  • "This house had the wow factor for us (family of 5 & a dog)."

    It is modern, spotlessly clean and in a great position in Ambleside. The parking directly outside was so convenient. The house is thoughtfully decorated with maps of walks & board games to play. Every bedroom has a large smart TV. Walking distance of coop and Tesco’s express as well as restaurants & gift shops & central for hikes. The only downside side which we knew about before we booked is the lack of a garden or court yard for the dog. It wasn’t a problem though as there is a church yard 5 mins walk away we took her to when she needed to go out. We would definitely recommend and would love to stay again if ever back in the lakes.

    Thank you so much for your kind comments, it’s makes the 9 months of designing the re-configuration of the house and the year with builders in worthwhile. It’s all about Location and it doesn’t get more central than “Quarters” in Ambleside. We love staying there when it’s feee and are glad you enjoyed it too! Mike & Rachel Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Quarters Cottage in Ambleside and it was perfect for our needs this Christmas."

    The cottage was cosy, comfortable, clean and well equipped, making it an ideal base for our trip. The owners truly went above and beyond by providing a lovely hamper of goodies, along with thoughtful gifts and decorations, which made us feel very welcome. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and would highly recommend it to others.

    Thank you for your kind 5 star review of our property, we are really pleased you had a wonderful stay over Christmas! Property Owner

  • "We stayed at Charters in Ambleside for three nights, and it was everything we’d hoped for during a special 70th family celebration."

    The house is beautifully set up with three large king-size bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, plus a spacious family bathroom. The lounge and kitchen are roomy and well stocked, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time together. The location is fantastic—right in the centre of Ambleside close to shops and restaurants—yet the double glazing keeps everything peaceful. And to top it all there are 2 parking spaces right outside with an electric car charging point. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

    Thank you for your kind response, we are glad you had a good stay in Quarters, it makes all the hard work renovating it worth while, we really appreciate the positive feedback. Property Owner

  • "A lovely modern property right in the middle of Ambleside."

    Spacious bedrooms and comfortable living area, which we've been to three times now. We've only ever visited as a 4 (two adults, two kids) so have been spoiled for space - it's possible it might feel a little cramped in the living areas if it was full with 8 people, but the location means you could be out and about in Ambleside and the Lakes all the time anyway! Parking and EV charging are an added bonus!

    Thank you for your kind response, when renovating the property the criteria was to have spacious bedrooms all en-suite with a cosy communal living space. The EV parking spaces are always a bonus right in the centre of Ambleside. Although once parked there’s little need to move your car as everything you need is right on your doorstep! Property Owner

    It is well equipped with everything you need. We will definitely stay here again.

    Thank you for your terrific feedback after your stay at Quarters. Quarters is an absolute gem in the heart of Ambleside and no need for your car. Lakelovers Property Owner

  • "The property is very nice and we would have given 5 stars but two things happened that disappointed."

    First we could not get in the property until 5.15 so we all had to wait in the street which wasn't great. Second there were no toilet rolls so we had to buy these Friday then 4 rolls appeared Saturday. Having said the above we would like to stay there again its a lovely place and just needed the maintenance to be a litlle better

  • "The Location was ideal, but that was expected as it was the main reason for being chosen rather than other options."

    The timings set for the heating to come on and go off were inadequate considering it was the end of February. It particularly affected the two main bedrooms on the first floor. However the ground floor ok as it has an electric fire. There was no heating, towel or toilet paper in the ground floor loo.and no small niceties in the kitchen or bathrooms. The overall impression was disappointing.

  • "The house was fantastic."

    Perfectly kitted out, furnishings very good quality. Beds and showers were of very high standard. Quality of bed-linen and towels was very good. Kitchen was well equipped. The location is perfect too for access to the multitude of very good restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops which Ambleside has. Guest book had lots of very helpful information regarding walks and things to do in the area. A lot of effort has gone into making a stay in the property a good one. We had issues with wi-fi. When we followed instructions in cottage manual, message said password was incorrect. We solved it by then connecting to the tp-link addresses and this worked to get us wi-fi. I think the instructions in the manual need amended.

    Thank you for your kind comments. Thank you. Property Owner

    A welcome pack at the property with Information on Wi-Fi code, use of appliances ( as some may not be familiar with the various products) would be useful with some suggested things to do near by, restaurants etc Property was excellent - parking a little tight for 2 big cars Hope to return at some point in the future

  • "We loved staying here as it is in a central location."

    The facilities were great and the decor and furnishings were excellent. As a suggestion the bedroom windows could do with blackout blinds. We stayed here as a family for 3 nights and would highly recommend.

    Thank you for your positive comments, the bedroom windows are tilt and turn safety exit windows and have to fully open within the deep window recesses and attached Venetian blinds were the only option given to us by Hillary’s Property Owner

Where you’ll be staying

View on map

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants, and pubs in the village to suit all tastes, including the popular eateries of Misto, Sheila's Cottage, and The Lily Bar. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
