    “This cottage is extremely well placed having the best view of the mountains I’ve ever seen in The Lake District and the cottage is in avery quiet and secluded situation.”

    The cottage itself is very well fitted out with modern bathrooms and kitchen. We were blessed with glorious weather and had a really great holiday. We will definitely return. We had just one problem and that was that the WiFi was very poor. Most of the time just downloading emails or using the internet was very slow or not possible. We knew that there was no TV reception and had an iPad with us but trying to watch a programme on the iPad was so slow downloading we gave up. As we have our own ...

    The cottage itself is very well fitted out with modern bathrooms and kitchen. We were blessed with glorious weather and had a really great holiday. We will definitely return. We had just one problem and that was that the WiFi was very poor. Most of the time just downloading emails or using the internet was very slow or not possible. We knew that there was no TV reception and had an iPad with us but trying to watch a programme on the iPad was so slow downloading we gave up. As we have our own business it was frustrating trying to resolve an issue that arose while we were away. Otherwise we were very happy with the accommodation.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback; we are delighted that you had a great holiday at Spindle Coppice. Unfortunately Fibre broadband is not currently available in this area but the owner usually finds the wifi fine for their purposes. We hope to welcome you to the property again.

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.
