Hi Rob & Sarah Thank you for your review and I hope you had a good time? I assume when you mentioned the appliances you meant the toaster & perhaps the kettle? Both had been ordered & were delivered yesterday, just waiting for me to take up to the cottage! I hope you had a safe journey home? Kind regards Linda

No problems with parking and allocated space outside of property. Wi-fi reliable although we were mostly out and about.Property clean throughout. Best feature was the location for us. Just a 5 min stroll into town for pubs, shops and cafes and also benefits from great walks being available from doorstep.

Cottage with a view

The lovely view from the lounge/diner makes the property, which was very well equipped and very well located in relation to the village centre and its many restaurants and shops. Our stay was enhanced by some really exceptional weather.

Lovely property in great location

We had a fantastic stay in Ambleside, largely due to the location of this property. A 5 minute walk from the centre of town and lots of restaurants and pubs but far enough away from the centre to be private. Amazing views. A little difficult to find in the first place but once we located it, all was good! Thank you!

February Half Term in Ambleside

We had a great week, the house has masses going for it, the view is great, it’s really convenient to pop into Ambleside but far enough away so it’s quiet. The beds are comfy, the house is warm and inviting, it has pretty much everything you need to be a home away from home. Thankyou

About the host

Hosted by Linda Lawler

Host profile image
When we bought the property we thought it would be a good investment, however it very quickly became so much more.

Over the years it has provided a very welcome escape from a hectic work schedule, I always return home feeling utterly relaxed, chilled and ready to face anything.

Lots of family & friends have been able to enjoy holidays here, we've spent many hours around the dinner table sharing special times and all eagerly await a return invitation.

Why they chose this property

If you are a Lakes lover, you will understand why we chose to buy in Ambleside. It is the centre of the hub. Offering all sorts of activities for different ages. We have never regretted the choice! And, made many happy memories.

What makes this property unique

within walking distance of the village, fells and transport links.

Warm, cosy and amazing views from every window.

Dedicated Parking & green area with external rear courtyard,

Fabulous walks, water activities, restaurants & cinemas right on the doorstep.
