About this cottage rental

Recently refurbished to a very high standard, Clare Cottage is a traditional Lakeland stone built terraced cottage situated centrally in the beautiful village of Ambleside. With accommodation over 3 floors, the cottage provides ample accommodation for 6, it is deceptively spacious. The traditional comforts such as a log burning stove are complimented by contemporary furnishings, new bathrooms and kitchen. There are magnificent views to the front and rear of the property from the upper levels and with all the amenities of Ambleside on your doorstep, including shops & restaurants as well as walks for all abilities, a car is not essential.
My aim is to provide you with a beautiful holiday home you will want to return to.

Very good short stay, got lucky with parking outside. Great location for walks

Lovely cottage in centre of Ambleside. Well equipped. Steep stairs to bedrooms as expected in older home.

10.0 / 10.0

Excellent location, well equipped, cosy cottage. With 5 adults and one teenager there was still plenty of room. Cottage was clean and welcoming. We got a bit mixed up with Compston Street and Road. Not because of directions but because we thought we knew best! Parking was a bit challenging so would recommend finding your spot and using the bus.

We’ve stayed here on a number of occasions. The location is excellent and the cottage has all the facilities we want. Comfortable living and dining areas. Well equipped kitchen. Two comfortable bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Always clean and fresh

Ambleside was hit with an unexpected heavy snowfall and roads were closed and hundreds of cars were stranded making it impossible for us to make our VRBO the first night. Management is unwilling to refund our first nights stay even thou we were told to turn around by mountain rescue

Ambleside is beautiful and this cottage is a great base to explore the Lake District. We had a wonderful 6-night stay. Excellent communication with the landlord both before and during the stay made it easy to get settled in and enjoy the holiday.

This was a great spot to enjoy Ambleside. Moments walk from any place you’d like to go in town and the Town itself is central to awesome walks and hikes in any direction. Place was very clean upon arrival and owner was very responsive to any needs. We loved the place and really enjoyed the fireplace in the evening after hikes. Would love to come back.

8.0 / 10.0

Great location for everything Ambleside has to offer. As others have noted, getting parked on the street is pretty much impossible but didn’t cause a major issue for us. Cottage was very well heated & cosy. Didn’t really use the kitchen other than for breakfast so can’t comment on how well equipped it is but seemed to have everything you’d need.

10.0 / 10.0

Clare cottage was wonderful. The kitchen and both bathrooms seemed recently remodeled and are very nice, especially the one with a heated floor! The cottage was just two minutes from restaurants and coffee shops but on a quiet street.

Couldn't be better, unless you need a garden or outside space. Three very spacious bedrooms (one en suite), really nice lounge diner, well-equipped kitchen, and it's slap in the middle of Ambleside. Even has a parking permit which is really helpful. Highly recommended.

Wonderful cottage

Wonderful cottage

The description and photos of this cottage don’t do it justice. It is even more charming in person! We were four adults from Washington, DC. Clare Cottage was a delight - clean, comfortable, cozy, and updated appliances and amenities. We were able to park on street and walk everywhere! We ate tasty tapas around the corner and did Chinese take away one night. We were glad to have a grocer and a pharmacy at the end of the block. We walked (a short walk) to the pier to take a boat ride on Lake Windermere. We also drove to Grasmere one day to hike and eat gingerbread. We were always happy to return to Clare Cottage at the end of the day! Thank you for sharing your delightful house. We would definitely return.
