The bathroom has a wonderful bath that must be up there with the longest in the north of England and comes complete with all the little extras you would expect in a good hotel. Beds are comfy and the kitchen everything you need - except a cook! Was working on a difficult job in Ambleside but as soon as I opened the front door of the Shambles I felt time had slowed down and it was time to relax for the evening. Brilliant place to stay.

Lots of games, good wifi reception so children happy. The owner was really helpful with the couple of queries we had. The only downside might be that the dedicated parking is a little walk away (not surprising really as the cottage is in centre of town), but if you're out all day, the overnight parking permit in town works really well. (And able to park outside cottage to load & unload) I'd love to go back, thank you ##### Sue From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Mar 10, 2019 #### Lovely cottage in the heart of Ambleside.
