Cottage ideally located for village centre and walking in area. Only criticism is kitchen area lacking oven gloves and a baking tray for pizzas , etc ##### Neil Mottershead This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Sue Williams 7 Jul 2025 #### Lovely old cottage in the old part of Ambleside. Lovely old cottage in the old part of Ambleside.. just off the main road but quiet, and with its own garage nearby. It has a small courtyard with table and chairs. It was a bit less well equipped than most places we have rented but there are shops nearby selling everything, and of course plenty of restaurants and pubs. Great walks and hikes from the door. ##### Sue Williams This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Aidan Gallacher 8 May 2025 #### A lovely wee cottage in an excellent spot, a few minutes walk to all that Ambleside has to offer. A lovely wee cottage in an excellent spot, a few minutes walk to all that Ambleside has to offer. The table out the front door gets loads of sunshine throughout the day and it's a very quite spot despite being so close to everything. Having access to the garage is also great. The cottage is generally well equipped but the kitchen has some strange things missing like a grill tray. Also, having only one big bag, one roll of toilet roll and no soap seems a bit limited. ##### Aidan Gallacher ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth W. 18 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ambleside getaway 3 glorious days walking Evening access to great restaurants We will return! ##### Elizabeth W.
