Charlotte November 2024

“Spotlessly clean, well furnished each bedroom has own bathroom and the location is 10/10 The slight negatives are: Parking is really tight you had to do a multi point turn to get in or out.”

There’s Too many pans, serving dishes etc so little room for groceries. The wine glasses are terrible there was also only x1 gin glass. But these are just niggles and easily fixed.

- Charlotte, November 2024
Helen October 2024

“The property was fantastic, it had everything we needed and more, the location was perfect.”

We had three generations with varying needs and hopes for the holiday, and the accomodation suited all of us.

- Helen, October 2024
Nichola September 2024

“We had a super stay at Rossett Holme and were very impressed with everything!”

The Welcome Pack was the best we’ve ever received, the whole house was comfortable and clean and the equipment and furnishings were of a lovely quality. We all loved it. Its location in the centre of Ambleside was fabulous too. We’d love to return sometime and thank you for providing such a wonderful place to relax and stay in.

- Nichola, September 2024

Helen Claire August 2024

“We had a fabulous weekend at Rossett Holme.”

The house is beautifully furnished and very well equipped; we absolutely loved it. Even better than we imagined. We were in the Lakes for the Windermere end to end swim so it was a perfect location for the registration and pick up point. We also really enjoyed spending some time in Ambleside… perfect weekend away with the family, thank you xx

- Helen Claire, August 2024

Thank you so much - Janet will be so. Pleased you enjoyed your stay!! we look forward to your next visit!! Paddy Montague Property Owner
Darren August 2024

“What a fantastic place to stay the house is absolutely stunning however the one downside is that if you sleep in the front rooms don't expect to get much sleep they really could do with secondary glazing as the road noise and early deliveries really do spoil an otherwise enjoyable stay.”

- Darren, August 2024

Interesting - all of the front rooms have secondary glazing!! We are having another look at them to see if the glazing can be upgraded…… Property Owner
Melanie August 2024

“We had a fabulous week at Rossett Holme, it was perfect for our family get together.”

Lots of room, beautifully equipped and furnished and great position in the centre of Ambleside. Having the outside space was great too for a drink after a day of walking! Thank you to Janet who was very helpful and kind during our stay. The welcome gifts are the best in any property we have stayed in. Would definitely stay again one day! Thank you.

- Melanie, August 2024

Thank you so much, particularly on behalf of Janet Property Owner
Paul July 2024

“Superb property tucked away in the centre of Ambleside.”

The property is spotless, very well appointed and a fantastic base for exploring the area. The parking is a tad awkward but not the end of the world. Would definitely use this property again.

- Paul, July 2024
Julie June 2024

“Rossett Holme is a lovely place to stay.”

It is well stocked with crockery, utensils and cleaning facilities. The rooms are well proportioned and beds comfortable. The welcome pack was a nice surprise. Our only criticism would be that the parking place is really only suitable for a small car.

- Julie, June 2024
Michael January 2024

“We have stayed in a number of holiday homes, both in the UK and abroad, and this is the best of them all.”

Our group consisted of four couples, each of whom were delighted with the quality of the accommodation. The kitchen/living area was an ideal social space. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen equipment was comprehensive and the welcome pack much appreciated. The location of the property is ideal for taking advantage of the local amenities and as a base for exploring the area. Would recommend without hesitation.

- Michael, January 2024
Lesley November 2023

“We were delighted with the property, everything was to a very high standard and very well equipped.”

Right in the centre of town so very handy and the additional parking space was very useful. The welcome hamper was a lovely addition. I would highly recommend this property.

- Lesley, November 2023
Jon October 2023

“Fantastic property, decorated and maintained to a high standard, everything works, which in my experience is unusual for holiday rentals.”

The property is ideally located in the centre of town with walks on the doorstep with plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby. Parking for our two cars was not a problem in October, there’s parking for one car at the property and we had a permit for the roads near by for the other car and there was always parking available. This might not be the the case at busier times.

- Jon, October 2023
Jacqueline September 2023

“Lovely spacious property, the bathroom next to twin must have been missed during cleaning.”

However, we didn't notice until the day before we left as we didn't use it during our stay. Didn't like the wine glasses. The best equipped property we have stayed in.

- Jacqueline, September 2023

As guest comments show our Housekeeper/ cleaners take great pride in ‘their’ property being perfect. The bathroom involved was inspected before the guests arrived and after they left.On both inspections the only problem was that after they left the toilet seat was up…… Property Owner
Andrew August 2023

“Absolutely gorgeous cottage right in the centre of town, with private parking, and a few footsteps to all the shops, restaurants, etc that Ambleside has to offer.”

What a find! The house is finished to a very high standard... perhaps better than any I have been in. Everything is spotless, high quality, and everything you might need is there. My younger generation especially loved the second TV room/snug! Also big thanks to the owners and the housekeeper for a quick resolution to the only problem that arose during our stay.

- Andrew, August 2023
Iain April 2023

“Rossette Holme is a beautiful house, and the family thoroughly enjoyed staying there.”

Best bits are - the very high finish of the house, the extra snug/tv room and the sun deck (and of course the welcome pack - thank you)!

- Iain, April 2023
Anne March 2023

“Wow! This cottage is amazing, all the rooms have been furnished to the highest standard and are spotlessly clean (thanks Janet).”

It has everything you need for a great weeks holiday, if you want to cook the kitchen is kitted out with all you need, if not you are in the heart of Ambleside with pubs, cafes, restaurants at your door. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and very much appreciated, we will definitely be back.

- Anne, March 2023

Thank you for your kind comments, we are so glad that you enjoyed everything the property and the area has to offer. Property Owner
Gayle February 2023

“We were all very impressed with the property.”

Cleanliness and furnishings were superb. Couldn’t get more central. We didn’t realise there was a front door until we were in the property. Welcome basket was wonderful. We will definitely recommend this property to our friends.

- Gayle, February 2023
Jacqueline December 2022

“Another perfect Christmas for the whole family at Rossett Holme.”

- Jacqueline, December 2022
Maria October 2022

“Beautiful property, very comfortable and stocked with everything you need.”

The wine, cookies, cake and bread which had been left in the property for us is a really nice thoughtful touch - thank you.

- Maria, October 2022
Mary September 2022

“Lovely welcoming house, fantastic space, great location and great vibe.”

- Mary, September 2022
Barry August 2022

“Wonderful place to stay.”

As we were getting married it was a fantastic base for the family to prepare for our big day. Had problem with hot water the day before the wedding but was fixed within 2 hours. If being a bit petty you could complain about the delivery noises early morning but you are in the town centre. Plus side is you open the front door and are in the middle of Ambleside .As soon as I (sorry now we) can save the money we will rent it again.

- Barry, August 2022
Elizabeth August 2022

“Rossett Holme is the best holiday property in the Lakes that we have stayed in (and we've stayed in several!”

). The location is slap bang in the heart of Ambleside and easy to find. Facilities are amazing with everything needed plus more for a family holiday. Beds are super comfy and having 2 comfortable sofa areas is also a plus when staying with a large family group. The kitchen is fully equipped with pretty much everything you can think of. The attention to detail in terms of decoration is clean, stylish and modern. The welcome pack was also an added luxurious extra to start the holiday and went down a treat. I would definitely recommend this property!

- Elizabeth, August 2022
Tony June 2022

“Our 2nd visit.”

This is a great property with an excellent position in Ambleside, close to park and a good starting point for walks. Some improvements made since last year which has benefited the main living area. Food parcel again outstanding. Everything you need is there. We would highly recommend this property for a welcoming break.

- Tony, June 2022
Susan May 2022

“The apartment is lovely.”

Very spacious over two floors, good sized rooms, with fab en-suites. Everything you could possibly need and a good quality 5 star hotel feel. The decking area was perfect for sitting out in the sun. The downside is the outside noise. The front overlooks the road and the back is noisy in the early morning with deliveries to the back of the shops. I would still go again however :)

- Susan, May 2022
Andrea March 2022

“Celebrated our golden wedding anniversary with the family at Rossett Holme.”

Everything was fantastic, spotlessly clean, extremely well appointed and really couldn’t have been more central. I could not recommend it more

- Andrea, March 2022

Thank you so much Property Owner
Jacqueline December 2021

“Absolutely perfect again.”

Colin November 2021

“An excellently kitted-out property, conveniently located for bars, restaurants and walking.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Colin, November 2021
Joyce November 2021

“A superb holiday home which is perfectly located in the centre of Ambleside.”

Extremely well stocked with quality kitchen equipment that made self catering easy. Very clean, much appreciated welcome pack and a good supply of basic cleaning products. Beautiful furnishings with comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms, efficient heating with constant hot water. TV package and tv's in all rooms allowed our mixed party to be catered for on wet evenings. The living area is accessed by numerous steps externally at the back and internally at the front. The hallway downstairs at the front of the house provided ideal access for a pram.

- Joyce, November 2021
Stephen October 2021

“Had everything you needed,kitchen fully equipped.”

The bedrooms were impressive with each having there own shower and bath,normally only a shower and great location

- Stephen, October 2021
Tariq October 2021

“The apartment was so well appointed, clean and lots of homely touches.”

Initial supplies were welcome. The location was excellent, though having a view would have been the cherry on the cake. The apartment was spacious and suitable for the number of people in our party. Great to have so many en suites and shower rooms etc. The advertised access to the leisure club makes it sound as though it is close by in walking distance. Not a ten or more minute drive away. Consequently we did not use it. Overall an excellent facility.

- Tariq, October 2021
Eileen October 2021

“A beautiful house to stay in.”

Everything you needed was there.

- Eileen, October 2021
david September 2021

“A fantastic time was had by all, lovely house in an excellent position for exploring the lakes.”

My only comment is that the lower backdoor and front door locks were very stiff and difficult to operate , other than this super property.

- david, September 2021
John September 2021

“We visited Ambleside for a 50th anniversary of our starting teacher training at Charlotte Mason College in 1971.”

We had a wonderful time in beautiful Rossett Holme which was ideal for our visit.We enjoyed it so much we have booked a full week next year.The house is fabulous and far exceeded our expectations.We also met the lovely cleaning lady who obviously does an amazing job looking after the property for guests.Thank you also for the tasty welcome pack.

- John, September 2021
Jennifer September 2021

“We had the most amazing stay for my dads 60th birthday.”

The house was absolutely beautiful and couldn’t have been in a better location. It was decorated to such a high standard and was absolutely immaculate! The kitchen cupboards had everything you could possibly need and it was such a lovely touch leaving bread, milk, butter, cake and prosecco for us on arrival. I have already recommended this house to all of my family and friends and we’re dying to book back up for our next stay already. Thank you so much!

- Jennifer, September 2021
Liz August 2021

“Rossett Holme was the perfect place to stay!”

The rooms were all excellent sizes, the property was very high quality and extremely clean. We had a lovely welcome basket when we arrived (including milk in the fridge!) which was a great touch. It's located right in the centre of Ambleside so shops, pubs and restaurants were all within easy walking distance. We had a faultless stay and we're looking forward to coming back again soon!

- Liz, August 2021
Julie July 2021

“We had an amazing stay at Rossett Holme.”

Location was perfect , accommodation was fab and the complimentary welcome items were a lovely gesture. Will definitely be back. Thank you

- Julie, July 2021
EMMA July 2021

“Beautifully appointed house and it was spotlessly clean.”

The central location meant that everything was on the doorstep. It made our holiday so much easier having items like the hand soap in the bathrooms and kitchen items provided. We had a fabulous stay and would definitely recommend this property.

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.
