    Fantastic and easy walk into Ambleside.

    The overall stay was amazing. Breakfast choice was excellent, and presented really well. The cottage had a lovely feel and atmosphere, and a really lovely lounge to use if you wanted to. The room was light and airy, and all tea coffee etc was available in the room, along with fresh milk. Also provided were shampoo and body wash.

    A most comfortable and welcoming stay, highly recommended

    Amanda was attentive and welcoming, truly hospitable. The breakfasts were superb - fresh, healthy and delicious. We appreciated Amanda’s knowledge and enthusiasm of the area to direct us in scenic walks and picturesque, quiet picnic spots around the lakes. Overall a wonderful experience.

    Note that the stairs to the top level can feel steep but we are in our 70’s and had no difficulty. Large cases would be tricky.
