2 Riverside Cottage Reviews

Geraldine

What a great place to stay so peaceful and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Ambleside but within a very short walking distance to it if you want to shop, eat out , have coffee etc, catch the local buses. Views of the Fells and river from the back and front. Spacious kitchen, dining area and living room. A lovely garden and patio area to enjoy if you are lucky with the weather !.Some great walks over the fells from the cottage no need to use your car. We have ear marked this place to stop again if it is available next time we visit Ambleside.

Jeanette

Would highly recommend this cottage brilliant setting and area. The comfort and high quality interior superb all you need to take is your clothes and food as everything in the cottage is provided from all utensils, cooking pots, etc good quality bedding linen towels etc. Games, DVDs ,CDs , books local information. Had the most wonderful stay there and so enjoyed the garden watching the many local birds etc. We certainly look forward to booking again for a return stay.

We were really happy with the property. It met the needs of 2 adults and 2 elderly small dogs. Spotlessly clean but a little tired with a bit of mould around the grouting. Basic kitchen facilities but was surprised there was no salt, pepper, oil etc available. Another toilet roll would be appreciated! Please see this as positive feedback. We had a fabulous week.

Lovely little cottage. A few things needed for us to want to return, WiFi, new TV signal on aerial kept going welcome pack most places at least have wash up liquid and the heating was a pain, needed it on but was hot at the wrong times! These bits would have elevated it to somewhere we wouldn't hesitate to return , the location is excellent , lovely and cosy , great garden especially for dogs.

Philip

I was very impressed with the care and attention paid to the accommodation. There was everything needed for my stay and the surroundings were very pleasant. The steps to the garden were rather steep and could do with a hand rail fitted for safety.

We loved the location and views. However the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The kitchen , dirty eggs cups, mould on the bread bin, dirty frying pans. The bathroom was really grubby, floors and the shower area all need a refurb, the shower was no the best. The garden was lovely but you could not enjoy the views from the patio due to two large shrubs blocking the view. Not even a little welcome pack of a coffee or tea. This was the first time ever. For the prices charged I would of expected a little more effort. Overall we would come the the beautiful area again, but not stay here.
