Linda’s cottage is lovely and in a central location really close to the town and with lovely views. Having a car parking space was brilliant. The cottage itself had very thing we needed and Linda responded to messages really quickly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic property in a quiet and picturesque part of Ambleside, with fantastic views. Very useful to have an easy to access parking space too. Will definitely return for another booking

10.0 / 10.0

This was a fabulous cottage for a family. Great location with some short walks with lovely views of perfect length for two kids age 5 and 6 (Rydal caves and Grasmere being our favourite). Great access to the lake for various boat based activities and an easy walk into Ambleside for some interesting shops (the Rock shop and toy shop were particularly interesting). Cottage itself was clean and cosy and had truly stunning views. Rooms over 3 floors so the kids expended some energy going up 2 flights of stairs to bed. Some toys and books that helped entertain the kids too. Kitchen was small but fine for only 5 people (just don’t do a weeks shop in one hit!). Communication with host was easy and she responded quickly, sorting out some minor problems quickly.

A lovely property in the heart of the lakes. Perfect position for hiking and walking to Ambleside town.

The lovely view from the lounge/diner makes the property, which was very well equipped and very well located in relation to the village centre and its many restaurants and shops. Our stay was enhanced by some really exceptional weather.

10.0 / 10.0

We had a fantastic stay in Ambleside, largely due to the location of this property. A 5 minute walk from the centre of town and lots of restaurants and pubs but far enough away from the centre to be private. Amazing views. A little difficult to find in the first place but once we located it, all was good! Thank you!

8.0 / 10.0

We had a great week, the house has masses going for it, the view is great, it’s really convenient to pop into Ambleside but far enough away so it’s quiet. The beds are comfy, the house is warm and inviting, it has pretty much everything you need to be a home away from home. Thankyou

The accommodation was just as described and comfortably big enough for the 4 of us. Was great to be able to walk from the house onto the fells, to the lake and to the town. Lovely views as well.

Ultimately the cottage seems to be a home to the owners how they like it. Cosy, practical & functional. Absolutely fine for us and accurately described - location really good & parking great for 1 vehicle we have a discovery and no problem. We took a fire stick down but you can’t link that up to the network, which was unusual- no porch for wet stuff, but you can see this from advert so again prepared for it. Anyway really enjoyed stay and would book again.

Such a comfortable place to stay, within walking distance of the many pubs and restaurants in Ambleside. And on the doorstep of so many great walks. Fantastic views and heaps of games and DVDs in case of a rainy day!

Fantastic cosy base for our short stay. Great view, feels like a world away from civilisation but less than a five minute walk to Ambleside town centre. Five minutes in the opposite direction and we were onto the fells. Our host Linda was very helpful throughout.

The accommodations were comfortable. I recommend the address location be better labeled on the stone wall. The cab driver had difficulty finding Cabin 3. The stone wall hides the view of the cabin. The laundry from the previous tenants never got picked up and the red laundry bag sat on the front stoop all week. The outside views from the dining room window, kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms were splendid.

Had a lovely stay. Views were stunning. Cottage is pretty basic but clean and has everything you need. The walk into Ambleside is only a few minutes which is perfect for grabbing groceries or going out for a meal. The host, Linda was great and answered any questions quickly. We would return.

Really good cottage only about 2 mins walk from centre of Ambleside. Had everything you need for a nice simple stay in the lakes. Great views from the front room over the hills. They’ve just had a car parking space put in which is very handy. Great communication with owner throughout. Would definitely come back.

Good communication and great property, very near to Ambleside town centre, up a steep hill, but then you benefit from amazing views. We had a lovely stay, thank you

8.0 / 10.0

We had a really lovely stay. Thank you! Only issue we had is there was nowhere to park so had to pay £18 to park car in central Ambleside and it was a walk... lucky we liked the walk! Host said there is planning permission for parking to be resolved. Beautiful views over the lake and the property itself was very comfortable and we enjoyed a game of Jenga on a rainy day so would recommend!

10.0 / 10.0

We had just over a week in this delightful cottage very nicely situated in Ambleside: an easy walk to the town (even for those of us less mobile) but a nice, quiet location for relaxing. The view - much mentioned by other reviews - does not disappoint! The sitting room is filled with light and is very comfortable indeed. The kitchen is well-equipped. It was perfect for our needs. Some small things to note: water pressure is much the same as in any old property, so expect a functional experience rather than a power shower. Beds were a little firm for our taste but this is entirely subjective and may suit many others! Parking wasn't always straightforward - the neighbouring properties all seemed very busy our week so be prepared for a little bit of shuffling in busy weeks, especially if you have a larger vehicle or more than one car in your party. These were small things much outweighed by the overall experience of a great holiday. We would definitely stay again and recommend this property..

We loved everything about our stay in Ambleside Blue Hill Cottage. Close to local stores and very easy access to lots of hiking trails. We would love to go back in the future.

Our family, me, my wife and our two sons (aged 18 and 15) had a memorable time at the property. We were blessed with warm and dry weather, which was cheering especially since the forecasts had promised rain, and we made the most of the location, driving out to Keswick one day, Grizedale on another and going for a long car tour of the North West lakes that included the awe-inspiring Whinlatter, Hardknot and Wrynose mountain passes. But for the rest of the week we walked from the cottage and say the lovely Stockghyll waterfall, the "Champion Tree" walk in the woods to the south of Ambleside, and we climbed up Loughriff Fell, the big hill opposite the cottage which afforded lovely views of Ambleside on the descent. And Ambleside itself is such a gem. Although busy, it has a enchanting charm. The cottage is so well appointed and so beautifully decorated, with comfortable furniture and aesthetically pleasing furnishings, it fitted our family so well. Cliff Coultart

Lovely well equipped property. An excellent location for the village of Ambleside which is a five minute walk to the centre and perfect base for walking Wainwright hills.

This rental was very comfortable, and a great spot for my family during our trip to Ambleside. The kitchen was small but appropriately equipped. We appreciated the games and puzzles on rainy days. And the view is stunning. Guests should be aware that there are no laundry facilities in this rental and the laundromat in town doesn’t have a change machine or a vending machine for detergent (It’s also pricy and busy).

We really enjoyed our stay in this wonderfull cottage. From the first moment we felt at home. During our meals we could admire the view over the hills that surround the lakes. In the end we felt sorry to leave this wonderfull place. We also enjoyed the dvd's, books and hiking maps available.

Perfect spot for our stay in Ambleside. The view is amazing and it's a short walk to town. Will definitely look at staying here again when we return to the lakes.

Our family of four had a really lovely week at Bluehill Cottage. The sun shone almost every day and the cottage is perfect to make the most of this kind of weather - it faces south-west and gets the sun all the way from late morning until sunset. Perfect for sitting out at the front in the evening. On arrival we had no problem parking on the lane at the front, and in fact we didn't move the car all week as the local bus service is excellent and there's lots to do in and around Ambleside itself. I'd recommend the steep but relatively short walk up Wansfell Pike for views over Ambleside and Windermere - just carry on up the lane/track as far as you can go then turn right up the steep path to the summit. The c6ottage is only a few minutes walk into the centre of Ambleside. We were the first visitors after a recent refurbishment - everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is small but well designed and we had no trouble cooking there. It's worth noting the steps are steep, especially to the top floor - our kids loved the steps but they could be an issue for elderly visitors. The views from all windows at the front are fantastic. The living room has two big sofas and was a nice space to relax in during the evenings. Thanks Linda, we really enjoyed ourselves and hope to visit again one day!

The cottage is practically in the village of Ambleside, with the bus stop nearby. I arrived late and the host put milk, bread and butter in the kitchen, very thoughtful. The cottage was very clean and filled with things I needed and things I didn’t know I needed. The view from the cottage is amazing. In the evening I sat in the seating area in front of the cottage watching the sun go down on the hills. I arrived late and the host put milk, bread and butter in the kitchen, very thoughtful. The cottage was very clean and filled with things I needed and things I didn’t know I needed. When I had a question Linda replied fast and friendly. What a lovely, lovely place.

Townhouse in ambleside.

Townhouse in ambleside.

Stayed for a few days in october half term. Location is good - Ambleside is probably the best place for exploring the lakes. However the october Weather was appalling, so gave up and came home after a few days. Not much facilities for drying wet boots, jumpers and coats. Parking is a bit tight, on road outside, had to park right down the hill on arrival day (after unloading), but found a spot thereafter. House is also a bit on the small side for a family of 5 TBH. Kitchen is really tiny, probably the smallest I've ever used. The dining area is also very congested for 5. Bedrooms are fine - decent sized double on the middle floor, and 3 singles on the top floor are tighter on space, but fine for kids. Bathroom also good and spacious. Water hot, but lowish pressure. Everything was clean and well kept.

Fantastic Lake District in a great location

Fantastic Lake District in a great location

Family of 3 , we spent the first week of a August at the house, which was in a great location. On a hill, but a short walk directly into the town of Ambleside shopping, restaurants, pubs and tourist attractions. Waterhead Pier (Windermere Lake) approx 10 minutes walk away for kayaking, boat hire and other boat trips. A walk to the waterfaull in Ambleside is a lovely little evening walk and live music in the golden fleece was lovely and not forgetting the Hungarian meat balls in the Unicorn pub. The house is set on 3 floors, which my teenage son loved, (away from the oldies) and was very clean with a newly refurbished bathroom, which was lovely to relax your aching bones after the long walks. We often sat at the front of the house watching the sun gone down with a glass or two. Parking is a little difficult at times despite saying residents parking there are numerous other houses around wanting to park in the same area, but to be honest it is in the location where you don't necessarily need to take the car as the bus runs through the centre of town to many locations. For teenage activities, we chose Segway at Go-ape Grizedale (lovely place for some great walking too) Quad biking at Derwent water, which was awesome, but not for the faint hearted. Also the infinity bridge at Honister (which we did in the pouring rain) If you are a nervous driver, beware as the roads are narrow and very bendy! The house meant that we were in the heart of the Lakes and the bus and walking took us to many places. one was Buckstone Jum to swim in the waterfalls - just magical. All in all a fantastic holiday and made better, by having the house in such a great location. A lovely little find and would definitely go back.
