Lovely accommodation.
Lovely accommodation. Very comfortable in a quiet location but literally a few minutes walk from the centre. The only down side, as others have mentioned, is you have to take a detour to the Windermere office of cottages.com to collect the keys and drop them off again. Wouldn't put me off staying here again but maybe they could look at a location in Ambleside itself where keys can be collected/returned?
