The overall stay was amazing. Breakfast choice was excellent, and presented really well. The cottage had a lovely feel and atmosphere, and a really lovely lounge to use if you wanted to. The room was light and airy, and all tea coffee etc was available in the room, along with fresh milk. Also provided were shampoo and body wash.

Amanda was attentive and welcoming, truly hospitable. The breakfasts were superb - fresh, healthy and delicious.
We appreciated Amanda’s knowledge and enthusiasm of the area to direct us in scenic walks and picturesque, quiet picnic spots around the lakes.
Overall a wonderful experience.
Note that the stairs to the top level can feel steep but we are in our 70’s and had no difficulty. Large cases would be tricky.

From the delicious made to order breakfasts to tips on where to go, I loved my stay at Haven Cottage. Never used my car once I got there. There is a bus stop right across the street if that's needed. But I walked into town and to hikes. If heading to the lake and you'd rather avoid main street, I recommend using the public walkway at the end of Stoney Lane. Take it over the bridge and make a left and you'll wind up on a pretty walk that can take you to the old Roman Fort ruins and then Borrans Park and then the pier (if you want to take a ferry anywhere). About a 20.minute walk (use Google maps or Waze so you don't lose your way). :) Lots of easily accessible hikes up the surrounding fells as well. I wish I could have stayed longer!
There was some road noise during the day (not bad....just there), but at night it was quiet and I slept well (and I'm a light sleeper).

Only downside was the pillows - they are premium down pillows but for us they weren’t overly comfy

Haven cottage is in an excellent location on the edge of Ambleside. Amanda was very welcoming and the room was very clean and comfortable.
Amanda and Mark cook a delish breakfast with lots of options, highlighting the excellent local produce. Ambleside centre is a few minutes walk away with a good choice of restaurants, cafes and pubs.
It is an excellent base for exploring the southern lakes.

Beautiful room with beautiful fixtures with lovely views and quiet. Beginning of Ambleside that we could walk to the restaurants cafes and the pier for the boat tours. The best breakfast we have had in our travels around Uk cooked by our lovely friendly host. Nothing was too much for her and her husband we were most grateful for our stay
Highly recommend if you are visiting Lake Windermere
