We LOVED staying at Juliet's place. It was very central for our Fell hiking adventures, and it was next to a number of good pubs, a tesco and restaurants. There was lots of space for the three of us and the kitchen was well equipped so we cooked breakfast every mending, and dinner one night as well. We would definitely stay again.

My friends came from China to visit the lakes. We had great time at Juliet's place. The location cannot be better with a great view from the front windows. The house has got everything we need as at home. We cooked our dinner and enjoyed the welcome wine. My friends were impressed by so many cooking spices in the kitchen. Juliet has provided detailed information and prompt response to our call. It is better than hotel stay. We will visit again. Thanks Juliet!

A lovely property - very spacious, light, clean, comfy and Juliet had provided everything we could need. Would definitely recommend and would love to come again!

Would recommend Juliet's home - Great location, great town house, and very well equipped.

A beautiful and tastefully de prayed house in the centre of the town In close proximity to almost everything.. The weather was fantastic .. The host was even better with absolutely everything at home.

Lovely house in a very central location! Juliet left a wine for us as a welcome gift. There was also tea, coffee and lot's of other things to cook with. There is a tesco right opposite the house, which was also very handy. Finding parking just outside might be difficult even though possible, but you can stop to unload and then park easily max 5 mins walk away.

Top marks across the board. The accommodation is wonderful, made even better by the thoughtful touches Juliet has included. On arrival we were treated to a lovely bottle of wine to help us settle in, and Kendal Mint Cake for sustenance, when we embarked on our walks. There were spices and herbs in the cupboards, olive oil, real coffee for the coffeemaker provided - there was even a pint of milk in the fridge. In fact, all the kitchen equipment is of excellent quality: chef knives, spatulas, wooden spoons, ladles, cutlery, pots and pans, cups, mugs, plates dishes - everything is there for you. The decoration is immaculate and very tasteful. We loved the fact that when we explored the very pretty town of Ambleside, we noticed Juliet has drawn her inspiration to furnish the house, from the selection of independent shops that line the streets. As you would expect, there are plenty of walks on offer. We chose two short treks, Lily Tarn and Jenkin Crag. Both equally rewarding in their own special ways, with wonderful views and points of genuine interest and beauty with every bold step you take. We were lucky enough to be blessed with wonderful weather on 3 of the 4 days during our stay, but the rain we had on our 4th day didn't dampen our spirit. We drove to Carnforth Railway Station to the original film set of 'Brief Encounter'. We had a cracking time there. And on our return in the evening, we headed to the 300 year old 'The Golden Rule' pub for a couple of pints of the wonderfully named 'Yippee IPA'. No umbrella needed, everything is so close you don't even get the chance to get wet. If you're thinking of taking a break to the Lakes, look no further. I really cannot imagine a more perfect place to stay.

Juliet was a great host, the information and photographs she provided were all accurate and we were not disappointed. She was in contact every stage of the process to make sure everything was ok. Yes, there is a slight issue about parking but this was made clear and solutions were given which worked well; there are steep stairs in the house, but again we were warned about these so no surprise there either. The house was in a great location in the centre of Ambleside. It was immaculately clean and well presented. I was very pleased to see such a lovely bathroom and there were hairdryers and hair straighteners provided which was nice We would certainly recommend this property!

It's very local to Ambleside - just a 10 minute walk at most.

Amanda was very welcoming, nice property for our weekend stay.

We had a great short stay at Herdwick Heft. Amanda was really welcoming and helpful. The home is very comfortable, well equipped and being so close to the town centre, with parking, it is ideally situated for getting around. a great place to stay.

Amanda showed us around the apartment upon arrival and was available for any questions during our stay. We've just enjoyed 3 fabulous days based at Herdwick Heft and would highly recommend to any couple/single traveller. The apartment is gorgeous and you can see it is lovingly cared for; all mod cons and spotlessly clean. Within a few minutes walking distance to local restaurants and shops, so we were able to eat out every evening. Thank you Amanda!

Had a great stay at Amanda's place. Such a great location for all of the hikes and walks you can do, and so nice to come back to our little space afterwards!

We had the most magical few days and absolutely can't wait to visit again sometime. Amanda has given amazing attention to detail and thought of everything you could possibly need. She also has great knowledge of the local area, places to go, eat and walk. It's right in Ambleside so whatever you want to do is a very short walk or drive and there are maps and walks info left at the flat too. Absolutely recommended anyone wanting to stay its a proper little Jem!

Upon arrival at the local train station, the host and her son met me and granted me a lift to the property. On the short drive to Ambleside, each sequentially pointed out numerous beauty spots and building of significant's. Upon arrival we opened up the property and Amanda tendered a fresh loaf of bread to me, pointed out the coffee, milk and juice she had kindly purchased for me. We checked wifi was able to be activated, then she left me in peace to sleep off my jet-lag from the 24 hour flight. I could not have anticipated a better welcoming, and intend to frequent the Lake District again in the summer of 2017. Moreover, the hospitality of the local folk the whole of the north of England was brilliant. Never once did I sit at an unclean table! The Lake District is the best place to visit. Note: On the morning of departure, I caught the bus 599 to Windermere station, then travelled onto Oxenholme. I boarded the London bound train at Oxenholme, then realized I had left my suitcase on the bus! I proceed to jump off the train, and consulted the Team leader at the railway station. Who advised "jump on the next train back to Windermere, but consult the platform supervisor. Tell him your scenario, hopefully they'll put you on the next train back to Windermere". This is exactly what happened, in the interim I called the local bus company, and they confirmed that the same bus would be at the station just after my arrival at Windermere. I arrived at 12.03, walked out the station to the waiting bus, advised the driver, and he confirmed "I was beginning to wonder who had left that case"! The trip back home to the UK, and the honesty of the people has left me speechless. I thank them all most sincerely, and look forward to seeing the Great Far North in 2017

Beautifully presented little flat, well equipped and ideally located for exploring the Ambleside area. Amanda was a very good hostess and made us feel very welcome, even texting us good choices for restaurants. Nice little welcome gift of croissants and honey.

Herdwick Heft is an ultra modern inside to a traditional stone cottage. Everything is lovely - clean, comfortable, a good shower, and all you need in the kitchen. Clearly much thought has gone into equipping the cottage. It is in an excellent location, especially if like us you choose to use your bus pass. There is an easy walk into town or down to Waterhead, and there are of course, lots of great longer walks starting from Ambleside!

Both The location and the room are very good, we have stay for two nights and the experience is good

Andy was a great host, Breakfast is very good, rooms are clean and wonderful location, we will return, thanks Gavin & Amanda

Really well situated in the village and comfy, cosy room. The bed and linen was sooo comfy; we didn't want to get up! Andy was a great host; he was friendly and recommended us places to go whilst leaving us to our own devices. Would definitely recommend.

Andy was a great host this weekend! Met us at the door on arrival and was always there when we needed him throughout our stay. Breakfast was lovely, would definitely reccomend the full English! Thanks again!

Highly recommend; extremely welcoming, excellent knowledge of the area, very friendly, well maintained guest house, a very pleasant stay.

We had a great stay in Ambleside, Andy was really friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a lovely stay at Andy's B&B. The breakfast was really really good, the room was comfy enough, and we appreciated the suggestions for walks etc in the area :)

Cozy cottage with everything needed for a perfect getaway from London city. Would love to come back again!

Beautiful stone cottage which is near enough to the centre of town and the windermere lake. Very clean, homely with quaint furnishing which gives the feel of country living.

Cute little cottage and walking distance from all Ambleside's shops and restaurants, and from the start of several lovely hikes.

Really great place. 5 mins walk to Ambleside's amenities but away from the hustle and bustle. Very comfortable with lots of charm. Good views as well!

Gareth was very friendly - lots of helpful comms :)

Cute cottage in a beautiful village. It has all you could want for an enjoyable country holiday.

Fermain was a lovely base for us to complete The Cumbrian Challenge. The beds were comfy, the shower great and the hot water plentiful. The cottage is excellently located to explore Ambleside and surrounding areas and we will be looking to book again.

We had a lovely stay at Gareth's place. The location is excellent with wonderful views over Ambleside. We found everything we needed in the beautiful cottage and l wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other visitors. Thank you!

Andrew's flat is excellent and lived up to the photos and description. The tasty flapjacks were very welcoming. Everywhere was sparklingly clean. The flat is right in town with great views, but it is a steep climb up. Ambleside is a lovely location in itself and for the Lakes in general.

Wonderful, the photos do not do the apartment justice, lovely views and a superb location. Ready to book again for our anniversary next year!

Beautiful apartment in a beautiful location. Really well equipped, we have loved our stay. Would recommended a visit to anyone!

Excellent apartment, exactly as described and the hosts kindly left us some really good homemade flapjacks as a welcome gesture

FANTASTIC. I will honestly run out of adjectives for this wonderful apartment. Set up above Ambleside so the view is wonderful but close enough you can walk everywhere in the town (there are quite a few steps down into the town) or walk out into the hills from the apartment. The apartment itself - plenty of space for 4, very comfortable, recently done up, beautifully arranged and well equipped. And the icing on the cake - the delicious flapjacks. A little gem.

Fantastic apartment, all the comforts of home and more. Incredible views and a location close to the town centre. Looking forward to visiting again

Ambleside was our first stop for the 2-week vacation in UK. Andrew's beautiful flat did give us a very warm welcome after 12 hrs' flight + 5 hrs' drive. We already miss this place, spacious enough for us to relax at 'home', more than convenient as it's just 3 minutes fm hustle and bustle yet u don't loose the tranquility and privacy. A few minutes' drive can already take you to the scenic beauty of the lake, the exciting tree trek and tree net at the national park; or you can stay at 'home' to hv fun with the games and books kindly provided by the host. It's a pity that we only stayed for 3 nights as there is a lot to do in the area. Cannot see why we should not return and enjoy this rare find again. Last but not least, a big thank you to Andrew and Lesley for everything. Although we did not hv chance to thank you in person, we feel your heart and kindness all the way.

Lovely clean flat with all things you need and even more. Swimming pool onn the site and walking distance to the central of town. Amazing views...

Lovely cottage, great for couples and brilliant location

The cottage is well equipped and very clean, the bed is comfortable and the bedding smelt really fresh and nice. The fire in the lounge was amazing with plenty of coal, we had a really cozy time. Pubs, restaurants and shops are within approx 5 minute walk. We would really recommend the cottage and Steve was very helpful and responsive in the booking process.

Such a lovely cottage and really easy to get to great walks from the cottage. Host is very friendly. Only problem is parking. People ignore the sign that says parking for hilcrest resident only and the roads around the cottage can get extremely jam packed with cars so it's hard to find a space

A splendid place for two people to stay and enjoy Ambleside and its environs. The cottage was well-equipped, quiet and comfortable. Steve was very helpful and we would readily stay again.

We had a lovely stay at Steve's place - a great cottage that made a great base for our few days stay. It is a fantastic location for exploring the nearby fells - we were able to walk the Fairfield Horseshoe from the doorstep, with a celebratory pint in the cosy Golden Rule at the end! Under floor heating also much appreciated for drying out coats, boots and maps at the end of the day!

The cottage is full of lakeside character. It is a mere 3 minute walk into town. One of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in, which is very welcome after a full days walking.

Great location close to all amenities in Ambleside. Cottage was lovely. Very nice bathroom. Well equipped kitchen and cosy bedroom. Very calming and quiet atmosphere made for a perfect Lakeland break for us.

Excellent location as I arrived on public transport . Lovely walks from the door !

We stayed here for 3 nights as a group of 5. Communication with Rani was easy although we did not meet her. The house is clean, central (although mind the steep hill if you are walking home and the driveway if you have a car!) and all necessary amenities are offered. Highly recommended.

Welcome pack was provided, also information on local amenities. Cottage was immaculate with clear instructions for waste disposal and recycling.

We have really enjoyed our stay at Sheenfell. The wet weather didn't affect us. The house was lovely, clean and spacious. It has everything we need. The location was also fantastic. Literally two minutes drive to town centre - we didn't walk (due to a dodgy knee) because it's a short steep climb to get back up to the house. It has all the shops, museum, cinema, plenty of restaurants and takeaways (I highly recommend Itihaas). It was easy to reach Bowness, Windermere and Wray Castle by either a bus, a car or Lake Cruise at Ambleside Pier. The host has been lovely. He sent a message to check if we have received the itinerary and that we've settled in okay.

A comfortable and cosy cottage, that provided us with a perfect, central base to call home for the weekend of The Great North Swim. Although a little dated, it has everything you might need for a comfortable holiday break. The layout of the bungalow is ideal for guests who might battle with stairs or for small children. And Rani's communication was friendly and very helpful.

We enjoyed our stay immensely at this bungalow, Rani was very helpful in providing information I required before and during our stay. I would highly recommend staying here as a base to see the lake district to anyone.

Good description with directions sent in good time. Nice neighbourhood, close to village centre. Comfortable spacious accommodation. Kitchen was less well stocked than expected. Clearly not lived in as main home.

Rani organised a great visit for myself and my family, in a cottage with a great location just outside of the lovely Ambleside. The house itself was large and comfortable, with a great kitchen for chefs. We slept very well, had great walks and relaxed in comfort. Thanks very much.

Great cottage, great location, a 5 min walk into Ambleside. Cottage itself was spotless with everything we needed. My family and I had a great time.

Excellent place. Nice hostess! Location is good either.

Great place to stay. Super breakfast.Thanks for everything Carolyn. Kind regards Anne&Nils

Very lovely house ,very clean and comfortable room and very nice and kind Carolyn and her husband, we spent really great time when we stay in Windermere.Highly recommend !!

This was a wonderful experience. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful for directions and interests in the area. The room and home was nicely appointed and comfortable... and the continental breakfast was absolutely delicious. Location of the home was quiet, and in walking distance to town centre. My daughter and I would most definitely enjoy staying there again!

The house is beautiful, clean and warm. We were welcomed by the host Anthony at the Windemere train station where he drove us to the house. The house is very close to both the Bouness Ferry Pier and the Windemere train station, both takes around 15 minute of walking. Host Carolyn is very helpful and friendly, not only she prepared breakfast for us, but also print out maps and transportation timetables. It is one of my best airbnb experience so far! Highly recommended!

Lovely house and very friendly hosts. Fantastic fruit breakfast. Highly recommended.

Lovely and welcoming host! Would definitely stay again. Clean and tidy house with lots of information on the area. Lovely breakfast in the morning and perfect location to walk in to town!

We had a lovely stay at Carolyn's house. We instantly felt welcome, the facilities were perfect and the continental breakfast was delicious. For just a 10 minute walk into Windermere village it was great value for money and we hope to stay again the future :)

We really enjoyed our stay. Mysty is in a perfect location for travelling to Ambleside (where the start/finish line was for Sam's ultra marathon). Mysty is exactly as described and offered everything to make our stay comfortable. Sam was particularly grateful of the bath post race! Thanks for hosting us Sharon.

The apartment was as described and although very small had everything required. It was comfortable and as we had good weather during our stay we made use of the outdoor setting for some of our meals. The Windermere area is magnificent and it was easy to get around.

Thank you very much Sharon for arranging early access for our stay and sorry once again for interrupting your ride because I transposed the keysafe code ! Mysty is accurately described. It was ideal for us and good value because we had family staying in an excellent park in Bowness (but it cost them more than £40 a night for caravan parking). It was lovely to be able to follow in the footsteps of Wainwright up Orrest Head, which was his first ascent in Lakeland. My 3 point turning skills were good enough for our 2009 Seat Leon (a much larger car might be a bit tricky) so the parking space was another welcome bonus. Very happy.

Mysty may be small but is has everything you need; so cosy warm and comfortable and its located right in the centre of the town.Perfect base for touring! Immaculately clean as well.

Sharon is a great hostess. The instruction is quite clear so we can easily get to the apartment from the railway station within 5 minutes' walk. Mysty is a cozy place to stay and make us feel at home. There are all kinds of facilities to use such as the fridge and microwave which is quite convenient. Mysty is a lovely place to stay if you plan to spend several days in Windermere and the Lake District.

Location was very good, cottage compact but everthing that was needed was provided. Very clean and presentable.

Mysty is a fantastic base for exploring the lakes. It is small but idea for a budget option and you can't get better for location. Sharon was an amazing host who really went the extra mile for us, thank you Sharon!

Stayed at Mysty in the heart of Windermere for three nights. Loved it. Very well organised flat and you will find everything you need. Would love stay at Mysty again on our next visit.

A lovely place to stay for a weekend break. Excellent breakfast and really kind/friendly staff. Christine went the extra mile to make my stay as comfortable as can be.

Christine and Anthony were very helpful hosts and accommodating with my bike too. The place itself was clean and has great views of the surrounding fells and within easy reach of the various restaurants and amenities. Will definitely stay here again if I was ever back in Ambleside!

My room was very clean and comfortable, and Christine was lovely.

A really lovely experience. Christine & Anthony are great hosts and run a great B&B. Everything beautiful and clean, super comfortable beds and wonderful breakfast. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay, great location and Christine is a superb host. Thanks.

had a great couple of nights in Ambleside at Robin's place. perfect place for a getaway, we stayed two nights, the location is perfect as you can walk into town for dinner and a drink. you can also head straight out on foot to do some of the great walks in the area. robin gave us two recommendations for walks which were perfect for what we were after, very friendly and accommodating host, very nice room, and a great breakfast! would highly recommend this place to friends and family.

We had an absolutely lovely stay with Robin. The rooms were really comfortable with a private bathroom. The breakfast was so delicious. Robin interacted just as much as you wanted him to and gave fabulous suggestions for drives and walks around the local area. He was waiting for my parents as soon as they pulled up to the house and I joined them on the second night. Everything was easy. Lovely place to stay.

Robin was super helpful whilst planning our days for us, he helped us decide which trails to take , provide detailed hand written maps with places where we could swim . He recommended excellent food option , talked on our behalf to taxi and dropped us at a very economical rate to station. His house is very cozy , we felt at home , heating worked excellent. We had access to kitchen , living room & balcony had scenic view. He made excellent breakfast including eggs & veg breakfast including mushroom & cereals & fruits for us. I don’t know what more we can ask of a host frankly . We highly recommend him

Robin's home in How Head Barn is quite a special treat. To be in a building so old historically and having been lovingly renovated in such good taste and with interesting decorations made this part of my trip all the more fascinating. Location was excellent as others have said. To be only a few steps away from all my basic needs, and to have Robin's attention focussed on my interests, exploring ideas for travel in this district with his instruction was invaluable. There was even a space for my car which made life easier! Come and stay. You'll love it!

Robin's apartment is in an amazing old stone barn that has been sensitively converted to provide a generous sized bedroom with sitting area and a modern bathroom with excellent facilities. It is in a very quite area but within a few minutes walk of two pubs, restaurants and the rest of the town making it the ideal location to visit Ambleside. Robin is a wonderful host who welcomes you into his home, serving a hearty breakfast and is readily available, and yet is happy to leave you alone to enjoy the apartment. He is a great source of information about the area including the walks available and was an enormous help to us in optimising our opportunities to see the Lakes area in challenging weather. As a result we were able to have a walk to overlook Lake Windermere and Ambleside in the sun and drive around a scenic route, with a stop for a gourmet lunch at the Drunken Duck, when the weather deteriorated. Overall we could not have asked for a better place to stay or host to welcome us to such a stunning part of the country.

Fabulous stay, fabulous host! We really enjoyed our stay at the How Head BandB. It was just as described, and delightful in every way. Robin was always prompt with communication and provided great information for everything including how to get there, (do follow Robin's instructions, not GPS!), where to eat, and more importantly info and tips on what to do and where to go. Robin has extensive local knowledge and walking experience. He had heaps of detailed maps that we could borrow as well, and brochures, vouchers etc for Lakes attractions. The barn is in a great quiet picturesque spot in Ambleside, just a short walk down to the village, and very well positioned for touring the Lakes District. The room was lovely, clean, with plenty of space and storage, and a new bathroom with a beautiful rain shower. Robin's breakfasts were delicious, and so pleasant to eat in the room with a view. He went out of his way to help us, happy to chat, but not intrusive, and it felt like we were staying with a friend. Top notch Robin, hope we can return one day! Thanks again

Robin was a fantastic host, beautiful property and great location. Robin was a great source of info for hikes and the local area in general. Will be recommending to friends and family.

Staying with Robin was a great experience, the quality of the accommodation was excellent and Robin was a friendly, knowledgeable but discreet host. The availability of on-site parking is a big bonus in Ambleside. We will be back!

We had a lovely family stay in Corinne's chalet. It was a comfortable base for us to explore the gorgeous surrounding Lakes.

Enjoyed our visit and found the property to be great for our needs.

A lovely cottage in the resort. On the hills surrounded by the forest. A great experience. Board games, DVDs and towels provided.

Very nice place for holidays! However we did not have the opportunity to meet the host, no introduction was given for the facilities in the house.

A really cosy accommodation pretty much away from the other lodges around it. It was pretty well equipped however the WiFi connection is terrible and so is data connection depending on your provider. Other than that its a brilliant weekend getaway

Great location with super good lake view!! 5minutes to local super market .strongly recommended!

The lodge is a nice quite and large place for holiday. It has plenty of places to park. You can walk 5 mins to the lakes. Inside the lodge it is warm and comfortable to sleep. The only suggestions I will make is to increase wifi signal by apply a generator near the lodge.

It's a nice resort like setting but far away from the main drag. It cost £9 every time you want to go out to town and it was difficult to get back if it was late night as no taxis were available. One night we had to take the bus and they charged us double the amount £18 to drop us to white cross bay. I thought that was a rip off. I would prefer to stay closer to town as this place was 3 miles away. If you have your own car it's perfectly fine. But don't go by the pictures on Air B&B. It's not the same as you see online. Most important there is NO WIFI at all there. They may say it has WIFI trust me there isn't. Neither do regular phones work there as I am told there are no towers around to pick up signals.

We had a lovely time in Jacqui's place. The cottage is lovely and has a very good location. I would definitely recommend it!

Karen's flat was even better than it looks in the photos. The location couldn't have been better - in the centre of everything but private and quiet as well. The flat is spacious, clean and has all the amenities you might need to have a comfortable stay in the Lakes. Karen is a lovely host. She was quick to reply to questions and even left a couple of goodies for us upon arrival. Would absolutely recommend making this your base if you want to explore Ambleside and surrounding areas!

Very central place... the flat itself is very pleasant, quiet and confortable with good equipment overall but we did not have access to wifi which I did not realise before booking. Very close to restaurants and shops

Nice host and nice house. Will live in your house again if I come back to Ambleside.

Karen place is really the best one in Lake District!

Karen's apartment is spacious and nicely decorated. The kitchen is very well equipped, what was important for us since we prepare all meals there. The apartment is in a great location, within close proximity to shops and pubs. And most important, Karen is an amazing person. Very helpful (even our late hours of check in) and nice (left us a sweet welcome in the kitchen). I recommend it a lot!

Great place. Great stay. Would recommend.

A beautiful, quiet oasis in central Ambleside, in the heart of the Lake District. Near everything. Well kitted out.

We had a really lovely stay in Karens flat. It has everything you need, a well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds and the flat has a cozy, homey feel to it. Ambleside is the most beautiful little village, with lots of small shops, cafés and traditional pubs and the locations Karen's flat is perfect for exploring the Lakes, as many of the most beautiful places in the area are within a short driving- or walking distance. Highly recommend!
