    “We were so happy that Sykes Cottages helped us out, after being disappointed with the National Trust at the last minute.”

    The property was clean and warm and very spacious. We were very comfy , in some very cold and wet weather- well it’s the Lakes!! We had to chip packed ice off the steps outside which were very dangerous- no grit or salt available and parking for cars was challenging. More toilet rolls would have been appreciated!! Overall, we had a lovely 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.
