Bed super comfy, really enjoyed our stay, great walk straight opposite as well. THANK YOU XX ##### Vanessa A. ### 8/10 Good #### Gill S. Apr 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great outdoor space and lovely scenery at the back Lovely cottage, compact but enough space for two of us and our furry friend. The outside space was perfect for Sasha. There is some road noise but it didn't stop us sleeping well. A little further from Ambleside than we thought though it is walkable. We would stay here again. ##### Gill S. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason C.

Close to all the amenities, yet still peaceful. ##### Jason C. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna R. Jan 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Christmas break near Ambleside Very cute cottage in a lovely setting with views over the river to the rear. Cottage was clean and. cosy with lovely bathroom and well fitted kitchen. Small fenced private garden with larger shared area to the rear - would be lovely to sit out in summer but we didn’t have the best of weather this time. Only negative for us was that the cottage is on the main road and didn’t feel safe walking along it from the door to Ambleside with the 2 dogs, but plenty of good walks within a short drive. Tip for other bookers would be to write down the key box code before you get there as very little mobile phone service at the cottage and struggled to get the app to load to retrieve it when we arrived ##### Donna R.

This was the perfect place for a weekend away. Both myself and my partner loved the lake at the bottom of the garden and I was lucky enough to see wild deer. The cottage itself was beautiful and well presented. We'll hopefully visit again soon. ##### tracy b. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### steven t.
