Great little cottage in a great location

Fabulous location: 1 minute from the bus station, and central to shops & restaurants. The kitchen was spacious and generously equipped. The bed was comfortable. Towels were of good quality and the hot water was plentiful. The shower temperature was easily controlled, as was the heat. I definitely recommend Birchcroft.

Ambleside - Birchcroft

Great property to stay at. So central for everything in Ambleside. Property is well appointed. Great living room, good dining area and kitchen so well furnished, with washing machine and a dishwasher. Property was well stocked. The 2 bedrooms upstairs are a generous size, one with en-suite and the other had the main Bathroom right beside it. Good showers and lovely towels. Bedding was like hotel bedding. My only slight, and I mean slight constructive bit of criticism, is that the pillows in the en-suite bedroom could be doing with renewing. They are so lumpy and bumpy, but apart from that, excellent stay and we would use it again.

The cottage was clean and the accommodations were very nice. Information about the hob, washing machine, television, etc. was readily available, and the instructions were very clear. The location was excellent for food, walking and shopping. We really enjoyed our stay there. The only thing I would want people to know is to stop at the Tesco and pick up kitchen roll as there wasn't any in the cottage.
