    “My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here in the Old Toffee Shop.”

    The cottage was beautifully furnished and everything was just lovely. The kitchen was well equipped and there was a loaf of bread, butter, milk, teabags, coffee , biscuits and orange juice provided which I thought was a very nice gesture. When we arrived we parked right outside the cottage for an hour to unload our luggage and then moved it to a car park just around the corner using the parking permits provided.

    The cottage was beautifully furnished and everything was just lovely. The kitchen was well equipped and there was a loaf of bread, butter, milk, teabags, coffee , biscuits and orange juice provided which I thought was a very nice gesture. When we arrived we parked right outside the cottage for an hour to unload our luggage and then moved it to a car park just around the corner using the parking permits provided. It was a great being located right in the heart of Ambleside. Shops, restaurants, cafes, and pubs were right on the doorstep. We did 6 different walks, in the week and 3 of these started in Ambleside. The other 3 were just a short drive away and we used the parking permit there too which was a bonus. The log burner was lovely to use and we purchased logs and fire lighters from the petrol station just up the road. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

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.
