Absolutely perfect!
We traveled to England in early January from the USA to spend time with family we hadn't seen since the pandemic started. Our goal was to base ourselves in Ambleside and have family members come and visit us there. Our logistics worked beautifully and the house exceeded expectations. We've already booked in again for next year. The house is beautiful and looks exactly like the pictures. The view from the house is wonderful and the house was extremely comfortable. Helen, the property owner was easy to reach and had thought through every possible detail of what someone might enjoy in a stay. Little details like having multiple keys so that we didn't need to coordinate when we were going in different directions, beautiful coffee mugs, every kitchen gadget you might possibly need, wonderful linens. The decor was beautiful and we loved finishing our day in the cozy lounge. One of the things we particularly liked was the location. It was a two-minute walk into the center of Ambleside which made it possible to run out for baked goods in the morning and to stroll to restaurants in the evening. After two years of not traveling this was the perfect experience.

Perfect Location
Lovely house in a perfect location; very central with all Ambleside has to offer on the doorstep but nicely positioned above the town centre. Car parking a huge bonus. Very clean and well equipped. Owner very helpful and communicative.

Lovely home from home, great location.
This is probably the best property we have stayed in in Ambleside. The layout of the house works really well both practically and for relaxing. The house was beautifully presented and very well equipped. It location is excellent and the garden a lovely bonus, we made extensive use of the patio for relaxing and eating. The garden might not work so well for small children or older people. We would highly recommend this house and would definitely stay here again,

Holiday house rental in Ambleside
Lovely clean and nicely equipped house. Very convenient for centre of Ambleside town. Parking is not ideal and the steepness of the slope to reach the property makes access exhausting unless you are very fit. Lovely views over the town and surrounding hills from the house. It worked for us with a 19 month old but a toddler of running around age would not be able to use the garden which is exceptionally steep. This is an ideal house for young fit people or very fit walkers. The house could benefit from a tumble dryer, as it was difficult to dry things sufficiently on just a clothes horse. Otherwise a very well appointed house right in the heart of the town, but away from any traffic noise. Very friendly owners.

Beautiful comfortable house
Beautiful house in super location. Every detail thought about and very comfortable. Two minute walk to shops and restaurants. Only slight negative, car parking is also two minutes walk away, no problem if the weather is fine.
