Authentic cosy cottage in lakes
Ultimately the cottage seems to be a home to the owners how they like it. Cosy, practical & functional. Absolutely fine for us and accurately described - location really good & parking great for 1 vehicle we have a discovery and no problem. We took a fire stick down but you can’t link that up to the network, which was unusual- no porch for wet stuff, but you can see this from advert so again prepared for it. Anyway really enjoyed stay and would book again.

Fantastic cosy base for our short stay. Great view, feels like a world away from civilisation but less than a five minute walk to Ambleside town centre. Five minutes in the opposite direction and we were onto the fells. Our host Linda was very helpful throughout.

Blue Hill Road Cabin
The accommodations were comfortable. I recommend the address location be better labeled on the stone wall. The cab driver had difficulty finding Cabin 3. The stone wall hides the view of the cabin. The laundry from the previous tenants never got picked up and the red laundry bag sat on the front stoop all week. The outside views from the dining room window, kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms were splendid.

Really good cottage only about 2 mins walk from centre of Ambleside. Had everything you need for a nice simple stay in the lakes. Great views from the front room over the hills. They’ve just had a car parking space put in which is very handy. Great communication with owner throughout. Would definitely come back.

Lovely Stay
We had a really lovely stay. Thank you! Only issue we had is there was nowhere to park so had to pay £18 to park car in central Ambleside and it was a walk... lucky we liked the walk! Host said there is planning permission for parking to be resolved. Beautiful views over the lake and the property itself was very comfortable and we enjoyed a game of Jenga on a rainy day so would recommend!

Fantastic bolthole in a great spot
We had just over a week in this delightful cottage very nicely situated in Ambleside: an easy walk to the town (even for those of us less mobile) but a nice, quiet location for relaxing. The view - much mentioned by other reviews - does not disappoint! The sitting room is filled with light and is very comfortable indeed. The kitchen is well-equipped. It was perfect for our needs. Some small things to note: water pressure is much the same as in any old property, so expect a functional experience rather than a power shower. Beds were a little firm for our taste but this is entirely subjective and may suit many others! Parking wasn't always straightforward - the neighbouring properties all seemed very busy our week so be prepared for a little bit of shuffling in busy weeks, especially if you have a larger vehicle or more than one car in your party. These were small things much outweighed by the overall experience of a great holiday. We would definitely stay again and recommend this property..

Wonderful getaway at a well-appointed, comfortable cottage with beautiful views
Our family, me, my wife and our two sons (aged 18 and 15) had a memorable time at the property. We were blessed with warm and dry weather, which was cheering especially since the forecasts had promised rain, and we made the most of the location, driving out to Keswick one day, Grizedale on another and going for a long car tour of the North West lakes that included the awe-inspiring Whinlatter, Hardknot and Wrynose mountain passes. But for the rest of the week we walked from the cottage and say the lovely Stockghyll waterfall, the "Champion Tree" walk in the woods to the south of Ambleside, and we climbed up Loughriff Fell, the big hill opposite the cottage which afforded lovely views of Ambleside on the descent. And Ambleside itself is such a gem. Although busy, it has a enchanting charm. The cottage is so well appointed and so beautifully decorated, with comfortable furniture and aesthetically pleasing furnishings, it fitted our family so well. Cliff Coultart

Charming Ambleside Stay
This rental was very comfortable, and a great spot for my family during our trip to Ambleside. The kitchen was small but appropriately equipped. We appreciated the games and puzzles on rainy days. And the view is stunning. Guests should be aware that there are no laundry facilities in this rental and the laundromat in town doesn’t have a change machine or a vending machine for detergent (It’s also pricy and busy).

A super cottage in Ambleside
Our family of four had a really lovely week at Bluehill Cottage. The sun shone almost every day and the cottage is perfect to make the most of this kind of weather - it faces south-west and gets the sun all the way from late morning until sunset. Perfect for sitting out at the front in the evening. On arrival we had no problem parking on the lane at the front, and in fact we didn't move the car all week as the local bus service is excellent and there's lots to do in and around Ambleside itself. I'd recommend the steep but relatively short walk up Wansfell Pike for views over Ambleside and Windermere - just carry on up the lane/track as far as you can go then turn right up the steep path to the summit. The c6ottage is only a few minutes walk into the centre of Ambleside. We were the first visitors after a recent refurbishment - everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is small but well designed and we had no trouble cooking there. It's worth noting the steps are steep, especially to the top floor - our kids loved the steps but they could be an issue for elderly visitors. The views from all windows at the front are fantastic. The living room has two big sofas and was a nice space to relax in during the evenings. Thanks Linda, we really enjoyed ourselves and hope to visit again one day!
