Nothing :we didn’t like .Everything was perfect.Spent 3 nights here whilst storm darragh hit ,.so a welcome teabag ,coffee sachet I think would be a useful extra on arrival and maybe a Xmas decoration .Will Definatly book again .Thanks ##### Andrew This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clive Jul 23, 2025 #### Cosy Cosy. Heating worked well. Handy for shops, parking for one car very useful. Quiet location despite being in centre, on a nice quiet back street. Washing machine useful. Over all very pleased with our stay . Only I small bath towel each and one handtowel in bathroom. Would have liked a hand towel extra for drying hair and one extra for using in kitchen. No instructions for recycling so had to put it all in bin I'm afraid. If no dog staying maybe don't leave dog bed in the bedroom, I don't really like to think of dogs sleeping in there, as a non dog owner! ##### Clive This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Apr 21, 2024 #### A beautiful cottage in a great location. We loved Otters Holt and felt comfortable and at home there. It was a great base for exploring the area and the parking space was especially helpful. We found the front door a bit hard to open and the lounge door. May need lubricant or new lock barrel. One bedside light not working. ##### John This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia Oct 13, 2024 #### Lovely cottage in a brilliant location. Location was excellent, having parking in the town centre was brilliant. Clean, warm and comfortable. Everything you would need. Draining board didn't drain. Wardrobe door in main bedroom is a bit tricky. Shower should do with a warning on not to turn it passed number 2, the water is scalding hot. A few light bulbs out. But that's being really picky. ##### Patricia This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan Oct 20, 2024 #### Great location Really great sized cottage right in the centre of Ambleside (but down a quiet street).

Very convenient location in the town. Great that it has a parking space. The net curtains made it look unappealing from the outside. Maybe need replacing with something brighter. The uneven floor upstairs was weird! ##### Eleanor This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Nick Jan 4, 2025 #### Great location and property cosy but in need of updating The location is spot on.

Located in the heart of the town but very quite. Highly recommended ##### Rafal This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Aug 4, 2024 #### We had a wonderful week, cycling, hiking, eating out & in, relaxing in the sun, loved every minut The house was perfect for my son & I, perfect size, very cozy and comfortable & with its own parking. Very close to everything Ambleside offers but in a quiet street. Somewhere to sit outside would be nice, but to be honest, the park was only a few minutes walk & also Windermere itself isn’t far to walk either, with plenty of areas to sit in the sun. ##### Matthew This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renny Dec 17, 2023 #### Great position in the centre of Ambleside Great position in the centre of Ambleside, warm and cosy downstairs, the door was a challenge to unlock oncetwice as I think mentioned by a previous review but never stopped us getting in. Books and games available, TV, clean and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Many thanks. ##### Renny This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Duncan Dec 11, 2023 #### Lovely cottage in a perfect location. Everything you need is there and more. The property has a lovely home feeling and we couldn't have asked for anything else. The rain which even though the owners had ensured we had everything rain cant be prevented. ##### Duncan This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna Jan 20, 2024 #### I had the most perfect at Otters Holt! I had the most perfect at Otters Holt! The cottage was just described and what I had looking for as a cosy December pre- Christmas get away... extra touches there being a Christmas tree and decorations up to make you at home and a bit festive. I knew that some of Ambleside would be closed for the season, but still plenty to do in the area and some stunning walks straight from the cottages front door! I couldn't recommend the areacottage more! Also, Lucy's on a Plate (at the end of the road) had been recommended by two friends prior to going, and it was fabulous! ##### Anna
