendly everything is in Ambleside. We’d absolutely love to stay again.
Thank you so much for your very kind review, we're glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you also for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy, very much appreciated - you're welcome back anytime!! We hope to see you back at Greenways in future.... Best regards Phil and Judy
Have stay in many cottages over the years in Ambleside, Grrenways is definitely the best, absolutely spotless, we had everything we needed.
It felt like home from home. It was very peaceful, and we had some lovely warm weather for March. We love Greenways so much we have already booked to come again in September with Eddie the pug who didn't want to leave. Gill March 26
it was good to meet you both (and Eddie!) last week, thank you for your kind words. As before, you left Greenways absolutely immaculate for which we are very grateful - we look forward to your return in September! best regards Phil and Judy
Our second stay at Greenways and hopefully not our last.
Lovely and clean and very comfortable with wonderful mountain views .
Welcome back to Greenways, it was good to meet you on your arrival! Thank you for leaving the place so clean and tidy - we love guests like you! Hopefully we'll see you back again soon..... Best regards Phil and Judy
Delightful property, really clean and well stocked.
The location is perfect and the view from the living room window is just lovely.
We're so glad you enjoyed your week, thank you for your kind feedback! Thank you also for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated! You're welcome back anytime!
Another great week in the cottage it’s perfect in every way it’s cosy it’s clean it’s really warm I cannot fault anything we always feel at home when we arrive and even when it’s raining it’s a lovely home to relax in and chill out when we’re in the lakes I wouldn’t stay anywhere else
Hi, great to have you back again! Thank you for your kind review and also for leaving Greenways immaculate - it really does make our lives easier! Come back again soon! Best regards Phil and Judy
Another very enjoyable week at Greenways made all the better because of the lovely weather considering the time of year with only one rainy day.
Cottage was well equipped with everything you could need.
Great to have you back at Greenways as you always leave it immaculate! Glad you had good weather, not always guaranteed in November! Hope to see you back again next year?? Best regards Phil and Judy
We have stayed at various properties in Ambleside but have always been disappointed - not this time.
As soon as we entered the property we were impressed by the cleanliness and quality of the furnishings etc. The kitchen was so well equipped, even with lots of cleaning products that I didn't need to use any of mine (most properties don't have any, so I always take some). Unfortunately it wasn't sunny enough to sit in the garden, but sitting in the living room, you can watch all the birds flying around the trees and bushes just outside. The property is in a peaceful location but only a few minutes walk down to the shops etc. There are walks to do from the property so you can have car free days out. We definitely recommend Greenways and next time we return to the lake district, we'll be booking this property. Thank you for providing such a comfortable, cosy holiday property.
Thank you for your feedback and your kind words, we're glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you also for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy, very much appreciated and you're very welcome back any time! Best regards Phil and Judy
Bungalow was home from home.
Furnished with good quality furniture and soft furnishings. Very well equipped kitchen and spacious. Very clean and perfect location. Many walks can be done from the door. Garden front and back so if lucky to get the sun, like we did, you can catch it in the garden all day. Will definitely be booking again.
Thank you for your feedback and kind words, we're glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Thank you also for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated and we look forward to your return(s) in future. Best regards Phil and Judy
Super clean place to stay , everything you need in the property and great parking space, really central location too , definitely would recommend
So glad you enjoyed your stay!! Thank you for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - you're welcome back any time!! Best regards Phil and Jusy
Greenway's Holiday cottage continues to be the perfect retreat, with all the comforts of a home and a truly peaceful atmosphere.
The cleanliness of the cottage is exceptional, and we highly recommend!
Good to gave you back again, thank you for your kind review! We hope to see you on your next visit. Best regards Judy and Phil
We had a lovely stay at Greenways, was a delight to come back to after a long day walking.
Not having to drive all week was great, everything from your doorstep. We would recommend a walk or bus to Grassmere, buses every 15 mins absolutely beautiful, the lake has lots of private areas with benches, great for people who love openwater swimming. Rydal Lake and caves a good day out, Ambleside has a large lovely park Rothay, 15 min walk for our fur babies to have a run and great for families, play, picnics and ice cream
We're delighted that you enjoyed your week at Greenways, thank you for your kind words. Thank you also for leaving the place so clean and tidy, it was immaculate! Could you tell us please why you marked us down on "Facilities"? Regards Phil and Judy
Our stay at Greenways was brilliant.
The property itself was amazingly clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. With 2 different areas to sit out (front and rear) you could sit in the sun all day if you wanted to, It was like home from home to us and would definitely stay here again
Thank you for your review and kind words, we're glad you enjoyed your week! Also, thank you for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated. We hope to see you back again in future! Best regards Judy and Phil
Lovely cottage in a great location, clean and well maintained.
It suited us perfectly. The hill on Gale Rigg is steep but not a problem for any of our party. The location is quiet, yet very close to Ambleside shops and attractions. There is something for everyone in Ambleside and so do hope to book again next year.
Thank you for your feedback, we're glad you enjoyed your week! Thank you also for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy, you're welcome back anytime! Best regards Phil and Judy
we spent a very pleasant week in Greenways: very clean, tidy and well equipped property; very friendly communication with the owners and uncomplicated handling of a problem that occured; we would love to come back
Hi both, thank you for your review, we're pleased that you enjoyed your week. Thank you so much for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - you're welcome back any time! Best regards Phil and Judy
A very clean and well equipped property.
Very convenient for Ambleside and good parking. Lovely garden, I had my eye on a lovely hosta and managed to buy one! One of the reasons we booked this property was it has a bath but the bathroom and bath are very small. You can't lie down properly in the bath, it's too short and shallow. The overhead shower is good but I am a bath person! We had amazing weather for the Lakes and the duvets were much too hot unfortunately. A very quiet neighbourhood. One observation, think this is the only property we have stayed in in the Lakes, and we've stayed in a few, that didn't have a welcome pack, ie biscuits, bottle of wine or the like.
Thank you for your review and thank you for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated! We're sorry that the bath wasn't to your liking - it is a pretty much standard sized bath and nobody else has complained about it in our 8 years of operating. We lived in Greenways for a year and I never found the size of the bath to be an issue and I'm 6' 1" ! Apologies for the duvets, we've now replaced them with lower TOG ones. We will investigate welcome packs but we provide most of the items in the standard Lakelovers pack anyway. Regards Phil and Judy
We have stayed at Greenways for several years and just love the bungalow.
It is so peaceful and just a short walk to the shops in Ambleside. Hope to return again.
Many thanks for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed your week - what cracking weather you chose!! Thank you also for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - always much appreciated! We hope to see you back again soon. Best regards Phil & Judy
This is our second stay at Greenways and we had a lovely week.
The property is perfect for a break in Ambleside. It is spotless and has everything and more that you need to enjoy your stay. We had a full week of constant sunshine and we made great use of the garden patio areas, which are real sun traps. Parking is excellent with plenty of room for two cars. We hope to be back again soon.
Thank you both for your kind words, we're so glad you enjoyed your week.Thank you also for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated!! We hope to see you back again in future. Best regards Phil and Judy
We visited Greenways many years ago so it was nice to return, lots of happy memories!
! The property is immaculate, very clean , cosy and comfortable with lovely views of Wansfell and Todd Crag. With the added bonus of the lovely weather this week we managed many high level walks but it was so nice to return to Greenways later to relax and enjoy the warm sunshine on both the sheltered patios. It was so peaceful and quiet and lovely just to hear the birdsong. Just a few minutes in to the centre of the village it is ideally situated. We would love to return. Thank you.
Welcome back to Greenways! Thank you for your kind review and for leaving the place so clean and tidy - it was immaculate!! We're glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you back at Greenways in future. Best regards Judy and Phil
A calm and peaceful stay at Greenways - enjoying the spring views from every window and even a sit out in the garden with the emerging buds and green shoots, serenaded by resident Robin et al.
Many Thanks.
Great to meet you during your stay, it's always good to put a face to a name! We're glad you enjoyed this visit and, as always, thank you for leaving Greenways immaculate - much appreciated, Best regards Judy and Phil
We had a lovely relaxing week at Greenway, felt at home right away.
Views from every window and it was so quiet even though it was only a five minute walk to the town centre. Will definitely return.

Our second stay at Greenways.
Spotless, warm and everything you could need in holiday accommodation.
Thank you for your review and kind words, we're pleased you enjoyed your week at Greenways!
We had a lovely week at Greenways.
Only a five minute walk into Ambleside yet Greenways is so peaceful. We couldn’t fault the cottage at all. It was very well equipped ,spotlessly clean and very comfortable.So much attention to detail. Unfortunately we lost our dog in June so he didn’t get to enjoy it but I am sure he would have. It’s one of the best we’ve stayed in. We can’t wait to come back.
We're so sorry to hear about your dog - we lost ours a couple of years ago now and we still miss him. Glad you had a good week, thank you for your kind words and for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated, you're welcome back any time! Best regards Phil and Judy
We had a great week in Ambleside.
Greenways is a lovely, clean, comfortable and well equipped bungalow with parking. It is a short (downhill) walk into the centre of Ambleside and is well situated for catching local buses.
Thank you for your kind words, we're glad you enjoyed your week! Also, thank you for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated! We hope to see you back again in future. Best regards Phil and Judy

The bungalow is very comfortable and clean and has everything you need.
It is in a lovely quiet location, has great parking and is only a very short walk from the shops in Ambleside. We had a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to returning in May 2025.
Hi both, thanks for your feedback and thank you for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy. We look forward to welcoming you back next year. Best regards Phil and Judy
Greenways is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location.
It has everything that you need to enjoy a fantastic break in Ambleside. The cottage was perfect. It is fully stocked and extremely comfortable. It has two outdoor seating areas, and both are real sun traps (if you’re lucky enough to get some sun). Easy parking on the drive in front of the cottage and a short stroll into town. We hope to book again next year.
Hi both, thank you for your review, your kind words and for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - you are definitely welcome back any time! We're pleased you had sufficient sun to test both of our patios! Best regards Phil and Judy
A lovely place that has everything that you need whilst away from home.
A short walk from the town, so the location for us was perfect.
Thanks for the feedback, we're glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated!
As Always we have been very happy .
Great, glad you had a good week - see you in August! Best regards Phil & Judy
We had another lovely stay at Greenways.
It is definitely home from home. It is very clean and well equipped. Location is very good and central. The garden is lovely with 2 seating areas but the garden isn't fully secure for our little dog as she jumped over the wall into the next garden. This would not put us off as we kept her on a long lead after that. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely stay.
You must have an athletic dog! There's not much we can do about the wall I'm afraid. Thank you so much for leaving the place so clean and tidy - you're welcome back anytime! Regards Phil and Judy. Let us know what you want us to do about your overtrousers!
Liked it enough to book next year.
That's great, thank you! Also thank you for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - you can definitely come back again! Best regards Phil and Judy

Another lovely stay at Greenways - a calming space with spectacular view from each window and wonderful flowers in the garden - watching the birds in their busy endeavours - many thanks

Greenaway was a lovely place to stay.
Everything was very clean and we loved the views from the kitchen and lounge . The garden was great for our dog and there are lots of good walks from the cottage so no need to use the car everyday. It was also very handy for the shops and cafe's just down the road. Would love to stay here again sometime.
We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Greenways, thank you very much for your kind review! We hope to welcome you back in future. Best regards Phil
Everything about this property was perfect - the size, location, cleanliness, and amenities.
We love the Lakes and Ambleside, and staying here allowed us to enjoy the surrounding area with all the comforts of home. Thank you, we will definitely be back
We're so glad you enjoyed your week in Greenways - thank you for your kind words. We look forward to having you back.
We had a glorious four nights up in Ambleside.
Cottage was brilliantly located and didn’t need to move the car. Cottage was very clean, warm and had all the amenities you needed, including sharp knives. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again for when we return. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we're delighted that you enjoyed your stay - come back for longer next time! Best regards Judy and Phil
Lovely cosy bungalow in a great location.
A 5 minute down hill walk to the village. The house is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything that you would need. We had taken my 97 year old mother with us who enjoyed her break. Due to the steep hill up to the bungalow we had to use the car to get her up and down to the village which was a bit of a pain. I would not recommnend this location to elderly or infirm due to the incline getting back up to cottage. For us it was great.
Thank you for your kind words in your review, we are glad you enjoyed your break. We have taken note of your comments about Gale Rigg and have amended the website information to warn potential guests who are elderly or are infirm - thank you for bringing it to our attention. Phil and Judy
The cottage was immaculately clean, and very well equipped.
We really appreciated the comprehensive information about the bins and heating system, something we've struggled with in other cottages. The bed was very comfortable with the mattress topper on, and the towels were really good quality. The location was also very good, quiet but very close to the town centre. We noticed that BBC1 did not come up on the tv so we had to access it via iPlayer - possibly the channel needs retuning?
Hi, thanks for your kind words in your review. Also, thank you so much for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy - very much appreciated! I'll check the TV for BBC 1 reception, thank you for letting us know. We hope to see you back again in future.....best regards - Phil and Judy.
We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Greenways.
The location was superb with just a 5-10 minute walk into Ambleside and a 15 minute walk to Waterhead, making it very easy to explore the local area by foot. The house itself was immaculate, very well equipped and comfortable, with plenty of storage space and two lovely patio areas outside. Highly recommended for an active but relaxing family break.
Hi Mr Hayman, thank you so much for your positive feedback and also thank you for leaving Greenways so clean and tidy, much appreciated - you are definitely welcome to come back in future! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay despite the ‘variable’ weather! Best regards Phil Nendick
Lovely holiday let, very comfortable and clean.
Nice secure garden. Only 5 minutes walk to town. Would definitely recommend. Look out for the deer passing by. Sharon
Hi Sharon, thank you for your positive feedback and we're glad you enjoyed your stay at Greenways. Also, thank you for leaving the place so clean and tidy - very much appreciated! We hope to see you back at Greenways in future.
We found a Greenways the bungalow very good excellent facilities would not hesitate to recommend only five minutes to the village however due to the a couple of very steep roads it is not ideal for people of a certain age or any medical issues is actually cost ourselves 70 pound in taxis to get back from the town I am so much surprised this hasn't been mentioned before however the bungalow was beautiful and the scenery from all windows was beautiful
We are so sorry to hear of your problems with Gale Rigg. Nobody has mentioned this as a problem before but we take on board what you say. Although we wouldn’t describe Gale Rigg as “very steep”, we accept that the slope upwards to Greenways could be an issue to someone with health problems. We will liaise with Heart of the Lakes to mention the slope in their property description for Greenways - thank you for bringing this to our attention and thank you for the positive content of the rest of your feedback, much appreciated. While we accept that you probably won’t be returning to Greenways in future, we wish you luck in finding a more suitable Ambleside property more on the level for future holidays Best regards Phil Nendick
Our stay at Greenway's was a very enjoyable experience.
As well as the delightful weather and breath-taking views the cottage was comfortable and immaculate. We highly recommend Greenways to anyone seeking a holiday in the beautiful Ambleside and look forward to returning.
Lovely property only 5 mins walk from Ambleside.
Comfortable property, kitchen well equipped. Clean and uncluttered. Seating area front and back. Only one minor maintenance issue, the shrubs / bramble running along side the path from the front to the back garden needs trimming back.
Hi, thanks for your feedback! We've been away on holiday so the garden has been a tad neglected over the past 2 weeks. I've popped over this afternoon and cleared the path - thanks again for letting us know. We're glad you enjoyed your week in Greenways in the sunshine! Best wishes Phil and Judy.
WE have been very happy with the stay .
we are looking forward to the next stay in the next few weeks.
Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back. The Owner Relations Team.
One of the best properties we have stayed in.
Comfortable, very well equipped. Lovely secure garden. Only very slight negative, water a little cool for our liking and a mop would be good to clean up on wet days etc.
Hi, we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Greenways! Sorry to hear the water wasn’t as hot as it could be - we’ve just had the boiler serviced so the engineer possibly tweaked something. I’ll go round this afternoon and increase the temperature - thanks for letting us know, much appreciated! Best regards Phil and Judy
Very nice property.
Made special with Christmas tree and very welcome prosecco. Very cosy thanks
So glad you liked it! We hope you enjoyed your stay despite the weather!
Lovely place to stay.
Very peaceful area and lovely views. The shower was a bit cool for us it really could do with a temperature increase especially after a cold walk! Otherwise a great place to stay and we would like to stay there again
Hi, sorry you weren't pleased with the shower. The more you push the lever over, the faster the flow and so the temperature decreases. Turn the lever back a smidge and the water will be hotter! We hope to see you back at Greenways in future.
Everything we were looking for.
Clean. Well equipped. Great location 5 mins walk from centre. Good wifi. Maps, walks, local restaurants detailed. Great holiday.
This house is in a very quiet and beautiful situation with lovely views of Wansfell from the lounge and kitchen windows, and only 5 or so minutes walk into the high street.
The property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. All kitchen appliances good. Plenty storage space in bedrooms. Ample parking at front of property. Also useful information on activities and eating establishments locally.
Property was very clean, comfortable and provided an excellent location for easy access to Ambleside town centre.
Highly recommend.
Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed your stay! We hope to see you again......
The property is in a really quiet location yet minutes from the centre of Ambleside.
The views from the sitting room of the fells are beautiful. The cottage is very well presented and equipped; the owners have thought of everything to make our stay comfortable.
Second time we stayed at this cottage.
As then, clean and neat cottage. Hopefully we will be back soon. Our favorite place in the UK...the lake district. Till next time! Fam. Van Duyse - Bruynbroeck, Belgium
Very good property.
Very clean and bed comfortable. Great location, short walk into town and nice views of Wansfell. Useful folder of guest information provided by the owners complete with short restaurant reviews and takeaway menus
Excellent Cottage and in a ideal location, only 2/3 minutes from town centre, very clean and cosy and the back yard is a sun trap to sun worshippers, found only 1 minor fault, the toaster will only take 2 pieces of bread, would definitely stay again.
Thank you for a lovely stay.
We visited this property in April 22.
It was clean and comfy and was like being home from home. We will definitely be staying again in the future
We had a lovely stay at Greenways.
The bungalow was spotless and had everything we needed. It is in a great location with great views. We will definately be back and would highly recommend.
We loved the property.
This is a lovely clean, well equipped and hidden cottage that offers everything you need for a stay away from home.
We will defensively be back!
a well equipped cottage, nice and modern interior.
Garden lovely but no grass (for dog owners) but there is a small green just out of the gate.
The property was exactly what we needed.
It was very well equipped and so convenient for waking in to Ambleside. The set of yellow walks were great we did three of them. Would definitely return.
A lovely bungalow in a peaceful location, yet close enough to the town to be accessible on foot.
Good views of Wansfell from the kitchen. The interior layout is excellent, especially the lounge and kitchen area. Overall a very good base for walking or sightseeing. Plenty of parking space for 2 cars if required.
A home from home, very central but quiet location.
Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back.
The cottage was spotless and in a fantastic location.
It is very near the town but is very quiet with lovely views.
Greenways is situated in a lovely quiet part of Ambleside very close to the centre .
It was well equipped with everything you need for your stay. The view from the living room is beautiful. The front and back gardens are well maintained. We had glorious weather so sat out a few times. We will definitely be back.
The property exceeded our expectations.
There were lots of thoughtful touches included and we were very comfortable there. It was a good base for Ambleside and for exploring other areas.
Greenways was absolutely fabulous very well equipped and in a great spot really near to all shops and restaurants we would recommend this to everyone and will book again
The cottage (Greenways) was immaculate and very well equipped/furnished.
Its location was lovely and quiet, but very close to the amenities of Ambleside and within walking distance of Waterhead on lake Windermere.
