“Another excellent stay”

This clean and cosy cottage is ideal for 2. Off street parking is a bonus in ambleside. Town centre just around the corner and a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction brings you to lake windermere. Plenty eateries and pubs near by and Tesco Express, coop, spar and a few local specialist shops if you fancy eating in. Would highly recommend this lovely cottage. There's also a little seating area outside if you fancy dining al fresco, or just a relaxing drink, gazing at the hills.

“Beautifully presented cottage in superb location.”

A short level 5 min walk into town. All facilities you could want are provided and the car parking spot invaluable. Particularly impressed with the central heating and hot water system. V easy to regulate and the cottage warmed v quickly after a day out. Comfy bed, well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge area. Bathroom has superb shower over the bath and the welcome treats in the bathroom and kitchen were a lovely touch. We shall definitely return.

“Cottage really lived up to our expectations , even had a few christmas treats left for us by the owners , nice thought”

- Mr Banks, December 2019
“Another lovely week in Ambleside made special by staying at this lovely terraced cottage.”

It was so convenient to either take a 6 or 7 minute walk into the town or walk the other way to the lake in a similar time. Well furnished with dishwasher and washing machine and beautifully decorated and sparkling clean. We will return. Thank you.

“Good central location and spotlessly clean, near a busy road but road noise ...”

Good central location and spotlessly clean, near a busy road but road noise minimal due to building design, altogether a nice place (needs a new sofa though)

- Mr Barrigan, November 2019
“No.”

- Mr Stavers, September 2019
“A clever photographer has made the property look bigger than it actually is.”

Entrance to the property is from the pavement adjacent to the busy A591, quiet inside though. Bed very comfy, best sleep we’ve had for years

- Mr Hart, September 2019
“Ease of access to shops lake & gardens centre”

- Mr Sheppard, July 2019
“A beautiful, clean and cosy cottage.”

A nice size for 2 people, and you have a parking space next to the cottage. There's a nice little area to sit out on an evening, with all glass of wine, looking up at the need gorgeous greenery around you. Only 15 minute walk from Waters Edge at Windermere where you can go on cruises around the lake. A 2 minute stroll and you're at all the fine eateries and pubs. Have a wonder around all the side streets to find all Ambleside has to offer, quite a few hidden gems. A great place to stay.

- Miss Fairweather, June 2019
“Spotless. Modern.”

Car park space really handy.. location fabulous

- Mrs Glover, June 2019
“Great cottage, great week .”

.... even the weather was on our side. Liked it so much were thinking of staying again next year.

- Mr Dettman, June 2019
“The cottage is exactly as described in the advert.”

What more could a visitor want. One big plus point. It is only two minutes walk from Church View to bus stop, with regular services to most parts of the Lakes. So we did not use the car all week. A result.

- Mr Burridge, May 2019
“Lovely cottage in a prime location with the added bonus of a parking space.”

Very clean and everything you need in the kitchen. Great comfy bed, nice bathroom with a very good shower and a super funky tap !! We really enjoyed our week.

- Mrs Cain, April 2019
“Two points we would make to make useful improvements: 1.”

We found it hard to read in bed as the bedside lamps were so dim; 2. The instruction book could helpfully explain that if there is no sound on Sky or DVD player it is because the scart plugs are not sufficiently firmly pushed home. We appreciated the welcoming gifts. See also our appreciative comments in visitors' book. Many thanks. CPN

- Mr Nobes, March 2019
“Excellent location.”

Very cosy and comfortable cottage, with great facilities. Did not need to move the car all week, so much to do within walking distance if you like the outdoors.

- Mrs Jones-booth, February 2019
“Perfect location for town, pubs, restaurants, the lake and many walks.”

Cottage was clean and warm with a lovely welcome pack. We will book again

- Mr Fordyce, January 2019
“Great location and as always a lovely cottage to stay in.”

- Mr Newell, December 2018
“We really enjoyed our week at this lovely cottage.”

Its location is perfect with just a five or six minute walk into the town. It can't be under-estimated how important the car parking space is in this bustling town where car parking charges are high. The cottage itself was really clean and beautifully decorated. We were impressed with the layout and and how everything seemed to have been thought of. We would recommend this cottage to anyone and are really looking forward to returning when time permits. There was nothing that could have been improved. Many thanks to all concerned.

- Mr Bell, December 2018
“The Cottage was clean and well equipped.”

A Welcome Basket left for us was a nice touch. Although located close to road it was a quiet environment. Also a bonus to have own parking space next to Cottage. We were made aware we could contact Manager if we had any problems which we did not require. We had a lovely stay with walks from the door in all directions and a warm comfy Cottage to return to. We look forward to a return visit.

- Mrs Hart, November 2018
“We've been with Sykes a number of times & most of the time the properties have been fine.”

Church View cottage was certainly not 4 ticks, parts of it didn't look as though it had been cleaned fully, it had a musty smell when we went in which we couldn't completely get rid of by opening doors & windows wide. The upstairs was ok, the bed was comfy, but downstairs the settee was very uncomfortable & the chairs to the breakfast bar were difficult to sit on. Found the living room extremely small & dull, no warmth in it at all. Compared to other cottages we have stayed in with Sykes, we found this one to be of poor standard & not meeting our expectations of a 4 tick property. Proximity to Ambleside town was good for walking, evening meals & entertainment.

- Mrs Charlesworth, October 2018

Thank you for your comments and I am sorry that you were not fully satisfied with your stay. We take great pride in our property and feel that this has always been reflected in our very good feedback. We have not had any reports of the sofa or chairs being uncomfortable before but appreciate that this is subjective. We do believe that the pictures and description are a true reflection of the property and have always had very high cleanliness standards. We will ensure that this is checked and maintained to ensure that our guests continue to enjoy Church View. Sykes owner relations
“Good cottage, well situated for all amenities and the town center , also nearer to the lake about a 10-15 minute walk, we really enjoyed this cottage holiday and the owner texted messaged to say we could arrive early which was a big bonus.”

Parking for one small car off road is also a big bonus. we would definitely recommend to friends and family.

- Mr Dobb, September 2018
“We loved our stay in Church View cottage, it was clean, comfortable and had everything you could possibly need for your stay.”

Just a few minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside to shops, cafes pubs etc. A walk up to the waterfall is a must. Would definitely stay here again.

- Mrs Winstanley, August 2018
“Clean,cosy cottage in ideal location with good parking,one of our best holidays yet”

- Mr Turrell, July 2018
“The cottage is on a busy one way street so care must be taken when parking and reversing from the space provided.”

The parking space is small and parking a large car would be very difficult. The bedroom is at the rear of the cottage so traffic noise is not a problem at night. The cottage is close to Ambleside shops so it is best to leave the car at the cottage and walk in to the town.

- Mr Smyth, June 2018
“Church View is a lovely cottage well situated in Ambleside with all amenities in easy walking distance.”

The cottage is compact and well equipped with everything we needed. The small patio is great for al fresco dining and drinks with a great view over the hillside. Lots of restaurants to choose from as well as a local supermarket for supplies. Well situated for walking and there is a small porch for muddy boots and wet coats. Just a short walk from Lake Windermere and boat trips with take you around the lake. Great cottage.

- Mr Halldearn, June 2018
“Comfottable, Cute , Complete and Convenient”

The title says it all ! Minutes and a relatively flat walk to Ambleside which was as wondreful as ever.

- PAUL R, April 2018
“Fantastic cottage, extremely well presented in every detail.”

Great location Amazing staff attention

- Mrs Burgon, February 2018
“The truly perfect holiday cottage for 2.”

This cottage was perfectly placed within Ambleside for our walking holiday. Parking was safe, off-road and right by the property (a rarity in this area). All local amenities were only a short distance away. The décor was lovely and the furnishings were adequate. There was plenty of storage and an entrance hall for wet boots and coats was brilliant (even though the sun shone on us for the whole week!) There was everything we could have needed from soap and washing up liquid to pegs and an airer. There were even DVDs, plenty of information leaflets and wine!! The heated towel rail was great and so was the fact that the heating was programmed to come on and off. We loved staying here and didn't want to leave.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 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. 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.
