With the town centre so close, why not leave the car where it is and head to explore on foot? There are a great choice of outdoor and independent shops to look around and lots of quirky cafes for a bite of lunch. Try out the indoor climbing wall or why not hire a motor boat for a day on the water?

Property was warm, well equipped and in an excellent location, only a few minutes walk from the town centre. There was an issue with cleanliness, which was resolved by Holiday Cottages in a helpful and constructive way. The parking space is a bonus.

Very convenient location for the town, yet very quiet, and having its own parking a bonus. Beautifully equipped with good quality furniture and appliances and we will certainly return to it another year. The stairs are quite steep so might be difficult for someone with mobility issues.

The property is ideally located with a free parking space, which is useful for exploring shops / pubs in Ambleside and also for walking to the pier head on Windermere to catch the boats to other destinations. The local bus service stops not far from the entrance. Everything needed for a comforatable stay is included and it's very quiet - we were suRead morerprised we couldn't hear more traffic noise, but the arrangement in the courtyard seems to cocoon us from that.

The cottage is in a great location situated between the centre of Ambleside and Waterhead at the edge of Windemere. Well equipped with all that we needed for a week in the Lakes, easy access to the lake and the surrounding fells with plenty of stunning views. Ideal as a location for walking, climbing, cycling or sailing. Fantastic!
