    Everything is exactly as illustrated by previous guests. Pleasant hosts; Sheila and Chris are so passionate and thank you for sharing the cottage with us. And they cook scrumptious breakfast too. Comfy and cosy rooms and living room. And the manicured English garden. And the trails right across the road; catch the romantic summer sunset and sunrise. It’s simply a perfect stay in the Lakes.

    Really lovely cottage a little outside Ambleside. I read a few bad reviews beforehand but was pleasantly surprised by how nice to house is. it was warm and cosy when we arrived, and the house stayed warm the whole stay. The beds are comfortable, everything worked in the kitchen and bathroom. There is a bathtub so that is a plus with kids. There is enough hot water for everyone (even after baths). The furnishings are in good condition and nicely decorated. it’s also close to a few trails. We really had a lovely time as a family.

    It was a lovely, idyllic countryside lodge. Had a river running just by the garden at the back and was incredible. The staff were faultless and contributed so much to the trip. Gave loads of information about Ambleside and the ferry system, along with a map showing the routes of nearby walks. Free Wi-Fi and parking. An all around great stay, and will definitely come to stay again.
