"Beautiful week at Riverside with our family."
Cottage was clean, comfortable and the views were to die for. So peaceful and relaxing. Our girls loved waking up to the sheep every morning and made up a story about Tina the Trout that lived in the river! She was a cheeky trout though who kept leaving notes everywhere! It was magical for them!
The cottage itself had everything you needed for a comfortable week, well stocked kitchen, lots of space and ample amenities like soap and toilet roll!
The terraces were lovely and we enjoyed coffee in the mornings and wine in the evening depending on where the sun was!
Great base to visit the Lakes, only comment would be for a folder or bigger information sheet about what there is to do in the area. It didn’t matter too much to us as we know the Lakes well but might be helpful for families that haven’t visited the area as much.
We did a lovely couple of walks, Rydal Caves and Stock Ghyll force. Visited Sizergh Castle and Grizedale Forest.
Had some lovely meals in The Mortal Man and The Queens Head in Troutbeck.

"Beautiful house and location, peaceful, very comfortable, clean."
Met the sheep farmer who keeps a herd in the grounds. V informative.
Probably don’t bother bringing your fishing gear as he hadn’t seen any fish in the river for some years now. Didn’t stop me having a cast though!

"If there was a compost bin we would have used it."
beautiful property and very well kept. glad no one was afraid of sheep, maybe some steps cut into the river bank would give safe access to the stream and stepping stones .beautiful views, and great location for accessing bus routes, and amenities. would defiantly be happy to stay again.

"Lovely house and great holiday."
No negatives except it would be nice if the photos showed that there is a house that overlooks you when you're sitting on the front patio but this didn't spoil our holiday.
Thank you for your comments, we are pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable stay.
We take all comments on board.
We hope to welcome you again.

"We had a fantastic stay in this wonderful location!"
So very relaxing, with the open space in front of the house (and wildlife - roebuck? I guess and owls), the two sitting areas outside, the steam right beside the property.
We found everything clean, spacious and very well equipped.
Just a short drive fom Ampleside and the lake Windermere, close to activities and attractions.
We highly recommend Riverside and also thank Lakelovers, who provided us with all necessary infos regarding our stay.
Looking forward to coming back!

"Amazing property in a fabulous location."
The open space in front with the sheep, lambs and foxes was brilliant entertainment for the kids. The kids equally loved splashing in the stream. The location is ideal with easy access to the lake 5min drive away (where we swam and SUP’d) and Ambleside just a short drive away for cafes, restaurants and take aways. Would highly recommend!!

"Great family week in a beautiful house."
Very comfortable, clean and well equipped for 8 people. Lots of space inside the house to accommodate a large group. Front field of sheep great to wake up too. Stream / river in full flow following a week of heavy rain so no water play or field play. The cottage has a steep driveway from the Troutbeck lane. Was slippy in heavy rain. An excellent stay. Thank you.

"We all had a brilliant week, which does not mean that all was perfect."
the property, while we loved it, has a very tired kitchen and really needs a proper swing bin rather then the present inadequate provision.
Our party was an extended family group comprising 3 households which made it very difficult as there are just 2 sets of keys enabling the opening of the 2 sets of electric gates so that some running backwards and forwards had to take place in the event that we all left separately ( the 1'st gates are some distance from the property ).
As there is only 1 shower and all 8 of us would rather shower than bath there were some logistical problems.
Having said that we all agreed that we would book this property again without hesitation.
The lounge / living / dining areas are super and the aspect wonderful.

For a party of seven adults and a toddler the layout of the property worked brilliantly as well as being very conveniently located. Loved the field of sheep at the end of the drive!
