“Pavement cottage is perfectly situated right in the centre of Ambleside.”

The beds and furniture are very comfortable and it has been equipped well. It was perfect for our stay and we would return. The only slight downside were the really steep stairs to the king-sized room on the second floor.

“Location might not suit everyone,next to a restaurant.”

Some minor items noted e.g.kitchen cupboard door needs repair,toilet seats loose. Generally found just right for us,

“We thought Pavement Cottage was excellent.”

A great location in the centre of Ambleside but located in a very quiet side street. It had everything we needed for a family of four, beds were comfortable, the whole cottage very clean and parking was very straightforward with the passes provided. A great stay.

“I'd like to start by saying Pavement Cottage is lovely with great features and situated in a wonderful location.”

However, the overall standard of cleaning was very very poor. As not to let this affect the holiday, we did not get in touch to address this but I am providing feedback now - which I sincerely hope will be recognised. I had to clean both of the bathrooms as there were hairs and dirt on both the main bathroom and en-suite bathroom floor. Both toilets were not cleaned properly and the shower heads were also very grubby. There was a dirty handprint next to the light on the first floor as you go up to the second floor. Every piece of cutlery, glass and plate we wanted to use in the kitchen had to be washed by us as they were filthy. For example, lipstick marks on glasses and most cutlery still had food on them plus the plates were greasy. Grill was not clean. In addition to this, I would say the carpets and furnishings were pretty grubby also. I expected a lot more from your company as the general communication in the run up to the let was very good. I had hoped this would be carried through in the attention to detail in the property. It's a real shame because I now question whether I would use your company again for a holiday in the future. If you would like to address in any of my feedback, please don't hesitate to contact me.

“Pavement Cottage was perfect for our week in Ambleside.”

Mrs Popplewell April 2021

“Cottage was perfect, impeccably clean, very well resourced and everything of high quality.”

The location was incredible, right in the middle of Ambleside. When we had to contact Lakelovers on the day after we arrived, their service was amazing. Friendly, helpful and sorted out our issue an hour later. Would really recommend this cottage and this company. The free parking permit was was useful but wonder if in the height of the season it might not be so easy to get parked...

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 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 that the property has a maximum occupancy of 4, but you are welcome to use all three bedrooms.
Wood for the fire can be purchased locally at nearby garage
