Is Candleberry Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Candleberry Cottage works well for families with children. A cot and highchair are available for younger guests. Several parks with play areas sit within walking distance of the property. The spacious kitchen gives plenty of room for family meals. Ambleside offers two cinemas and various child-friendly cafes. Lake Windermere is less than a mile away for boat trips and waterside activities.
For Couples
This property is better suited to groups than couples. The four-bedroom layout and large dining kitchen are designed for bigger parties. Couples wanting a romantic retreat would find the space too large. The shared garden and communal chapel conversion setting lack privacy. The central Ambleside location means shops and restaurants are close but the property itself doesn't offer intimate seclusion.
Pet Friendly
Candleberry Cottage does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no-pets policy for all guests. If you're travelling with dogs you'll need to find alternative accommodation in the area. Many other Lake District properties welcome pets but this converted chapel does not. The policy applies to all animals regardless of size or type.

Candleberry is in a lovely location for visiting Ambleside, close to all amenities and very quiet. The properly however requires a great deal of care and attention, for example, the curtains in the main bed room are off the rail making it difficult to draw the curtains, there is a lightbulb missing from the kitchen ceiling which has not been replaced and the wire left dangling in an already dark kitchen, the window handle in the main bedroom is broken and the window cannot be closed properly, the lounge doors are badly twisted and do not close properly letting in a strong draft of cold air. The tiled floors in the kitchen and bathroom ensuite areas were in a very poor state of cleanliness and were sticky and badly marked. There was thick dust in the main bedroom which cannot have been cleaned properly. Generally we were very disappointed with the condition and state of cleanliness of the cottage . We would not want to stay at this cottage again. We have stayed at many other Sykes cottages in Ambleside which have been very good , but this experience left us very disappointed.

We enjoyed our stay in the converted church. Everything was as expected. The accomdation was very clean. Check in and out was very smooth. The ensuite shower could have more pressure but it wasnt a problem.

Great location being so cloae to town and also having a parking space. Lots of walks from the door. Lovely huge social kitchen and table, comfy beds, and good showers. Appliances all well maintained. Needs a little refresh of some of the homewares PotsPans, no Eggflip spatula!!, airer and a good sort through the mounds of tourist leafleta most of which were many years out of date. No working extraction in bathrroms but nice sound effects. Pickiness aside, a nice cottage we would stay at again.

We have been coming to Ambleside with the children for 8 years, the parking spots at St Anne's church are worth their weight in gold! Candleberry was a very cosy and comfortable cottage, plenty of room and comfy beds. We would not hesitate to return!
Philippa

Very good position in Ambleside away from the busy main streets. The accomodation was up to expectations and served our group very well. One niggle was there was only two loo rolls for 7 people for a week. Also would be nice to have some basic essentials ie salt and pepper!
