    “I had a really wonderful stay in Hill Cottage.”

    You immediately feel at home here. The location is perfect, just a short walk into town but still so quiet and peaceful (you can hear the occasional owl at night). It’s so easy to get the train from London and then a bus from Windermere - the journey was seamless and so quick. No need to come with a car, especially because you can walk straight out onto the mountains from the cottage, or get a bus to Coniston or the Langdales. Hill Cottage is wonderfully warm and comfortable and the kitchen ...

    You immediately feel at home here. The location is perfect, just a short walk into town but still so quiet and peaceful (you can hear the occasional owl at night). It’s so easy to get the train from London and then a bus from Windermere - the journey was seamless and so quick. No need to come with a car, especially because you can walk straight out onto the mountains from the cottage, or get a bus to Coniston or the Langdales. Hill Cottage is wonderfully warm and comfortable and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The beds are ridiculously comfortable with good quality linen, and the modern bathrooms are spotlessly clean with an amazing power shower (and also a bath) - perfect after a day walking in the mountains. It is tastefully furnished and I loved the thoughtful design, especially the cows! Ambleside is such a great place to base yourself in the Lake District, with inspiring walks and lots of great pubs and restaurants, and I can’t wait to visit Hill Cottage again - it’s like home-from-home. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

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.
