Cottage

A room with a white table, a potted plant, a door with an exit sign, and a patterned bed.

7 Grade II Listed Cosy Cottage Free Parking

Ambleside Town Centre

"Excellent location to explore the Lake District. Very clean house! It was an experience in itself! Very clear instructions everywhere in the house! Loved it! Would highly recommend!"

Cottage

A wooden deck with a metal railing overlooking a river, surrounded by lush greenery.

Riverbank

Ambleside

"It was a great location. We did find the car park a little bit tight and tricky to get into (as the road was fairly busy when we arrived). The cottage was great and had all we were after and the downstairs bathroom was great for my elderly Mum. The two single beds mattresses were a bit past their best so the only thing I’d suggest to improve the property would be an update of those. Otherwise it was a great place to stay right on the river."

Cottage

A stone building with multiple windows, a door, and a street lamp.

Ambleside Cottage with free private parking

Ambleside Town Centre

"Great location and great, safe private parking spot. Cottage is clean, spacious and cosy. Cottage is a little old fashioned, and needs a bit of TLC but the basics are all there and some nice touches- milk in fridge, bread, butter, eggs, tea coffee etc supplied. Would stay again as reasonably priced for what it is."

Cottage

A living room with a sofa, a coffee table, a bookshelf, and a television.

Ramblers Rest

Ambleside

"Amazing views from the place and a very cosy little apartment for two maybe a little bit less clutter and wires around the house would’ve been nicer. There is no need for so many gadgets like sky box BT players CD players music hi-fi."

Cottage

Buttonhole Cottage

Ambleside

"Beautiful central little cottage which has everything you could possibly need. Exceptionally clean and the most comfortable bed. Pet friendly with extra throws for the furniture. Lovely little touches like chocolates, milk, tea and fruit on arrival. Fresh flowers too. Easy walk into town and good roads to surrounding areas."

Cottage

A modern kitchen with white cabinetry, a wooden countertop, and a dining area with a table set for two.

Fell View

Ambleside

"Fell View is the most lovely get-away cottage. It is perfect for two people! I love where it is, and despite being in the middle of town, it seemed private, and cosy. I wish we could have stayed longer. I could not recommend this cottage highly enough."

Cottage

A residential area with a view of a lake, a green hill, and terraced houses in the background.

Waterhead Retreat

Ambleside

"We had an excellent stay with an amazing view of lake Windermere. Our two boys had good reviews of the apartment which is unusual. The apartment was very well kept and very comfortable ♥️"

Cottage

A garden with a stone pathway leading to a wooden pergola with chairs.

Yew Tree Cottage

Ambleside

"The cottage is well equipped for self-catering for a family of 4. The beds are very comfortable and there is plenty of space in the living / dining areas. Quiet and with easy access to the heart of Ambleside, it is in a great location."

Cottage

A spacious living room with a large window, a sofa set, a round mirror, and a lamp.

Elton's Escape

Windermere

"Our stay at Elton’s Escape was lovely. The caravan is nicely decorated with a cosy, welcoming vibe, and its location made it perfect for visiting Ambleside and Windermere. The living/dining area was fresh and welcoming, unlike many dog-friendly caravans which often carry an odour. Wi-Fi was excellent too. When we arrived, the caravan hadn’t yet been cleaned after the previous guests, but once we called the helpline, the on-call cleaning team responded promptly and resolved the issue. One thing...

Cottage

Yanway Cottage

Windermere

"Great little cottage in peaceful location. Nearly all perfect and value for money, the only downside is the mattress was terrible, felt like lumpy concrete and impossible for a good nights sleep"
