    “The location is ideal for exploring everything Ambleside has to offer, with shops, restaurants, and walks all within easy reach.”

    The cottage itself is excellent—comfortable, well maintained, and thoughtfully set up. Having a bathroom for each bedroom is a real bonus, especially for our large group. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need, although it could do with checking from time to time, especially the glasses and cups. The heating works brilliantly too, making the whole place feel warm and cosy. TVs in every room, along with a smart TV in the lounge, mean you can easily relax in the evenings ...

    The cottage itself is excellent—comfortable, well maintained, and thoughtfully set up. Having a bathroom for each bedroom is a real bonus, especially for our large group. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need, although it could do with checking from time to time, especially the glasses and cups. The heating works brilliantly too, making the whole place feel warm and cosy. TVs in every room, along with a smart TV in the lounge, mean you can easily relax in the evenings with Netflix and similar. The only slight drawback is the parking arrangement, which uses permits for the Rydal Road Car Park rather than spaces directly outside. This needs to be changed on the website, as it is still stating the old arrangement. This can be a bit inconvenient if you’re travelling with multiple cars. That said, it’s only about a five‑minute walk, so it’s a small trade‑off considering how good everything else is. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Heatherley Cottage for a stay in Ambleside. For our large group, it was perfect.

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.
