About this cottage rental
Lovely newly refurbished house in Ambleside within the heart of the Lake District National Park and UNESCO site. The property is furnished to a high standard, with a Nespresso coffee maker and full kitted kitchen, including convection oven, induction hob and microwave. The living area has high quality furniture with a fresh Scandinavian style and a woodturner for cosy nights in. The owner lives nearby and can sort out any queries promptly. Within walking distance of local amenities ( including a cinema) shops and restaurants and with a wealth of hikes straight from the doorstep, Ambleside's central location to the lakes enables guests to visit many other places in the local area. Windermere Lake and its boat tours and water sports is within a short stroll from the property and the whole area is nestled within spectacular mountain views.

The property is nice and overall well presented . Difficult to find, the directions could be a little clearer.
As of 6 pm the night before check in we had not received check in directions so we stopped in at the hosts hotel as we were next door to it for dinner that evening. We were told the host was on holiday but They contacted her and we got our check in info about an hour later.
On arrival at the property the next day we had a problem with the freezer not working ( it took my husband and I 30 minutes to clear all the ice out) and the back door not unlocking. We messaged the host but heard nothing. I messaged again the following day and someone came the day after that to look at the door lock. We were still having problems with it and our next message regarding this went completely unanswered and we never heard from the host again. She had told me she was on vacation and did not have good service but someone should have been available to help us. I finally had my nephew come and sort the lock out but even he had trouble with it
. We had called the number provided in the book but that company told us they no longer represent the place we were in so the book was out of date
A few minor things like no wastebaskets in the upstairs bedrooms or bathrooms. No soap in master bathroom. Broken tap in bathroom. The walk to town was down hill but the return is up a very steep hill. Main problem was no communication as all of these small things could have been resolved easily

Not the easiest location to find (google maps problem?)and the place wasn’t ready for us, but once all was sorted, it was a great property to base our outdoor hikes and adventures. Super responsive property manager and a very enjoyable stay. Nice patio for wine and cheese, quiet (except for the RAF jets) and very well equipped. Would recommend to friends.

Great value, a perfect location for myself and my family. We are all fit adults and so the small incline walk from town to the property was not a problem. The house had plenty of room and the two big bathrooms were perfect for us. Great value for money - will stay again. Plus met the really lovely cleaning lady our departure. Thank you.
