Simon R.

The perfect welcome.

Checking in at 3pm 1st December to be met with a tastefully decorated Christmas tree in the lounge window, similarly decorated mantelpiece and alcoves immediately set the tone. Whoever was instrumental in this should be applauded! So really from there everything was going to be good and we weren’t disappointed. The cottage is very tastefully appointed, notably window blinds and wall art. The bedding is fantastic, enabling wonderful rest. We expected a little early morning traffic noise due to the super convenient location and main road position but Upvc double glazing and general comfort dealt with this admirably. Private parking in this location is another big plus and 50m to the ‘Golden Rule’ needs a mention. This was our first booking with Cumbrian Cottage Holidays and the whole process was friendly and very professional. Big shout out to Gail and of course the secret Christmas tree fairy! Well done to all concerned.

Great place!

Everything was great. It was just steps from the center but quiet at night. I’d stay again in a heartbeat!

Kirkstone Cottage Ambleside

This is the fourth time that we have stayed in this quaint little cottage. The cottage itself is equipped with everything you need for your stay. The location is excellent with shops, pubs and restaurants only a short walk away. The cottage has an allocated parking space which is large enough for a medium sized car. There is a steep step down in order to access the cottage which needs to be considered for people with mobility issues.

8/10 Good
