A thoroughly enjoyable holiday. The view from the house was lovely and a very comfortable place to stay. We loved the pool and swam most days.

Just had a second great stay at this property which has all the facilities you need for a pleasant stay. The property has a balcony off the lounge and main bedroom which offers great views over Ambleside and across to the hills on the other side of the valley. The location offers quick access to the town centre via 74 steps down a nearby path or for those preferring a slope either down the road or along past the leisure centre and down a few steps and down a slope. Being on a slope the drive is quite steep and may not be suitable for some sports cars but there is a parking space at the top of the drive to cater for such occasions.
The owner, Garth, contacted us half way through the week just to check everything was okay which was a pleasant touch.
The owner allows a dog to stay which many do not which can be restrictive in accommodation choice so we are so pleased that we found this place.
This is our second stay at the property and we have already discussed about returning again in the future. We definitely recommend a stay at this property.

We had an amazing stay in Ambleside. The house was well equipped and clean. It was in easy walking distance to local shops but far enough away to be out the way of any crowds. The balcony gave fabulous views of the setting sun over Ambleside. A Wonderful stay
4.8
Great location with amazing views over Ambleside and the hills. The balcony is a bonus in good weather. The walk into Ambleside is steep but short so you have easy access to all the town has to offer and walks into the fells without needing to drive. Use of the (small) pool and jacuzzi at Lakelands was a bonus and quiet the week we were there.
House is well presented and furnished with plenty of storage, crockery/cutlery etc. The beginning of our week was very cold and even with the heating on we noticed the upstairs stayed warm but downstairs was noticeably colder. The bathrooms were lovely, especially the large monsoon shower in the en suite. Comfortable beds.
The leather sofas however were definitely end of life with absolutely no support left on the seats so were uncomfortable which was a shame.
The driveway is steep so we decided to keep the car on the parking space at the top of the drive next to the garage wall which worked well.
4.8
Amazing location and a lovely place with everything you could need for a super holiday in the lakes. Right in the centre but above it all so away from the hustle and bustle and very peaceful. Amazing views over Ambleside and the fells. Added bonus of the pool and spa. Very helpful friendly host. Would definitely return here.

This is a beautiful property in a prime location overlooking Ambleside. The house has everything you could need and more. Warm, comfortable with amazing views from the large balcony overlooking Ambleside and beyond to the breathtaking views of the hills and countryside. Just a few minutes (steep) walk from Ambleside town centre and everything this bustling lakeland town has to offer, pubs, restaurants and shopping a plenty. Excellent comms from Garth made the booking in process very easy from start to finish and the use of the swimming pool and jacuzzi at the nearby Lakeland Centre was an added bonus. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to re-visiting it again soon. Thanks Garth👍

Wonderful clean spacious property, perfectly located, just 5 minutes from the town centre.
Fantastic views from the double length balcony that leads from both the lounge and master bedroom, overlooking Ambleside.
Garth, the owner, has put a lot of effort into making this a well provided for property. We will definitely be booking again

Excellent property yards from the centre of ambleside but tucked away enough to be in a quiet location. The house itself was spacious enough for us 5 and a dog. It felt like home from home which is always a big plus. Will recommend with 5* approval from us.

House was exactly as described. I rented the house for the patio and garden hoping for good weather . Unfortunately we got really bad weather but the views were still beautiful.
The house was very comfortable and very relaxing . Garth was very helpful and I would definitely rent again .

We have recenlt come back from a wonderful stay at Lingmell. The property is in a super location overloooking Ambleside. Fab balcony for when the weather is dry but the patio doors also allow the views to be appreciated in all weathers. We have stayed here on numerous occasions and hope to continue to do so for years to come. The host is always contactable and always checks that everything is ok with our stay.

We have just stayed here for the Christmas period and had a lovely time. Had a little trouble with water heater, trying to switch it on but have Garth a quick call and all sorted. The walk into the village is literally 5 mins and lots of great pubs to choose from all pet friendly. Didn't go on many walks as it's didn't stop raining fur the whole week but not a lot you can do about that. Lovely comfy beds and modern bathrooms. Kitchen well equipped and sky TV connected. This wi fi of you need to work remotely. Definitely recommend.

House very well presented. Lovely balcony with superb views. Sitting room/Dining area worked for us although dining area was quite small. Master bedroom great. Bathrooms and showers superb. Twin bedroom very good. Double bedroom downstairs a bit small and dark, with no access to garden.
Everything provided but instructions for microwave would have been useful.
Really enjoyed our fortnight here.
The only real difficulty, and it was major, was the shared very steep drive. Last 11 days I managed to park in Lower Gale. This avoided earlier problems with neighbours.

Lovely house great location
Fabulous holiday- location perfect for walks from the door and access to restaurants and all Ambleside has to offer. House is extremely comfortable and views from the balcony are picture perfect. Thanks Garth

Nice house, great views
House was comfortable and spacious. Useful that one bedroom is on same floor as living area so only one step up on way in. However, it is a short but steep walk down to town so if you are mobility impaired like my elderly parents the house is good but you need a car to go anywhere. Overall would recommend and Ambleside is lovely.

We have just returned from our stay in this cottage (April 2022), and what a fantastic place it is! The views from the balcony are amazing, and the cottage itself is equipped with everything you could possibly need.
The things we need most from a Lakeland cottage are a decent shower and a comfy bed (after a days walking), and boy-oh-boy, this cottage does not disappoint! The beds and linen were great, and the shower is probably the best one I have had in any rental I have ever been in.
Also very helpful for us was the fact that the cottage is carpeted - we have an elderly dog who struggles with laminate flooring, so he was able to stay upright on his paws the whole time.
It was great being able to walk into Ambleside in the evening to get a bite to eat, but having said that, the cottage itself is in a quiet spot, so it sort of felt like the best of both worlds.
The driveway is steep, be warned, but fine for a small/family sized car. We took a VW T5, so it was a bit more tricky, but there was plenty of roadside parking anyway.
The only tiny thing I would suggest to the extremely helpful and friendly owner, is maybe a trim to the larger tree (Cherry tree?), is it is obscuring a good portion of the view from the lounge. The smaller Magnolia isn't a problem at the moment, but if left untrimmed, the view will then become greatly reduced, which would be a shame.
If you are considering this cottage, I would say, don't hesitate, it will not disappoint! We will certainly be back.

Perfectly placed in Ambleside, close to the centre but quiet. Great view from the balcony and upstairs space. The bathrooms are amazing, genuinely the best shower I can remember! Beds comfy but the sofas a little tired. The kitchen is a bit basic but usable.

Lake District Holiday
Details and communications provided before our holiday were accurate and very helpful.
Excellent location, only short walk to Ambleside town centre that catered for all our needs.
Incredible views from the balcony, living room and master bedroom.
The house was lovely, very well equipped with excellent Wi-Fi and the large smart TV/Sky was a bonus.
Would definitely book again, we highly recommend it!!

Perfect Ambleside stay.
If you love the Lakes or if you are wanting to come and see the area for the first time, this is the perfect spot to stay. Great house, everything you need, and the town of Ambleside and its surrounding fells and mountains right on your doorstep. Grassmere, Hawkshead, Windermere. All in easy reach. Boats for hire, launch trips, easy walking, more adventurous hiking. Everything for a wonderful family break. Brilliant.

This is our 4th time renting this property and have already booked to go back twice this year. Communication with the owner Garth is always great and very helpful.
The property for us is ideal and couldn’t be better situated in Ambleside - a 5 minutes walk to get to the shops, pubs and restaurants. The house is very well maintained with more than average space and has everything needed to make your stay extremely comfortable.
One of the highlights are the balconies attached to the lounge, master bedroom and twin room.
The only slight downside for those that struggle with mobility is the walk into Ambleside is a little steep. That said my mum is 82 and managed this so please don’t let it put you off!
I couldn’t recommend this property more highly!

Lovely house set above Ambleside with amazing views across to Loughrigg. Since our last visit a few years ago the bathrooms have been replaced and new carpets and TV added. The property was warm, well equipped and comfortable.
Great location and very central for the shops, pubs and restaurants.

Family get together in Lakes
Great position in Ambleside, easy access to shops and great restaurants. The early morning walking to local waterfalls with dog and then to pick up croissants and sausage rolls set off the day.
Lingmell was ideal with 3 bedrooms, the bathrooms were great obviously recently upgraded. Views spectacular from the the upper balcony area. Great to sit out with a glass of wine or coffee!
Did not want to leave .
