About this cottage rental
Just a five-minute walk from Ambleside’s heart, this peaceful, spacious three-bedroom, three-bathroom property can sleep six. Patio. Private parking for two cars.

Electric oven and induction hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, Smart CD Player with Radio & Bluetooth connectivity , Wi-Fi. Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen, towels inc. in rent. Travel cot and highchair inc. Private parking for two cars. Patio. One small pet welcome only. Sorry, no smoking. Gated garden
Town: Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

We’ve had a wonderful few days at Holly Cottage and can’t wait to go back. The location is great, so near the centre of Ambleside, just a few minutes walk with wonderful views from upstairs and the sound of the waterfall. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of accommodation after reading some of the reviews but think recent improvements have been made, including a new front door. It was also in very good decorative order. Did not notice a damp smell. Plenty of cutlery, crockery, glasses baking trays and pans, all we needed and more. The bedrooms are very generous sizes, particularly the twin which the children loved. Also what is not clear on all the details is the fact there are 3 bathrooms, including 2 en suites so that really helps.Also lovely to have the little patio area as we were blessed with fabulous weather. Overall everything was great!

A beautiful cottage set in a private complex. The cottage contained everything you need and more. A lovely outside seating area where you can sit and relax to the sound of the nearby stream. Just a short walk from the center of Ambleside (all be it up quite a steep hill). I would highly recommend it for the walkers or for the ones that just want to relax.
