“Comfortable cosy accommodation.”

Beds very comfortable and loved the wool duvets. Fabulous views from the elevated position. Disappointed that a small maintenance issue wasn’t addressed in a timely manner however we managed despite the inconvenience. We would be happy to come again.

“Cottage was very well equipped, warm and comfortable.”

Views were outstanding from the garden. Lots of positives could be listed. We found the private access road to be a big issue. It is extremely steep (1st gear steep) and has a pothole at the top. Our car struggled, with 4 passengers, so inevitably we had to leave our car in the bottom carpark. This meant a steep climb with bags, etc, everytime we went anywhere. Not ideal in the rain. The shared garden also has no gates (so not secure) and a big drop on one section. It does tell you to supervise your dog but we had to put ours on a lead everytime we let her out as she is inquisitive. Some fresh milk would have been lovely after a long drive. There were 3 mini cartons left in a tea caddy but that wouldn't have even made us one drink.

- Shalon, October 2023

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We feel that the drive is accurately described on the website and would always recommend guests check the suitability of a property prior to booking a property if any concerns. As this is a self-catering property we do not provide welcome packs as standard. We are glad that you enjoyed the property and all that the area has to provide.

“We absolutely loved the cottage, the surrounding country side was absolutely beautiful, with amazing views across to the fells.”

The cottage too was wonderful. Great walks in the area too really added to the experience and so near to Ambleside and within easy reach to so many place.

Michael September 2023

“High quality stay as on previous occasions in this very well equipped cottage.”

Only minor issue is that scales for weighing food are VERY inaccurate. On demand hot water proved very useful - not least for warming us up when coming in out of the rain! It was nice of the RAF to arrange a very low fly-past of 4 of their jets for us on the Thursday morning - certainly shook the foundations!

- Michael, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Lingmoor View and that the hot water was a great relief! Thank you for your return visit. Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Dan August 2023

“Generally a lovely place to come home to after a busy day out.”

The only real negative was the slightly 'functional' look to the downstairs bedroom. The shelving at both the foot of the bed and the kitchen side of the bedroom looked like the kind of thing you'd see in a garage, which combined with the adjoining utility room did make the bedroom feel a little like an afterthought rather than the main sleeping area. Just a few changes here would make a huge difference. Don't want to moan too much, though - the rest of the property was perfectly fine. :-)

“Was a lovely place, really well equipped, clean and comfortable.”

Amazing views with some interesting wildlife visiting (sheep in the morning). Hopefully book again for next year!

Gillian May 2023

“This was one of the best cottages we have rented in the Lakes.”

Comfortable sitting room with enough light for reading, very well equipped kitchen, sunny garden with lovely views. Our only criticism is the lack of garden furniture for outdoor dining: despite the cottage being advertised for 4 people, it was barely possible for 2 to eat outdoors using the tiny and very uncomfortable 'bistro' set. The cottage needs an outdoor dining table for 4.

- Gillian, May 2023

Thank you for your comments, we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and the views! We take all comments on board. We hope to welcome you again. The Heart of the Lakes Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Ann May 2023

“What a perfect cottage, lovely and comfortable, spotlessly clean, very well equipped all in all perfect!”

Just 2 points we used the cooker and washing machine but couldn’t find any instructions but we did eventually we found them in the middle draw of the window seat, would have been better left out!! The other point which is not the owners fault is the steep drive, anyone with walking difficulties might have trouble managing the climb but all in all a perfect cottage with amazing views, we will be booking again!

“Great location and a really comfortable and well equipped holiday cottage.”

Fantastic view over the valley to Lingmoor Fell.An excellent base for exploring the area on foot and by bike ! We very much enjoyed our stay and would love to come back another year

“Another glorious week in this comfortable, warm, well-equipped and well-maintained little house.”

So restful, and brilliantly located. Walks straight out of the door.

- Sophie, October 2022
Kim October 2022

“The property is lovely with everything that was needed and fabulous views.”

My issue is with the marketing of the property. It is advertised as dog friendly with a shared garden. The garden is mentioned more than once and is indeed a fabulous place. However when you get to the property there are large signs saying dogs aren’t to be in the garden. This should be made very clear at the point of booking. As a dog owner I would never book a property without access to a garden. I book cottages several times a year and have never encountered this. At best this is an oversight, at worst it is deliberately miss leading. I loved the cottage but no longer have any faith in the company.

- Kim, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback Mrs Watkinson. We are pleased that you found the property was everything you needed and enjoyed its location. Regarding the shared garden area, we have clarified the situation with the owner. Dogs are allowed, however as the area is shared with other cottage owners, dog owners are requested to supervise and clean up after their pet. There is a sign inside the cottage plus information in the welcome folder politely reminding pet owners of their responsibility, it doesn’t imply dogs aren’t allowed in the garden. Apologies for the mis understanding. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have now amended the information provided and we do hope that this doesn't deter you from booking with us again, The Heart of the Lakes team Property Owner
Sophie October 2022

“It’s a shame that guest Christine found the house dirty… when we stayed in the property it was spotless throughout.”

Faultless! We used public transport to get to the cottage and did all our walking straight out of the door. This is a real plus for this beautiful cottage. Usually in rental properties there are some store cupboard items like oil and sugar … but there is literally nothing at all except salt so … useful to know that you need to bring everything! However there is a very well equipped food shop and great cafe above it in the village, a couple of pubs AND A COCKTAIL BAR - which must be visited. Loved the place so much we re-booked for two weeks later! Phone service brilliant.

- Sophie, October 2022
Christine September 2022

“Views excellent, location great, walks straight from the door, cannot fault.”

We are regulars to staying in the village of Chapel Stile several times a year hence we know the area very well. Appliances in the property were very good and worked well, unfortunately though the overall standard throughout was not, the armchairs and couch are dirty, we put our own covers over so we could use the couch, the dining table chairs are filthy with food and stains. Housekeeping was terrible bins not emptied in the main bedroom and bathroom (had been left full of sanitary products!) had to clean before we could unpack, this property needs to have deep cleaning carried out before it is let again.

- Christine, September 2022

Dear Guest, we were sorry to hear that Lingmoor View was not as clean as you expected it to be. Please be advised that the Agency cleans the property and welcomes the opportunity to correct any issues that may arise, provided they are made known to us upon arrival. Thank you for your feedback.

Richard May 2022

“Great property and location.”

No complaints whatsoever. Really well furnished and very clean. We will be back for another holiday here. FYI the refuse was not collected on Thursday and now there are two full bins which might concern the next party in the property. Also, the ensuite toilet's overflow is running into the bowl which won't concern guests but could add to the owner's water bill.

- Richard, May 2022
John May 2022

“Position of and views from the cottage were superb.”

Ideal for walking in the fells( or to the pub) without using the car. Well equipped and comfortable accommodation although second bedroom had height restrictions.

Brenda October 2021

“An excellent rental, lovely views and really well looked after.”

Good provision of cooking utensils and the washing machine was super. The heating remained a mystery all week..either too hot or not on unless boosted but boost was set at 3 hours which then overheated the house. All four of us adults tried to make the tumble dryer work, using the instructions but it did not dry anything. We were otherwise extremely pleased and would happily book again.

- Brenda, October 2021
Michael September 2021

“Having the information folder hidden in an obscure storage basket on arrival was not helpful - we found it on our last day.”

Only downside on cleanliness was not down to your cleaners but previous occupants had left greasy utensils and roasting tray which was disappointing. Other than that cottage was excellent and the stunning views more than made up for the excitingly steep access road! Would be well worth mentioning to occupants the footpath which can be accessed just up the road to the quarry which saves the steep descent/ascent if walking into the village.

- Michael, September 2021
Leo August 2021

“Excellent cottage in a stunning location extremely well equipped presented and maintained.”

Definitely re-visit.

- Leo, August 2021
Stuart August 2021

“The hill leading up to the cottage should be classed as very steep as it requires 1st gear to get up as you cannot get a run at it.”

- Stuart, August 2021
Steve June 2021

“Excellent holiday in excellent location in excellent property!”

Only slight issue regarding bins (not clear which bin belonged to which property) and our bin being full to the brim when we arrived on Sat with no collection until end of week. We popped into the Keswick Office on the Monday just to advise of the issue - the 2 ladies staffing the office were very helpful.

- Steve, June 2021
John May 2021

“Absolutely super cottage, better than the pictures and the views couldn't be better.”

Reaching customer services has proved to hard at various times before and during the stay.

J May 2021

“The cottage equipment was extremely good ,the one little niggle was that we found the crockery rather large and heavy but we are both in our eighties , a directional reading lamp would have been appreciated, apart from that, the cottage was the best equipped we have stayed in,I felt that the owners must have stayed there to know what was needed, and we enjoyed very much the elevated position with open views of the nearby fells .”

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.
