This cottage is gorgeous! The bed is really comfortable and there is lots of bedding provided in case you feel cold. The bathroom is amazing - a powerful shower in a separate cubicle and a huge bath - lovely after a hard day's walking in the hills. The kitchen has everything you could possible need - really, everything! The sitting room has a small table and a really comfortable sofa and the wifi worked perfectly (not always the case in the Lakes). The best cottage we have stayed in - would love to return. Thank you to Steve :)

The property is fantastic, situated a very brief walk from the centre of Ambleside but still quiet with the true Lake District feeling. All the facilities are brilliant and it was extremely comfortable. Can’t recommend enough for those looking for a cosy cottage in the Lakes

Warm and cosy cottage, very comfortable bed, lovely bath but the shower (cubicle) was not so good, it ran either scolding hot or cold.

The house had everything we could need. There were even maps & guide books, which we found useful when planning walks. Steve sent us comprehensive instructions on everything we needed to know & a number to contact if we had any problems, which we didn’t. Ambleside is a lovely place with lots of places to eat & easy access to the beautiful surrounding countryside. We would definitely book this lovely little place again.

My husband and I spent 5 nights in Hillcrest Cottage. The kitchen was very conveniently set up and the lounge and bedroom were comfortable. Steve was responsive to the issue we had with washer. We recommend this cottage!

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.

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.
