7 Grade II Listed Cosy Cottage Free Parking

Ambleside Town Centre

"Excellent location to explore the Lake District. Very clean house! It was an experience in itself! Very clear instructions everywhere in the house! Loved it! Would highly recommend!"

Cottage

Riverbank

Ambleside

"It was a great location. We did find the car park a little bit tight and tricky to get into (as the road was fairly busy when we arrived). The cottage was great and had all we were after and the downstairs bathroom was great for my elderly Mum. The two single beds mattresses were a bit past their best so the only thing I’d suggest to improve the property would be an update of those. Otherwise it was a great place to stay right on the river."

Cottage

An outdoor seating area with a table and two chairs, surrounded by trees and a view of the landscape.

Ramblers Rest

Ambleside

"Amazing views from the place and a very cosy little apartment for two maybe a little bit less clutter and wires around the house would’ve been nicer. There is no need for so many gadgets like sky box BT players CD players music hi-fi."

Cottage

A garden with a stone pathway leading to a wooden pergola with chairs.

Yew Tree Cottage

Ambleside

"The cottage is well equipped for self-catering for a family of 4. The beds are very comfortable and there is plenty of space in the living / dining areas. Quiet and with easy access to the heart of Ambleside, it is in a great location."

Cottage

A stone pathway with red leaves, a stone wall, and a tree with red leaves.

Waterhead Retreat

Ambleside

"We had an excellent stay with an amazing view of lake Windermere. Our two boys had good reviews of the apartment which is unusual. The apartment was very well kept and very comfortable ♥️"

Cottage

Elton's Escape

Windermere

"Our stay at Elton’s Escape was lovely. The caravan is nicely decorated with a cosy, welcoming vibe, and its location made it perfect for visiting Ambleside and Windermere. The living/dining area was fresh and welcoming, unlike many dog-friendly caravans which often carry an odour. Wi-Fi was excellent too. When we arrived, the caravan hadn’t yet been cleaned after the previous guests, but once we called the helpline, the on-call cleaning team responded promptly and resolved the issue. One thing...

Cottage

Yanway Cottage

Windermere

"Great little cottage in peaceful location. Nearly all perfect and value for money, the only downside is the mattress was terrible, felt like lumpy concrete and impossible for a good nights sleep"

Absolutely perfect! Kevin and Tracey have created such a lovely B&B. The decor, the extra touches like plenty of coffee and tea choices in the room, lovely furnishings, breakfast so lovingly made and Kevin and Tracey are so lovely. They’ve gone the extra mile and have given us the perfect stay. Close to shops and restaurants, transport and lake ferries. We could not have asked for a nicer experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our six night stay at the Salutation Hotel based right in the heart of Ambleside. The room was quite spacious and well appointed with views over the town. service was very pleasant and helpful and the included breakfast was of a high standard. Parking was sometimes a bit tight but we always managed a spot. there are many excellent restaurants close by and, of course, Ambleside is a good central location from which to explore the Lakes. highly recommended.
