• "The house was really great we had space and every conceivable tool or utensil."

  House was clean and well thought out. Lounge is a little dull … the trees blocking out the daylight in the summer… but that’s only a small thing. Plenty of room if you are a party of six. Garden spaces were really useful and having a BBQ was a great feature. All in all a fabulous holiday house

• "Hollybrook is a very generously equipped holiday let."

  We loved the prettily planted garden, the numerous seating areas inside and out and the fantastic location. Our party of 5 adults enjoyed the large living room space to sit and socialise together as well as the quiet seating areas to read or relax quietly. It’s a wonderful base for walking too and we appreciated being able to leave the car and walk for the day. Thank you

• "An amazing property, near enough to the centre, a short walk, but gardens secluded enough to feel you are in the middle of nowhere."

  Plenty of space outdoor and in for 6 adults. Everything you needed and more in the house. If we ever come back as a group, would stay here again.

  Ambleside is a great location for a break with plenty of eating and drinking establishments, walking is hood in the area and with bus fares only being £2 there’s loads to do

• "Probably the best equipped holiday cottage I have ever stayed in!"

  This cottage is clean, comfortable and in a brilliant location just minutes walk from the centre of Ambleside. It's private, with lovely outside sitting areas and is definitely a 'home from home'. Perfect!

  Thank you for your lovely comments, we maintain the house and gardens ourselves and work hard to ensure the house and gardens are the best they can be. We do want our guests to experience a home from home and are happy it is appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to give feedback here and in the guest book at Hollybrook. Kind regards Owners.

• "Very well equipped cottage, clean and comfortable."

  A really pleasant place to stay whilst enjoying Ambleside and the surrounding countryside. The house is a short steep-ish walk from the town centre but not especially onerous.

  Thank you from the owners - we do attempt to keep our property house and gardens in the best condition we can and are pleased it is appreciated. Property Owner

• "Another great holiday at Hollybrook."

  Ideal location to explore the Lakes. Lovely 5 min walk into Ambleside. Really spacious and comfortable house. Fabulous garden overlooking the woods so plenty of wildlife to watch. Take bird seed and peanuts, you won't be disappointed! Look out for the deer who visits the garden early evening. Lots of good quality garden furniture both in the front and back of the property to enjoy an early morning cup of tea or cool beer in the afternoon. Only negative was the property wasn't quite as clean as I expected. Nothing major just lack of attention to detail. Food left in cupboard, crumbs in food cupboard, crumbs on wooden chopping board, crumbs under toaster, pans and baking trays really greasy (probably put through the dishwasher without a tablet), indoor bin dirty and quite a few cobwebs. However, there was cleaning items under the sink so cleaned it myself. Recommend putting all crockery, cutlery and pans through dishwasher on arrival. That aside, this is a super holiday accommodation, it was my 4th visit and I would definitely be back.

• "The property was warm and cosy it had everything we needed, would stay again."

  Only a few minor issues oven was smoking due to previous people I suppose not cleaning after they used and must of burnt something. Everything thing else was clean and more than enough of what you need. We had beautiful weather and the property made it more enjoyable. Thank you for our stay would return.

• "Another fabulous holiday at Hollybrook."

  Looking forward to going back in May. Feedback for the owners is to put a large clothes dryer in the property. The house is for 6 people but the clothes dryer is so small you can only fit one walking kit on it. This meant the tumble drier was constantly on the go. In light of energy prices being so high this really is not a good option and an un-necessary expense to the owner. The massive utility room could take a big clothes dryer for a large family. Also, please change the tea cosy. Someone has burnt it and it looks really grubby. Thank you.

• "The entry on the website and photos seriously under sell the quality of Hollybrook."

  Especially its setting and garden. We were very pleasantly surprised as to what we encountered in a good way and we have vast experience of Lake District accommodation. A very well equipped and delightful house which we enjoyed immensely. Thank you.

  Thank you for you kind comments. We work hard gardening the property ourselves and keeping on top of the house maintenance. We are looking into how the property is marketed/portrayed. Thanks again. The Owners. Property Owner

• "House was lovely and in a great location."

  Extremely clean and very relaxing place, the beds are very comfy and the tv packages are great, he only slight negative is the cutlery could do with a slight upgrade. The other negative is nothing to do with the holiday home but the company we booked this through, we lost some of the daughters soft toys and despite ringing and chasing as they must have been left in the house nobody rang us back, very poor.

  House was perfect, lots of space inside and out. Very clean and well equipped. Lovely having Stock Ghyll Force at bottom of garden. Good location and only short walk to centre. Bit tricky to find, could do with clearer directions. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

• "We had a lovely stay at Hollybrook."

  The house is spacious, comfy and very clean. We slept very soundly on our comfortable beds. The only slight niggle concerned the door handles/locks. We are used to low tech. doors where the handles and locks are quite separate. I opened the french window and couldn’t close it again and also struggled with the outside front door and the one from the Conservatory to the garden (once locked couldn’t get back in). So an explanation of how they work would be very helpful :-). Aside from that our stay was wonderful and we certainly look forward to visiting again.
