“Fantastic little gem in the centre of Ambleside, all amenities close by.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was so nice to get away! The cottage was clean, well presented and comfortable.

“The size of the rooms and the location of the property is excellent.”

This property could be very special but the state of the decor really lets it down throughout the property. Lots of paint coming off the wall, cracks in the wall which need attention. Looking at comments in the visit book this is not a new problem and has been the case for quiet some time. The shower although has plenty of hot water it is not very powerful which again lets down the bathroom which is very large and lovely. Given the price of the property these must be fixed and if so then the price of the stay would be good value but as is then it is over priced. Shame it has lots of potential just needs some TLC.

“The property whilst nice is in need of some maintenance.”

The front sitting room has clear signs of a damp issue along the front wall behind the couch and under the window. The kitchen should really have a door fitted between it and the stairs. Whoever gets the top floor bedroom has no sound protection between their room all the way through to the kitchen. If the dishwasher or washing machine are switched on over night they can clearly be heard. The bathroom in the attics could benefit from a proper blind on the window. The adjacent building is having work done and the builders can see you in the shower and on the loo!

“Enjoyed having a cottage right in the centre of Ambleside which meant we had easy access to the village and a range of walks.”

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.
