8 1/2 Church Street Reviews

Overall we very much enjoyed our week in this spacious and comfortable characterful cottage. Main reason for booking was the location and this proved very convenient with its own parking too. One negative related to this is the regular coming and going of cars parking outside particularly later at night plus Church Street is a well used road at all times. Hot tub was nice after long walks although as has already been highlighted shame it wasnt ready for our first night. The showers are both a little compromised with the one over the bath having limited head height and the walk in shower an odd set up not being enclosed so water routinely soaks the floor! The low doorways caught each of us out on numerous occasions but unavoidable in a 500 year old cottage! The inclusion of a parking disc would be helpful for families or couples to stay with more than one car. It was a surprise not to have a welcome basket on our arrival not even a pint of milk! None of these issues detract from the appeal of the cottage and location and would certainly recommend to others.

Booked the cottage for February. Cottage was in a perfect location for Ambleside and has been beautifully renovated by the owners to a very high standard..definitely recommended.

Really lovely well equipped cottage. Location was perfect and the cottage was comfortable and everything we needed it to be

This is a really charming cottage, lots of space and beautiful features. The location in the middle of Ambleside is central to all the lovely shops, pubs and restaurants. The hot tub and parking space are an additional bonus! Great stay, thank you.

Elizabeth

Lovely character cottage in an excellent location We enjoyed the hot tub after a day out walking

Lovely property in a great location. Perfect for 56 people with ample sittingdining space. Everything you need in the kitchen and good garden space. The hot tub is an added bonus although it hadn't been heated prior to us arriving so had to do without it on our first daynight. Other holiday rentals had visitors parking permits which would be a welcome addition to the property. We would definitely return in the future.

A beautiful conversion of two very old cottages to make a superbly laid out property. The living dining area in particular is ideal for a party of six. Equipped with everything you could want and extremely comfortable. We will be hopefully be back. One word of warning take note of the Mind Your Head signs!

Such a lovely homely cottage, styled beautifully, whilst celebrating its listed charm. We loved its closeness to local walks, shops, restaurants and pubs. We had a fantastic stay, thank you for having us. Would highly recommend.

Nathan

Really couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, excellent modernised cottage. Close to center of Ambleside. Our boys loved the hot tub. Thanks for a great stay. We all loved it, would highly recommend it to anyone looking to make a booking.
