About this cottage rental
At its best in sunshine and in showers, winter or summer, Hillcrest Cottage offers a warm and comfortable Cumbrian welcome come rain or shine. The cosy sitting room has a traditional polished green slate floor which benefits from underfloor heating and when things get chilly there’s a fine old cast iron range with an open fire to warm your cockles. For cooks there’s a fully equipped kitchen complete with gas oven, cooker hood, dishwasher and fridge for preparing hearty post-walk dinners. There’s plenty of cupboard space, somewhere to store and dry wet-weather gear and a small breakfast table. Upstairs you’ll find a generously proportioned bathroom with a quality four piece white suite, corner shower and oval bath. And at the end of the day climb into bed in Hillcrest’s only bedroom. The double bedroom has plenty of built in oak wardrobes, a valted beamed ceiling with inset lighting and a lovely view over the gardens and cottages of Ambleside. There is room for one car outside but it is on-road parking not private.

Had a great stay at this cosy cottage. It's fitted well and has everything you'd need and in a really handy location.

A great cottage in a superb location, the underfloor heating though fab for humans meant our retriever was looking round for cooler places to lie down. We would come back.

The property is perfectly positioned for everything in Ambleside! Shops, restaurants and awesome Lake District walks are on your doorstep. It it’s location you want then this place is perfect!
The house is very compact but works well for a couple. It could do with a refresh of some of the furniture (sofa mainly), but overall no complaints it was great value and perfect for our needs.

I’m certainly not knocking this beautiful little cottage, it has been great for the last week, there are pros and cons to it though!
Pros: location to ambleside town , pubs, restaurants and walks was fabulous.
Parking space outside the house, providing no one else has parked there!
Toiletries by all sinks, bath and shower.
Kitchen fully equipped.
A hairdryer.
Access to a washing machine.
Bathroom and bedroom were great sizes, huge bath, wonderful for relaxing.
Lots of local info about walks, taxis, takeaways etc.
And above all, it’s a very cute house.
Cons: there is no garden, it’s a small bit of decking that you have to walk to past two next door neighbours.
The sofa in the lounge is awful, big enough for two (just) but not for you to put your feet up, arm of sofa collapsed inside and springs sticking into your bottom.
Top racking of the dishwasher was broken, little postit left on notice board to tell us.
Front door is draughty, they could do with a big door curtain.
The road the house is on is quite a thoroughfare. Very noisy at all times of the day with people passing, you hear everything.
Only bath towels, I prefer bath sheets.
But we did have a great week in this house, but I would not book it again.
