Courtyard Cottage

We had a great time at the courtyard cottage.

We loved the beautiful garden near the water. The house was great, dogfriendly, clean and had everything we needed. While Ambleside was a bit more bustling than we prefer, this was not an issue as there were numerous opportunities to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and also the walks directly from the house.

Lovely cottage.

Very clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed the shared garden.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Courtyard Cottage.

Property is very well equipped and comfortable. Good location. Bus stop very close and bus service was regular and reliable. Would stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Courtyard Cottage and would happily return again-superb base for exploring the Lakes.

The cottage was excellent and extremely clean and well maintained. The local bus service is excellent and would highly recommend to avoid high parking charges and lack of availability at busy times. A couple of hopefully helpful comments as very reluctant to appear critical- A fly/midge screen would be useful for the rear door A grab rail or two would really help in the shower-I have a neurological condition that affects my balance and planned ahead by bringing suction grips which thankfully worked fine but as reassurance to others think would be a good addition. Many thanks nonetheless for a great week and we would highly recommend to others. Kind Regards Chris,Tracey and Jake.

We had a fantastic week in the cottage!

It was very comfortable, well equipped and great location! The Wi-Fi worked great, it was great having a car parking space and it was convenient for walks right from the cottage. We would recommend this place to anyone!

Probably the best equipped cottage we have stayed in.

Great location for walk to town or bus there and back. Road noise was an issue if sitting outside as was the speed of traffic passing. Shower was very good , but for us the bed was on the soft side. No privacy in the main bedroom and no window locks to allow fresh air in.

A wonderful cottage.

All of the furniture is comfortable, all of the equipment in the kitchen works really well, and the bathroom is spacious with a lovely walk in shower. We thought the road noise might be a nuisance as it is right on the main road, but we didn't notice it very much. The garden wall is at such a height that you can't really see the traffic either, so it was fine. It's in a great spot for driving to other areas, and there is a half hour stroll on a safe pavement into Ambleside with great views all the way.

Great location within easy reach to some great walks.

The cottage was well equipped and extremely clean and well presented . It was lovely, warm and welcoming Enclosed garden at front was great as we had our dog with us so didn’t have to worry about him getting out. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again

An absolute gem of a property.

The house was cosy, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The location is perfect, allowing easy walks into Ambleside and through the surrounding hills, with superb views. Local bus stops just a few metres from the house, which was so easy to use & saved driving. We will definitely book this property again. Highly recommended.

Once again we had a great week at Courtyard Cottage.

The house was very welcoming when we arrived and lovely and cosy to relax in during these dark nights. We have stayed here a few times now and found everything we needed for our stay. In fact we have booked again and look forward to going back in about 6 weeks time. There was only one problem we had and that was the shower was very slow to drain as the week went on. We left a note for the cleaner to advise of this problem when we left on Saturday morning.

Only have one 'gripe', a full length mirror would have been very helpful.

The bed is the most comfortable we have experienced in any cottage/house let. We looked forward to our evenings here, very relaxed, quiet and comfortable. Definitely recommend.

Great cottage to spend a breaj in the lake district.

One point for improvement, the couch...

The property is ideally located with ample parking and the accommodation internally is generous.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The only thing we hated was the double bed mattress really needs renewing as it has a terrible camber and left us aching each night. Also pricewise it is probably about £70 too much for the week we stayed given whats actually available on site compared to others we have stayed at in and around ambleside. Can we also suggest fitting a post box to the outside of the yard as the postman caused a right cafuffel with our dog nearly running out onto the road for the skate of a dominoes leaflet even though we had the gate bolted.

Once again a fantastic stay in the excellent cottage, everything you need for a stay away, clean, comfortable, well equipped, will definitely be back to stay soon Andy & Fiona Co Durham

Bedroom reasonably comfortable , kitchen and bathroom good.

Lounge seating not very comfortable strength seems to have gone out of the seat pads you sunk down nearly sat on the floor , very limited tv stations we have previously stayed in another cottage in the courtyard they had free view much better. We only used the downstairs rooms so a net up at the windows would afford more privacy as when curtains open you are open to all passers by .outside patio ok .could hardly use as it never stopped raining . private garden across the road very nice addition .

Beautiful cottage in a great location.

Very well equipped. The bed was super comfy which is a rarity in a holiday cottage. Had an issue with the shower not draining which was reported on Saturday morning and it was fixed same day. Had a fantastic holiday

Lovely cottage.

In a great location for walking and sightseeing, had a quiet relaxing week. Highly recommend.

Another great week in a very well equipped cottage.

This is our second stay and we have already booked for next year to come back

We had a lovely week at courtyard cottage, the property was clean and comfy and had a lovely garden.

The location of the property was also ideal to walk into Ambleside or to the lake and get the boat. We loved our stay here and will be back!

Had a really lovely break at Courtyard Cottage.

Road is noisy during the day but quiet at night. Cottage was comfortable and clean and the shower was wonderful. Only about 10-15 min walk in to Ambleside too. We’ll definitely be back.

Really sweet cottage in a lovely place.

Extremely well equipped and absolutely spotless. The beams in one of the upstairs rooms were a bit low (!) but apart from that it was perfect. Thank you

Lovely cottage finished to a high standard and perfectly clean.

A great place to stay.

Have stayed in other cottages around the courtyard and will certainly return here. Very clean and warn especially as it had snowed when we were there. :Loved the shower room.

Wonderful little cottage!

We stay every year and it is the first time we have stayed in winter. On arriving, the cottage heated up well and the boiler was easy to use. The facilities are fab and as described! Loved it! Will book again next year!

This is our second visit to Courtyard Cottage and again enjoyed our stay.

Ideally situated close to Ambleside and all amenities. Cottage is very comfortable and warm with anything you could possibly need. We hope to return in the future. We had only one complaint the gate into the property was hanging off when we arrived due to the wood having rotted on the gate post and despite having reported it twice to the office was still not fixed when we left. It is quite a heavy gate and since it is only held by the spring is now quite dangerous. Hence the low score for maintenance.

You are totally aware of the problems we immediately encountered on our arrival at our holiday cottage (Courtyard Cottage, Clappersgate).

Firstly, it was absolutely freezing and we could not find any controls for the heating - (and this was on a cold winter's day!). Eventually we found the boiler - no assistance nor information on heating controls etc in the owner's manual!!! Managed to turn boiler on and get some heating on the go - however upstairs radiators DID NOT WORK! We informed you of this immediately. We had to wrap a large blanket around us for the rest of the evening as we were freezing cold. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT NO ATTEMPT TO HEAT THIS PROPERTY WAS MADE BY YOU OR THE OWNER!!!! Shocking. Secondly, when trying to turn on TV (smart) there was no connection to wifi. Followed brief instructions in owner's manual but these were useless. Having telephoned you again because there was no wifi (and Mr Vipond needed this for his work), you eventually got in touch with owner who advised that there actually had just been a new wifi connection (Vodaphone) installed but there was no instructions at all or reference to this (why not??) - very misleading. Mr Vipond proceeded to follow some instructions he found on the windowsill beside router - HOWEVER, the wifi would still not connect - EVEN WHEN THE OWNER SIMPLY PROVIDED BASIC INFORMATION. Mr Vipond is a digital forensics investigator and after troubleshooting this particular problem (in the freezing cold conditions), he realised the connection that was recently installed was intermittent and needed proper secure installation. Mr Vipond managed to get a temporary secure connection (but Vodaphone needed to come back for the owner's sake and for further guests not to have similar problem). Somehow, you - Sykes have not acknowledged these problems and the owner seems to have been absolutely indifferent to our plight and Mr Vipond's work on making good the facilities at this property!!!! We are aghast that no apology for our freezing cold conditions and no gratitude for the work carried out (and no apology for the misleading instructions in owner's manual!!) by Mr Vipond to make good the wifi connection has been acknowledged!. WE asked for a refund but were totally rejected by you and by the owner!!!! This is not how we expected to start our well-earned holiday and this is absolutely NOT HOW WE EXPECTED TO HAVE BEEN TREATED/IGNORED and that NO REFUND HAS MATERIALISED. We would welcome your comments once more.

Very clean and comfortable.

Shame no logs there to start the visit

Came to the lakes to celebrate my husbands birthday.

Cottage was lovely and clean, really comfy beds and everything you need for a self catering holiday. Cosy rooms and fab log burner. If your on the tall side the one single bedroom in the roof space has quite low ceilings. Only small issue would be the sound of the traffic from around 6.30-7am as cottage is just off a busy main road. Cottage is really close to Ambleside and if you don't want to walk or drive , taxis are excellent and readily available. Lovely little courtyard to sit out in and quaint garden just over the main road to overlook the river. Would definitely return.

Absolutely lovely cottage, extremely comfortable and clean in great location- easy walk into Ambleside- thank you so much we had a wonderful stay.

A lovely, well appointed cottage in an excellent location.

The only minor negatives were a bit of noise from the road and the low ceiling height in the upstairs bedrooms.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Madelyn

Charming, comfortable cottage which is very well equipped.

Super comfy beds. The kids especially liked the beds on the mezzanine area. Bathroom is modern with a fabulous shower. Has everything you need to make your stay very comfortable. Only very minor negatives were a big splash of bird muck on the kitchen window which had been there for some time. Also, it would be good to have at least one spare toilet roll.

There is a big problem with ants they are everywhere.

Single beds up in the attic fine for kids but a no No for adults constantly hitting heads on beams. No where to hang clothes upstairs and have to share a chest of drawers. On a busy road, very noisy from early morning. French doors is living room very drafty . Kitchen very well equipped, comfy sofas and beds. But sorry we won't return.

A lovely well equipped cottage.

Super comfy bed. Good parking. It was very cold when we arrived and it took some time to fathom out how to get the heating on but we managed with the help of the management staff. A thermostat on the wall would be so much easier than pushing buttons on the boiler or maybe a card with simple instructions?

We had a great stay over the new year and couldn't find fault with the cottage at all.

Very well equipped and hands down the best power shower in Ambleside. We would and have recommended the cottage to friends and would certainly stay again.

Just got back from our Christmas break at the courtyard cottage.

We instantly felt relaxed extremely cosy,.home from home . Excellent well equipped kitchen, good quality bedding and comfortable beds. Looking to rebook again in the near future

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Courtyard Cottage.

It was very comfortable with everything that we could possibly need during our stay. We only had one slight problem which was that the clock on the central heating boiler was at the wrong time. Hence the heating was on at odd times. We managed to put the heating on manually when required as we didn't know how to change the clock time. It looked as if there may have been a power cut. We left a note on the work top to bring this to the cleaners attention.

Lovely location, lovely accomodation, very well equipped.

Had to cross a busy road to get to the garden, which really should be mentioned, particularly if children are staying.

Lovely cottage.

Light, clean & very warm. Private garden really peaceful. Would thoroughly recommend for comfort and peace. Ambleside terrible for eating out but Drunken Duck good with limited menu at lunch.

Great location.

Sykes were very helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay, the location is fab and it is a small and cosy cottage.

The cottage could have been cleaner, we removed a very full tick from the kitchen floor. The living room sofa was smelly, where everyone puts their head on it. Would be good to put a curtain across the front door for privacy and to keep the heat in.

We had a lovely stay at this great little property, good location for not using the car to explore the area.

Comfortable bed with good quality linen and super shower. Although advertised as sleep four, feel it is only ideal for maybe couple with two children, who would love the quirky upstairs layout. Maybe a basic welcome pack would be a good idea, for people who arrive late. Otherwise, would recommend this property.

Main bedroom mattress is extremely uncomfortable.

I realise it’s been replaced in the last couple of years but wrong decision made about mattress type. My back suffered for 7 nights. I have also seen negative reviews regarding the mattress. We love this cottage and have many wonderful memories. Stayed here at least 6 times over the years but can’t go back unless the mattress is replaced. Cleaning ladies were lovely and did a great job.

The cottage was perfect for three of us and our labrador especially as first timers to the Lake District.

The location was perfect. The owners have thought of pretty much everything and the family touch wasn’t lost on us. Thank you for all the literature and the comprehensive welcome pack! Despite the road noise outside it was quiet and we didn't hear any other people nearby. It is very well equipped, as others have said. Never have I come home with clean washing! Didn't need to bring any household stuff at all as all supplied. We used the garden a couple of times - it's across a faiy busy road but has beautiful river views- and was secure to let the dog have some exercise. We enjoyed the wood burner (even in July) and bought wood from the garage in Ambleside or the garden centre. Ambleside is a 10-15 minute walk- it was great not to have to use the car to get food etc. The parking is right outside the cottage. Would definitely stay again.

A lovely well presented and equipped cottage.

A very good location, easy to get to places by road and very good to explore the local area. Only a 10 minute walk into Ambleside, the information book was very helpful, we visited and walked to places which we might not of found otherwise.

We had a full English cottage experience with modern comfort and enjoyed it very much.

One of the best equipped cottages we have rented.

Although 2 minor niggles and they are very minor. The first is that its right next to the road, but in fairness nothing can be done with that. The second was no toilet brush. It was so good that we have to say we would consider booking again. Location was great for walking into Ambleside and the garden across the road to chill out, décor etc were to a high standard and really enjoyed our stay

Well equipped cottage but no bread bin?

It is a lovely cottage but let down by maintenance issues.Drain outside overflowed when kitchen sink used.Shower leaked from tray or under tray-maybe both.We used a hand towel on floor to soak up water so we could step onto dry bathmat.Hand held shower leaked from hose to head connection ."Rainfall" shower was more of a drizzle.Black mould on shower sealant.Possibly a shower curtain required between screen and wall .Kitchen table wobbly.

Beautiful cottage to stay in.

Great facilities and the best equipped kitchen of a holiday cottage we have stayed at!! Nice to chill out in the evening by the river or in the cottage. Is next to the road but you get used to the cars. Is dog friendly, but glad we have a dog crate as there was no where to put her/shut her away when she was wet and muddy/drying off. Close enough to Ambleside to be able to walk and join onto hiking trails. Also able to hike to Loughrigg Fell from the cottage. The Wateredge pub/bar is worth a visit with lovely views over Windermere!

We really enjoyed our stay at Courtyard cottage.

Was advertised as a 2 bedroom property but would be no privacy to mezzanine floor, although this did not impact on our stay. A little maintenance required in bathroom particularly in the shower. We would definitely book this quaint cottage again, was in a good position to explore the rest of the Lake District, and easy walking distance to Ambleside Village, with lovely walks especially for pet owners.

Second visit this year never fails to impress.

Location, facilities and cleanliness cannot be faulted. Home from home experience, great Easter touch which made arrival even more welcoming. Started planning return visit for later in year. Many thanks. Craig Murray

Absolutely fantastic.

Great location,short walk into Ambleside.Equiped with everything you could need.Tv has netflix for the cosy evenings in(not mentioned in description).

The Cottage was very clean and had everything you could need We had a great holiday can't fault anything looking forward to returning

Everything we had hoped for.

Clean, comfortable cottage in an ideal location. Met and surpassed all expectations. Home from home experience. Going back in a couple of weeks, counting the days until we return.

Great little cottage in Clappersgate just on the outskirts of the main Ambleside Village.

As my wife will tell you I do like a good moan and having spent the last 30 years staying in five star hotels around the world I think I’m suitably qualified in rating accommodation. On this occasion though I’ve actually got nothing to moan about!! Great little cottage with everything you’d need. Very clean and tidy, bedding crisp and fresh, modern decor including the bathroom, WiFi that worked and above all else a great base for travelling around and exploring what the Lake District has to offer. In summary therefore exceptional value for an exceptional little property and one that I would have no hesitation in rebooking in the future.

This is our 3rd time staying at this cottage (1st for Christmas) We absolutely loved having Christmas at Courtyard Cottage, everything we needed was supplied, christmas dinner was perfect!

! The little gift bag from the owner, was really thoughtful.. Thank you x Already looking to book again for 2023!

let me start with, the property is great.

but when we arrived 3rd December the heating was switched off and the cottage was freezing ieven with the fire pit burning half of the bags of wood we brought it still took most of Saturday and Sunday morning to warm up. the shower was not draining away .. almost over flowing after 1 / 2 minutes use . I found that the drain outside in the court yard was blocked ..with grease and leaves. After cleaning this and using bleach to unblock this cleared . .

This was our third stay at courtyard cottage a lovely place to stay every thing you could need plus this year a new bathroom and shower which was lovely absolutely recommended .

We were advised in the booklet that the cottage was ran off the "Nest" system however the control was no where to be seen in the cottage.

There was a round mark on the wall above the meter cupboard so I can only assume it was there at one point.

Only surfaced cleaned.

Needed a thorough clean. Freezer worked then turned off on its own. Pictures not true to size of accommodation. Deceptive.

The cottage needs a deep clean, lots of cobwebs, bedroom floor not clean, shower drain blocked with hair.

A fantastic week at Courtyard Cottage.

This was our first holiday with our baby and we really wanted a home from home experience which it provided. The location is fantastic with being able to walk to Ambleside and also not too far from the mountains. The river at the bottom of the shared garden was a lovely surprise. There is a Crag just behind the cottage which I recommend going up for amazing views of Windermere. The new bathroom is lovely and the mattress is so comfy. My only suggestion is having a few extra toilet rolls. Thank you, we will be back next year.

Great little cottage with everything you need, we loved our stay and can't way to come back

Had to call maintenance team as we were unable to get hot water.

I had read the previous reviews and was very disappointed to encounter the same problem as previous people. We have stayed in this cottage many times. The boiler appears to be the same but the NEST is a new addition which is not working properly. Get changes to the cottage especially the bathroom and much cleaner.

Wow wow what can I say !

This cottage is beautiful, location brilliant, all facilities inside the cottage are brilliant and exceptionally clean and tidy ! Cannot give negative feedback as nothing negative to say absolutely like home from home. We will definately stay again and we will definately be recommending this cottage to friends and family Thank you

The property was beautiful, well equipped and the location was perfect (10 min walk into Ambleside).

The double bed and mattress has been replaced and is EXTREMELY comfy. The communal gardens and grounds were very well maintained. The cottage was the perfect home away from home and we will definitely be returning. The property was slightly dusty with cobwebs however what do you expect when staying in an old, stone cottage? Couple of things to note: take logs to use on the fire as these were not provided, we were only provided 1 toilet roll for our 1 week stay, salt/pepper and oil are also needed, upon check-out at 10am the cleaner arrived at 9.50am so we felt a little rushed to get out of the way.

Lovely, warm, welcoming cottage, with all mod coms

The Property was very cold when we arrived, Heart of the Lakes were aware that I was travelling with baby under one but hadn’t arranged for property to be warmed upon arrival.

After reading the note re heating issues, I had to call maintenance to check out error codes flashing on boiler once turned on. I tried to set up the Cot bed however one of the sides wouldn’t click into place. Called through to maintenance again. The gentlemen advised “sometimes the hinges go”. I’d have hoped that this would have been checked before arrival to the property, again HOTL were aware we were traveling with baby under 1. The maintenance men were quick to arrive with a second cot. My mother Hoovered the carpet the morning after our arrival. She managed to fill the vacuum with dust and hair, was property not hoovered before arriving? Smelly large stain on main bed throw, this was hidden by scatter cushions and only noticed whilst getting into bed. Pillows and bedding upstairs dusty, bedding unlikely to have been changed / washed if previous guests did not use. Sofas had not been cleaned as dust and mess had gathered underneath. I found two game pieces which I have put in games cupboard. Kitchen blinds are thick with dust. Microwave was not cleaned. When it came to needing to use it to sterilise baby bottles we had to give it a good clean beforehand. Unsure if the mattress had been changed but the right side of the bed slants towards the far wall. Upon leaving the property we spoke to the cleaners who advised that the midweek cleaners are not as thorough as the weekend cleaners, if they see that the beds have not been used the bedding may not have been changed and dust will collect. Good points : good supplies of kitchen and housing utensils, TV with apps is useful, shared garden was a lovely space, very well located. This however, has been the most expensive cottage I’ve paid for and most unclean property I’ve stayed at. Aware it he price could have been inflated due to Covid-19. If it wasn’t for my partner arriving on the Saturday and having a baby, dog and mother already at the cottage I would have requested that HOTL relocated us to a clean property. When talking to the cleaners on Saturday, I made them aware of the areas that may need more attention. It did seem that Covid has been long forgotten about in this case and the property still dirty from previous occupiers.

Great little cottage, not far to walk to main shops and resturants.

Would deffo book again..

we really loved our short stay at the house, everything we could possibly need was supplied, a lovely stroll into Ambleside and the little hidden garden was a fantastic bonus!

! The only thing I would want to change is the matress on the double bed as it is really soft and bouncy so my husband woke with a bad back each morning.

Beautiful place shame about cleanliness dust all over have pictures.

Double bed is shocking had to sleep on living room floor spoilt holiday

The cottage was lovely and really clean.

The only thing I'd criticise is there was no extra toilet roll and only a tiny amount of wood and kindling - barely enough for our first night. Both pretty basic things that aren't really a luxury. We also arrived at night, in the dark and couldn't see the Croft mansion, so it took us a while to locate the opening into the Courtyard. Maybe a photo or a map to show the exact location would be useful. The bus stop is a good marker, and if you're coming from Ambleside I'd say the entrance is BEFORE the signs for the turn off to Skelwith Fold etc. It's quite a busy/fast road, so it's hard to drive slowly or stop to have a look. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. Thanks

It’s was really the best holiday I’ve had!

! The cottage was just lovely and had everything we could have wanted.

Nest heating settings need changing to allow 24hr hot water.

There were no instructions so we’re unable to have a shower until 5pm

The cottage was lovely - great location, well equipped and very comfortable.

Would stay there again. Having the lovely riverside garden was a bonus.

Booked this accomdation before covid hike in prices.

So for what we paid for a family of 3 just over £800 for week I thought this would of been 5 star accomdation at that price. I have marked this as 4* think tad over priced and we have been visiting this location for 25 years +. Postives - location for us was perfect we only used the car once. The accomodation was right size, had everything need for self catering holiday. Included a bbq which was a bonus. Kitchen was well equipt having decent washer was a bonus. Lovely enclosed yard to sit in warm summer nights. The private garden was lovely across the road. We rang before we left and confirmed we needed oven gloves and teatowels, on arrival this house had everything. Even had arrival pack which had some washing up liquid, dishwater tablets etc. Negative which makes it 4* - the road next to the house was really busy, we learnt that ferry was closed at Windermere which increased traffic through Ambleside. The road noise started at 7 and was load til 9pm. This also made it hard to cross the road to the path which was on otherside to walk into town and access the garden. Cars flying past at 60 mph was scary. We had 2 parking bays, first few days people trying park outside our property and blocked entrance to house, this was a little annoying. Inside house, bathroom was very tired it had modern equipment but needed tlc. Overall lovely house in perfect location for walking holiday. With the further covid hike in prices for next year and the noise of the road we will be looking elsewhere for our Lakes escape.

We know this cottage.

Great location and has had some maintenance etc.New heating. Painted and so on. Would like to see a new sofa. The covers are washed but the cushioning collapses down when sat on and you need scatter cushions in your back for support. They are provided but back support not good. It's been their years. Great shower as usual. Great tv is a new addition. Carpet seems rather dusty. Over all a great place to stay but had the potential to be perfect. Maybe out priced for us next time around.

Second time at this cottage.

We absolutely love it. We had a wasp issue at front door which when reported was dealt with very promptly.

The private patio area and two parking spaces are both amenities in short supply this close to Ambleside.

The village itself has many pubs and restaurants which provide a wide variety of dining options but if you choose to cook for yourself the kitchen and BBQ are stocked with all the cookware and utensils you will need.

Fabulous location and exactly what we needed.

When we arrived the cleaners hadn't been but a quick phone call and within an hour of us nipping out for a leg stretch and drink everything was cleaned. Bed in master bedroom extremely comfy, you would struggle with 4 adults staying as the upstairs is very low ceiling and the only toilet is down on the ground floor which may be a problem if you have little ones who get up to go to the loo in the night but otherwise we would definitely look at staying here again.

What can I say.

Overall, fantastic. Just what we needed. Three nights from Monday 12th April, straight after lockdown. On arrival, easy to get in. Lovely welcome pack (thank you very much the Lee’s family). Location was great. Good walks direct from the doorstep. Courtyard was good to relax in afterwards. Real sun trap! Easy to get into Ambleside by car or walk. All the instructions and information was easy to understand. And the log burner was great. Walk in shower great. Plenty of space. Being next to the main road could put some people off but we didn’t see it as an issue. Overall, I’d say excellent. Didn’t want to leave.

This was one of the most beautiful holiday cottages my family have ever stayed in.

It was like home from home. It was comfortable and cosy and we were sad when our holiday came to an end. The Lake District is just an amazing place to escape from the stresses and strains of everyday life, and coming 'home' to our cosy cottage after a wonderful day exploring, tired and occasionally wet, it was like living the dream.

Booking was done online so very straight forward. Property was ideal as a short walk to Ambleside - perfect for exploring the Lakes without having to use our car.

Very well appointed with superior quality furnishings very comfortable beds with first quality linen. Overall - 5 stars from us.
