    “Spent 3 nights at this lovely house to celebrate my 70th birthday with 3 of my close girl friends.”

    The house was lovely and perfect for us, getting out walking from the door and eating out at night. Three bedrooms worked perfectly, as I requested upon booking that one room was made up to be twin beds. All rooms have twins but are usually left as doubles. I feared my request would not be followed through, so I repeatedly contacted Sykes to make sure this would be done. We arrived to find that yes, there were 3 double beds. It was late in the day.

    The house was lovely and perfect for us, getting out walking from the door and eating out at night. Three bedrooms worked perfectly, as I requested upon booking that one room was made up to be twin beds. All rooms have twins but are usually left as doubles. I feared my request would not be followed through, so I repeatedly contacted Sykes to make sure this would be done. We arrived to find that yes, there were 3 double beds. It was late in the day. We were tired after stopping off en route for a lovely walk near Ullswater and couldn't get through to anyone, so we scrabbled around in the cupboards to find extra bedding. Not a great start to our trip.

    - Christine, February 2026

    Hello Christine thank you so much for choosing Hazel Cottage for your celebrations and for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry that you were let down by Sykes/Lakelovers failure to configure the beds as required, this is being investigated and so hopefully will not happen in future. We do hope that you enjoyed your break in beautiful Ambleside Kind regards Nicky & Steve Owners Property Owner

The property

This charming cottage is located in a fantastic position on Compston Road, just a stone's throw away from the historic town centre of Ambleside which is situated at the head of Lake Windermere.

Just perfect for those looking to explore the Lake District whatever the occasion or time of year.

Completely renovated from the ground up, this property has been decorated to an incredible standard creating a holiday home of the highest quality and presented in calm neutral tones.

The inviting oak front door leads you into the hallway where lovely Victorian hooks offer the perfect spot for coats and scarves.

Oak floors run throughout the ground floor and lead you into the open plan living and dining room, with its large comfortable sofas, inviting wood burner and solid oak dining table - this is the perfect spot for socialising or just relaxing when the evenings draw in. The kitchen has been finished to the highest specification and attention to detail has been paid to all appliances and accessories, making this the perfect spot for the aspiring chef.

The kitchen accesses the rear patio which has a small heated out building for drying wet boots and coats.

Bikes can also be stored out here, allowing you the peace of mind of being able to store away expensive equipment securely.When the day is over, climb the stairs to the first floor where you will find two of the three spacious double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom with large double walk in power shower / drench shower and WC.

There is also a separate bathroom containing a free standing claw and ball bath and large double walk in power shower.

Heading up to the second floor, there you will find the third double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with large double walk in power shower and WC, this room also offers beautiful views of Wansfell. This property is truly fantastic, offering an inviting warmth alongside contemporary design and delivered to the very highest standard, a place to relax with friends and family and a great choice for those who want an active or relaxing break within the Lake District National Park.

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.

Please note this property has 3 zip link beds. These will be made as a King by default. Please contact the call center should you wish it to be a Twin.
There is also a starter pack of wood on arrival
