The property is plenty big enough for two and a small dog, the furnishings are nice and comfortable, especially the bed.

We did make use of the heating on cool evenings and combined this with lighting a fire in the lounge grate - all very easy and convenient. Great location for walks in any direction and Ambleside for facilities

Lovely place to stay, perfect for walks into Ambleside and grasmere an d the lovely pub in Rydal.

Ample designated parking and wonderful views. Comfiest of beds and great shower room. The only issues we had where:- 1. The main entry door looking quite tired which was not good for first impressions, just needs a lick of paint!! 2. It was quite chilly on an evening but there was no option to turn the heating on as it was on summertime settings which meant not turned on. Tried contacting the owner to ask for some heating on but they never got back to us but 2 days later some minimal heating did come on. We are not walkers so on the really rainy days we stayed around the cottage in the morning. We had to light the log fire with logs but at £10 a bag from the local garage they lasted us 2 hours as were soft wood!! Went through 3 bags in one day!! 3. Our other issue was the towels we used for showering with were still wet the next day. Would have helped to have the heated towel rail on to help with that. Other cottages we have stayed in had heated towel rails which really helps. The Lounge was quite small and cosy but had far too much h furniture in it which made it feel very cramped. The photos on Sykes website need updating as looks quite different. Apart from being cold everything else was perfect.

Stepping stones riverbank cottage is the perfect place to relax and unwind!

It’s in a great location to explore the lakes and we couldn’t have asked for anything more! The only feedback I would give is I think the enclosed private patio area is a bit misleading as I thought we would have a safe place to let our dog out but this wasn’t an enclosed area so would’ve been great to have a place that we knew she was safe in outside.
