We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment with a kitchen that had all kitchen amenities. Our Apartment was very clean and spacious . There is an indoor pool that was warm and it can also be like a Jacuzzi. There is also a Sauna. The resort also has a laundry room and dryer so I was able to do my laundry while on our stay. The...

Ambleside Cottage with free private parking

Ambleside Town Centre

"Great location and great, safe private parking spot. Cottage is clean, spacious and cosy. Cottage is a little old fashioned, and needs a bit of TLC but the basics are all there and some nice touches- milk in fridge, bread, butter, eggs, tea coffee etc supplied. Would stay again as reasonably priced for what it is."

Cottage

A wooden deck with a metal railing overlooking a river, surrounded by lush greenery.

Riverbank

Ambleside

"It was a great location. We did find the car park a little bit tight and tricky to get into (as the road was fairly busy when we arrived). The cottage was great and had all we were after and the downstairs bathroom was great for my elderly Mum. The two single beds mattresses were a bit past their best so the only thing I’d suggest to improve the property would be an update of those. Otherwise it was a great place to stay right on the river."

Cottage

A living room with a sofa, a coffee table, a bookshelf, and a television.

Ramblers Rest

Ambleside

"Amazing views from the place and a very cosy little apartment for two maybe a little bit less clutter and wires around the house would’ve been nicer. There is no need for so many gadgets like sky box BT players CD players music hi-fi."

Fell View

Ambleside

"Fell View is the most lovely get-away cottage. It is perfect for two people! I love where it is, and despite being in the middle of town, it seemed private, and cosy. I wish we could have stayed longer. I could not recommend this cottage highly enough."

Cottage

Buttonhole Cottage

Ambleside

"Beautiful central little cottage which has everything you could possibly need. Exceptionally clean and the most comfortable bed. Pet friendly with extra throws for the furniture. Lovely little touches like chocolates, milk, tea and fruit on arrival. Fresh flowers too. Easy walk into town and good roads to surrounding areas."
