What a little gem in the heart of Ambleside. A parking space at the side of the property. A little table and chairs to sit outside on an evening as for once we had fantastic weather. Inside has everything you need, the sofa and bed really comfortable the only downside is the shower which was a source of entertainment as it was either freezing cold or boiling hot we couldn't seem to get it regulated but that could be just us. Really enjoyed our stay thank you.

The cottage was clean and comfortable. We have been before. The owner supplies all the little things washing up liquid, toiletries etc and also left biscuits and wine for us. Everything was fine. The parking is a bonus, and the location is a couple of hundred metres from the centre of Ambleside. Will return when we're next in the Lakesl.

Good location, great to have off road parking. House has everything you need for a short stay holiday. Need to advise customers in advance of stay that oven gloves are not provided, then can bring their own to avoid getting burnt if using oven. Bathroom needs attention, shower very difficult to work, variable temperature, went from boiling hot to freezing cold during having a shower everything used. House rules not very welcoming, came across very naggy and shouting.

We were very happy with the accommodation, the shower was difficult to get right, apart from that every thing was perfect, it was very well equipped. Ideally positioned shops 10 mins down the road. Bus rides a walk away to get to Grassmere Keswick, Bowness. We had a great time, we would love to come back one day thank you. From somerset

Excellent location near to the Town centre, with onsite parking adjacent to the Cottage. Ideal for a two person holiday The property was well equipped and was clean and tidy. Good communication from the property manager

Superb location and good communications with the owner. Unfortunately the cottage was not clean on arrival so had to vacuum and wipe surfaces before unpacking. Lots of hairs in the bath.

Fab little place, comfy bed, warm, well equipped, good location and a parking space! We walked from the door every day would recommend.

Comfy smashing house, central location ideal for lots of walks, Windermere ferries etc. Everything you need is on hand. Great comms from manager.

This was a very nice base for our stay in the Lake District. The property is a short walk south of the centre of Ambleside. We had a slight problem with the lock on the bathroom door but this did not cause us difficulties. The rain might have kept away a bit more but we can't blame the property for that!

This was a clean, comfortable and well equipped house. The parking was very good also, a proper space. Had lovely view from the bedroom window and location was central to the town and the lake. Plenty of walks from the door up Fairfield ect and near the a very good bus route if you didnt want to drive. Everything was easy to work and good communication with owner. WiFi not so hot maybe the router needs to be in a prominent place in the property but this was minor. Had a great holiday and Ambleside was its lovely self. Thanks for a stress free break xx

Church View is situated in a convenient position and is only a few minutes walk into the centre of Ambleside. It has a private parking bay which is extremely useful. The accommodation is very clean and, altough compact has everything one needs. It has a good shower however, the only negative I can say is that the mattress tends to slope on both sides and one feels as if they are falling out of bed which unfortunately resulted in a few sleepless nights. All in all, a great cottage and ideally situated to enjoy the outdoors.

Stayed before again another comfortable stay. Only comment would be an outside light on the back sliding door for when packing up especially in the winter months when your trying to pack up the car to leave once the clocks change and its dark by 4.30pm

A very comfortable and well appointed cottage. It is on a fairly busy road but you really don't notice any noise when inside. It is very convenient for the town which has excellent pubs and restaurants etc. The adjacent parking is a big advantage. We would certainly recommend this cottage and we would very much like to return ourselves one day.

Well designed and equipped. Traffic noise was not noticed as we had thought it might be disturbing. Car parking was a great bonus. Walk in shower might have been preferable to over bath. We enjoyed our stay and it was local to everything. Would choose to stay again if health probs permit.

Only reasons I have not given 5 stars are the northfacing, overlooked patio area and the traffic noise, neither of which you can do anything about, but it does mean I won't stay here again. Inside is lovely though and I did enjoy my stay.

An excellent base from which to explore the lakes. A well equipped and comfortable cottage.

Another excellent stay at Church View. Cosy cottage with all the facilities we needed for a very enjoyable stay. Stunning views from the bedroom, particularly with the snow on the hilltops. Perfect location for walking in the area and within a 2 minute walk of the centre of Ambleside. Onsite parking is a real bonus. We will be back again.

Very cosy little cottage. The bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever had. Right in the heart of Ambleside is a big plus. The TV was very basic and could do with a Freeview box being added. Also like most rentals the quilt was very heavy, about 13.5 Tog, too hot for us. On the whole a lovely property.

Churchview, Ambleside excellent accommodation Ideally located just a short walk to shops, restaurants and pubs. Still within easy flat walking distance the garden centre with much more than plants on offer and of course Lake Windermere itself.

A lovely comfortable cottage spotlessly clean ! Close to all amenities and central to loads of places . Would highly recommend!

Excellent well provisioned cottage in Ambleside. Extremely convenient for local town. 5 star

Clean, warm. quiet and cosy cottage easy walking distance to amenities.

Had a fantastic stay at church cottage. The location is great with only a five minute walk into Ambleside with its abundance of shops, bars and restaurants. Property was easy to access with its own car parking spot next to the cottage itself. As with other reviews tv was a bit squelchy at times but tolerable and the WiFi was great and handled the streaming of TV shows very well. Was asked to put the binrecycling out but the information folder says this happens every two weeks and so asked the owner if it was to be put out the week of our stay. The owner came back but was unsure and so after investigating on the Internet we found that recycling was collected 1 week then general waste the week after. The site offered a printable calendar showing the collections for the property which I would recommend the owner to add to the information file for the cottage. All in all we had a great stay and would visit and recommend the property

Extremely good spec, thanks

Lovely cottage. Clean, well equipped and close to town.what more do you need! Would recommend and would go back again.

Smashing cottage with everything you need for a comfy week's holiday. Great location for lots of walks, the ferry's from Waterhead and local supermarkets, pubs and eating places. We liked Church View very much indeed. Good car parking space and lovely view to the mountains from the bedroom window. Property manager Lesley is very helpful and keeps in contact via email and text to ensure everything is ok with the property. Thank you.

The property suited us perfectly Really comfotable and clean and in an extremely handy situation with the added bonus of a parking space. The owners had left comprehensive information and also kindly checked that we were happily settled in. Really enjoyed our stay.

Very well equipped, conveniently situated for shops, cafes, buses, etc. A little bit small for spending too much time there, very limited outside space. Certainly nothing to complain about generally and good to have parking.

Great stay. Very happy. Minor point is the TV reception, often the TV gives a loud pop like a gunshot. Poss could be remedied by fitting Internet TV as the Broadband wS super. Would recommend to others.

Lovely little cottage in excellent location providing all facilities needed for a comfortable holiday

Unfortunately after 5 days we had to leave due to illness. Still trying, at the owner's suggestion, to achieve a refund for the last two days with Sykes they have as yet not reponded to this request.

Lovely cottage, exactly as described. Booking was easy and Sykes contacted us with all relevant details.

A great place to say in the lakes, Ambleside is a great location

The cottage was unfortunately filthy when we arrived. We spent almost 3 hours cleaning before we could even bring ourselves to unpack. We in fact left one day before we were due to as we just couldn't settlefeel comfortable in the cottage. Not only were there still crumbs on the worktops, jam stuck to the toaster, tea stains and human hair stuck on the front of the washing machine, a dirty sinkdraining board and grime in the cupboard under the sink in the kitchen, the floor and the rug were full of dust and human hairs in the living room. In the bathroom, the shower headfixtures had not been cleaned properly in a long time and nor had the tiled floor. The bedroom wardrobe had not been wiped out inside and the skirting boards throughout revealed that the cottage had not had a spring clean in a very long time. Thankfully, the bathroom towels and bedding seemed clean otherwise we would have had to abandon our trip completely. The fact we are still living with COVID makes these conditions even more unacceptable than under normal circumstances. Also, there were far too many unnecessary soft furnishings throws, rugs and cushions throughout that we had to hide away while we were there given the germs they would be harbouring. They look fairly old and tired at any rate. A previous guest had even written in the little information pack in the cottage that they had found nail clippings in the large red rug in the living room!! So clearly we are not the only guests to have had a disappointing stay. It is a shame as the location of the cottage is great in Ambleside and the fact it has its own parking space is a real bonus in such a busy town. The owner also refused to accept my feedback which I delivered respectfully on the day we left one day early. This has put us off booking a cottage through Sykes again in the future, sadly.

In an ideal spot in Ambleside, Church View was comfortable and had everything I needed. Having its own parking space was a benefit!

The cottage was lovely and cosy just right for two people for a weeks holiday. The off road parking was a very good. We did not use our car all week. The bus stops to different parts of the Lake District is a small walk away from the cottage. If you need to eat out there are a lot of very nice restaurant close by. I book the restaurants we used before we arrived to be on the safe side with all the restitutions there are now. Everything we needed to cook with was supplied in the cottage. The weather was not very kind to us but this did not stop us from going out every day visiting different places and enjoying walking in the rain too. Will be back. Mrs Smith

A lovely bijou property for two. Tastefully decorated in a good location to explore the area.

Perfect location. Lovely accommodation, clean and well presented. Looking to come back when coronavirus over.
